Centaurea Procurrens
''Centaurea'' () is a genus of over 700 species of herbaceous thistle-like flowering plants in the family Asteraceae. Members of the genus are found only north of the equator, mostly in the Eastern Hemisphere; the Middle East and surrounding regions are particularly species-rich. In the western United States, yellow starthistles are an invasive species. Around the year 1850, seeds from the plant had arrived to the state of California. It is believed that those seeds came from South America. Common names Common names for this genus are centaury, centory, starthistles, knapweeds, centaureas and the more ambiguous "bluets"; a vernacular name used for these plants in parts of England is "loggerheads" (common knapweed). The ''Plectocephalus'' group – possibly a distinct genus – is known as basketflowers. "Cornflower" is used for a few species, but that term more often specifically means either '' C. cyanus'' (the annual cornflower) or ''Centaurea montana'' (the perennial c ...

They have a darker signal patch and yellow beard tipped with purple. It is rarely cultivated as an ornamental plant in temperate regions, due to it needing very dry conditions. Description It is a geophyte, with stout rhizomes,Richard Lynch that are stoloniferous, forming long thin stolons,British Iris Society (1997) or secondary roots deep into the soil.

Iris Atrofusca
''Iris atrofusca'' (Judean iris or Gilead iris) is a species in the genus ''Iris'', where it is placed in the subgenus ''Iris'' and the section ''Oncocyclus''.

The flowers also have a black or brownish-black signal patch and a thick beard that is brown-black, light brown or yellow tipped with brown. It is rarely cultivated as an ornamental plant in temperate regions. Description It has a stout, compact rhizome,British Iris Society (1997) with very long secondary roots. The rhizomes grow level with the surface of the soil, so that they can benefit from heat from the sun. The roots form dense, thick clumps reaching 0.5 m wide.

Gagea Dayana
''Gagea'' is a large genus of spring flowers in the lily family. It is found primarily in Eurasia with a few species extending into North Africa and one species (''Gagea serotina'') in North America. The genus is named after the English naturalist Sir Thomas Gage (1791-1820). They were originally described as species of ''Ornithogalum'', which, together with the usual yellow colour of the flowers, explains the English name yellow star-of-Bethlehem for the common European species, ''Gagea lutea''. p. 25.

Ferula Samariae
''Ferula'' (from Latin ''ferula'', 'rod') is a genus of about 220 species of flowering plants in the family Apiaceae, native to the Mediterranean region east to central Asia, mostly growing in arid climates. They are herbaceous perennial plants growing to 1–4 m tall, with stout, hollow, somewhat succulent stems. The leaves are tripinnate or even more finely divided, with a stout basal sheath clasping the stem. The flowers are usually yellow, rarely white, produced in large umbels. Many plants of this genus, especially '' F. communis'', are referred to as "giant fennel," although they are not fennel in the strict sense. Selected species The Roman spice laser or laserpicium probably came from a species of ''Ferula'', either an extinct one or ''Ferula tingitana'', though other identities have been suggested. Uses The gummy resin of many species of ''Ferula'' is used for various purposes: :''Ferula foetida'', ''Ferula assa-foetida'' and some other species are use ...

Erodium Telavivense
''Erodium'' is a genus of flowering plants in the botanical family Geraniaceae. The genus includes about 60 species, native to North Africa, Indomalaya, the Middle East, and Australia. They are perennials, annuals, or subshrubs, with five-petalled flowers in shades of white, pink, and purple, that strongly resemble the better-known ''Geranium'' (cranesbill). Cultivated plants are known as filarees or heron's bill in North America, whereas in the British Isles they are usually called storksbills. Taxonomy Carl Linnaeus grouped in the same genus (''Geranium''), the three similar genera ''Erodium'', ''Geranium'', and ''Pelargonium''. The distinction between them was made by Charles Louis L'Héritier de Brutelle based on the number of stamens or anthers: five for ''Erodium'',Parnell, J. and Curtis. ''Webb's An Irish Flora.'' Cork University Press. seven for ''Pelargonium'', and ten for ''Geranium''. However, the three genera have the same characteristics in regard to their fruit, ...
