Mitella Prostrata
''Mitella'' is a genus of flowering plants known as miterworts or bishop's caps. ''Mitella'' species are native to temperate and arctic North America and Asia. Description ''Mitella'' includes perennials growing from a scaly rhizome, bearing wide heart- or spade-shaped leaves near their bases and flowers with five petals in a long raceme or spike. Etymology The genus name means "little mitre", from Latin ''mitra'' with the diminutive suffix ''-ella'', since the flowers are said to resemble bishop's headdresses. In Classical Latin use, however, ''mitella'' means "female headdress" or " sling". Latin ''mitra'' comes from Greek "girdle", "headband", or "turban".

Bandage
A bandage is a piece of material used either to support a medical device such as a dressing or splint, or on its own to provide support to or to restrict the movement of a part of the body. When used with a dressing, the dressing is applied directly on a wound, and a bandage used to hold the dressing in place. Other bandages are used without dressings, such as elastic bandages that are used to reduce swelling or provide support to a sprained ankle. Tight bandages can be used to slow blood flow to an extremity, such as when a leg or arm is bleeding heavily. Bandages are available in a wide range of types, from generic cloth strips to specialized shaped bandages designed for a specific limb or part of the body. Bandages can often be improvised as the situation demands, using clothing, blankets or other material. In American English, the word ''bandage'' is often used to indicate a small gauze dressing attached to an adhesive bandage. Types Gauze bandage (common gauze roller ...

Mitella Diphylla
''Mitella diphylla'' (twoleaf miterwort, two-leaved mitrewort, or bishop's cap) is a clump forming, open woodland plant native to northeast and midwest regions of North America. Description Miterwort grows from a rhizomatous root system with fibrous roots. Leaves are coarsely toothed with 3-5 shallow lobes. Most leaves are basal, and there is one opposite pair of stemless leaves on each flower stalk. Tiny flowers with finely divided, lacy white petals are produced in mid-spring in racemes on stems growing from tall. The seeds are tiny, , produced in small green cups, formed from the sepals of the flower, and when ripe are shiny and black. They are spread when raindrops hit the cups and splash the seeds out. It grows in high quality mesic forests on moist, mossy ledges and north-facing slopes. The Latin specific epithet ''diphylla'' means two-leaved and is in reference to the non-basal leaves. Ecology The flowers produce both pollen and nectar. Due to their small size, they a ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Headband
A headband is a clothing accessory worn in the hair or around the forehead, usually to hold hair away from the face or eyes. Headbands generally consist of a loop of elastic material or a horseshoe-shaped piece of flexible plastic or metal. They come in assorted shapes and sizes and are used for both fashion and practical or utilitarian purposes. In the UK, horseshoe-shaped headbands are sometimes called "Alice bands" after the headbands that Alice is often depicted wearing in ''Through the Looking-Glass''. History Greeks and Romans The beginning of headbands was no later than around 475 BC to 330 BC, with the ancient Greeks, who wore hair wreaths. The Greeks and Romans wore these pieces for very special occasions or an important event. Cultures such as the Etruscans and Romans started to decorate their wreaths with jewels made up of gold and silver. While wreaths are certainly a likely beginning of today's headbands, some believe that current day hair bands have slowl ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
