Achillea Fragrantissima
''Achillea'' is a genus of flowering plants in the family Asteraceae, known colloquially as yarrows. The plants typically have frilly leaves. The common name "yarrow" usually refers to '' A. millefolium''. The genus was named after the Greek mythological character Achilles, whose soldiers were said to have used yarrow to treat their wounds; this is reflected by common names such as allheal and bloodwort. The genus is native primarily to Eurasia and North America. Description These plants typically have frilly, hairy, aromatic leaves. The plants show large, flat clusters of small flowers at the top of the stem. The flowers can be white, yellow, orange, pink or red and are generally visited by many insects, and are thus characterised by a generalised pollination system. Taxonomy Carl Linnaeus described the genus in 1753. The common name "yarrow" is usually applied to ''Achillea millefolium'', but may also be used for other species within the genus.

Description ''Achillea millefolium'' is an erect, herbaceous, perennial plant that produces one to several stems in height, and has a spreading rhizomatous growth form. Leaves are evenly distributed along the stem, with the leaves near the middle and bottom of the stem being the largest. The leaves have varying degrees of hairiness (pubescence).

The inflorescence has 4 to 9 ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Subspecies
In biological classification, subspecies is a rank below species, used for populations that live in different areas and vary in size, shape, or other physical characteristics (morphology), but that can successfully interbreed. Not all species have subspecies, but for those that do there must be at least two. Subspecies is abbreviated subsp. or ssp. and the singular and plural forms are the same ("the subspecies is" or "the subspecies are"). In zoology, under the International Code of Zoological Nomenclature, the subspecies is the only taxonomic rank below that of species that can receive a name. In botany and mycology, under the International Code of Nomenclature for algae, fungi, and plants, other infraspecific ranks, such as variety, may be named. In bacteriology and virology, under standard bacterial nomenclature and virus nomenclature, there are recommendations but not strict requirements for recognizing other important infraspecific ranks. A taxonomist decides whether ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Achillea Ageratum
''Achillea ageratum'', also known as sweet yarrow, sweet-Nancy, English mace or sweet maudlin, is a flowering plant in the sunflower family, native to Europe (Portugal, Spain, France, England, Belgium, Germany, Italy, Croatia and Romania), and Morocco. In the United States the plant is cultivated in the state of New York for its pleasant fragrance and sparingly naturalized in a few places outside its native range. In the Middle Ages it was used as a strewing herb to repel insects such as moths, lice and ticks and spread a good smell in private rooms. The leaves of English mace can be chopped and used raw as a herb, or added with other herbs to soups and stews.

Achillea Ageratifolia
''Achillea ageratifolia'', the Balkan yarrow or Greek yarrow, is a species of flowering plant in the daisy family Asteraceae, native to Greece and Bulgaria. Growing to tall and broad, it is a compact herbaceous perennial. It is a highly variable species, with three recognized subspecies. They have erect, simple, somewhat woody based stems. The narrow grey-green foliage resembles that of a related genus ''Ageratum'', hence the Latin specific epithet ''ageratifolia''. The solitary, daisy-like composite flower heads are white with yellow centres and about 2–3 cm across. They appear May–July in the northern hemisphere. Cultivation In cultivation in the UK, this plant has received the Royal Horticultural Society’s Award of Garden Merit. An adaptable plant, it prefers a sunny, open position. It is hardy down to -10 to -15 degrees C. It is also drought tolerant and grows well in USDA hardiness zones 3–8. Common problems include aphids and downy mildew. Taxonomy It was fi ...

Achillea Aegyptiaca
''Achillea aegyptiaca'', the Egyptian yarrow, is an ornamental plant in the aster family native to Greece. From John Wood's ''Hardy Perennials and Old Fashioned Flowers'': This is an evergreen (though herb-like) species. It has been grown for more than 200 years in English gardens, and originally came, as its name implies, from Egypt. Notwithstanding the much warmer climate of its native country, it proves to be one of the hardiest plants in our gardens. I dare say many will think the yarrows are not worthy of a place in the garden; but not only are fine and useful flowers included in this work, but also the good "old-fashioned" kinds, and that a few such are to be found amongst the yarrows is without doubt. Could the reader see the collection now before me, cut with a good piece of stem and some foliage, and pushed into a deep vase, he would not only own that they were a pleasing contrast, but quaintly grand for indoor decoration. ''Achillea aegyptiaca'' not only produces a ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
