Native, warm season, annual or sometimes perennial, prostrate to decumbent herb with stems to 25 cm long. Leaves are obovate to oblanceolate and to 25 mm long. Flowers are in 2–30-flowered heads. Petals are yellow and 4–7 mm long; scarcely exceeding the sepals. Stamens number < 20. Capsules (without calyx and corolla) are 3–6 mm long and contain black seeds. Flowering is from August to March. Grows as a weed in disturbed areas and is common on cultivated land.
Way back, a week ago, in the undercroft of the York Minster Bluey saw a tile frieze with the caption Blessed are the Peacemakers. His understanding conflated the peace and cheese references in a popular movie.
The run into Edinburgh wouldn't have helped. The correct path to the east of Edinburgh from the Forth Bridge in peak hour is around the ring road. It is not down a slip road into the centre of the city, during the Edinburgh Festival AND The Tatoo. If you think Audi drivers are bad, try Audi drivers in Edinburgh at peak hour. They define a whole knew level of arrogant. This cannot have added to the bear's sense of calm and clarity of thinking.
Once the hotel was reached, and the adrenaline fell enough to visit the servo mini-market for some snacks and cider Bluey thought to try out some of the incantations he'd heard in his attempt to understand the peculiar human beliefs.
In a further moment of confusion and misunderstanding reminiscent of a Kath and Kim classic conflated with the frieze in York he adopts the pose and prostrates himself before the little baby cheeses. Poor Bluey. It's been a big, and ugly intro to Edinburgh.
Introduced, cool-season, annual, erect or ± prostrate herb, 10-20 cm tall. Leaves are narrow-lanceolate to narrow-obovate to spathulate, 1.5–3 cm long, 2–8 mm wide, apex obtuse to acute and mucronate, base slightly stem-clasping, both surfaces white-tomentose. Heads woolly at the base, 1.5–3 mm diam., in axillary clusters forming a leafy panicle, subtended by several ovate to obovate hyaline bracts. Flowers in spring and early summer. Grows in disturbed areas.
Introduced, cool-season, annual, low-growing, hairless legume, with prostrate to ascending stems. Leaves have 3 leaflets, each oblong to ovate and 8-16 mm long. The central leaflet has a distinctly longer stalk than the lateral ones. Flowerheads are dense, rounded clusters (8-15 mm long) of 20-40 yellow, inflated, pea-like flowers. Pods are oblong and 1-2 mm long. Flowering is in spring. A native of Europe, the Mediterranean and West Asia, it is found in pastures, woodlands and roadsides; although more common on roadsides than in grazed pastures. Usually found on coarse-textured low-fertility soils where groundcover is reduced. Generally only found at low densities in pastures. Provides good quality feed, but it is not very productive.
Native, perennial, prostrate succulent herb with creeping stems to 2 m long that root at the nodes where they touch the ground. Leaves are 3-sided 3.5–10 cm long, straight or slightly incurved and dull blue-green when young; often becoming pinkish-red when old. Found on coastal sand dunes, usually very close to the sea.

Leaves are narrow-lanceolate to narrow-obovate to spathulate, 1.5–3 cm long, 2–8 mm wide, apex obtuse to acute and mucronate, base slightly stem-clasping, both surfaces white-tomentose. Heads woolly at the base, 1.5–3 mm diam., in axillary clusters forming a leafy panicle, subtended by several ovate to obovate hyaline bracts. Flowers in spring and early summer. Grows in disturbed areas.
Introduced warm-season perennial, prostrate, variously hairy herb, with a swollen woody rootstock; nodes are hairy. Leaves are both radical and cauline; radical leaves are shed early; leaves are opposite, ovate to spathulate, to 20 mm long, to 8 mm wide and hairy when young. Flowerheads are spike-like, woolly, usually about 10-flowered (1–30) and often crowded towards the ends of branches. Flowers are bisexual, sessile, with a bract and a bracteole. Perianths are 5-lobed, membranous, whitish and about 2 mm long. Flowers in summer and autumn. Usually grows in mown disturbed areas, roadsides, caravan parks etc.
Dwarf prostrate and creeping evergreen shrublets rarely more than 6 inches high. The exquisite bell-shaped flowers (mid-spring) are crimson to scarlet and quite large in scale with the attractive foliage. A beautiful alpine species with heavily-veined, rounded to ovate foliage. Requires excellent drainage and a cool but open position such as a north-facing slope. Found in dense alpine thickets and on boulders and cliffs from 10,000 to 15,000 ft. in NE Burma, E Arunachal Pradesh and SW China (NW Yunnan and SE Tibet).

Vaccinium dentatum Smith var. lanceolatum (A. Gray) Skottsberg (O`ahu type)
Hawaiian names: `ōhelo
Family: Ericaceae - the heath family
Habit: a prostrate shrub.
Endemic to O`ahu (Wai`anae and Ko`olau Mountains).
I do not know what the lower and upper limits of V. dentatum var. lanceolatum are along this ridge. There is some growing at the Poamoho Trail trailhead, and it appears that for at least 1.8 kilometers past the trailhead the only Vacciniums present are V. dentatum var. lanceolatum, V. calycinum var. calycinum, and V. calycinum var. calycinum x V. dentatum var. lanceolatum hybrids. Vaccinium dentatum var. dentatum is apparently restricted to the wettest areas along or near the Ko`olau summit ridge.

Creeping Oregon Grape along FR-263 west of Gallinas, San Miguel Co., NM, 150525. Mahonia repens. Eudicots: Ranunculales: Berberidaceae. AKA (creeping mahonia, creeping barberry, or prostrate barberry)
Lying prostrate on the marble of St. Peter's. This shows our total reliance on God's grace for our future ministry.

Leaves are both radical and cauline; radical leaves are shed early; leaves are opposite, ovate to spathulate, to 20 mm long, to 8 mm wide and hairy when young. Flowerheads are spike-like, woolly, usually about 10-flowered (1–30) and often crowded towards the ends of branches. Flowers are bisexual, sessile, with a bract and a bracteole. Perianths are 5-lobed, membranous, whitish and about 2 mm long. Flowers in summer and autumn. Usually grows in mown disturbed areas, roadsides, caravan parks etc.
The Archangel Michael at the Day of Judgment stands on a prostrate demon and holds a flaming sword raised in his right hand. He is represented winged, wearing a tunic with short sleeves, a breastplate, a scarf draped over his shoulder and gathered on his hip, a "lorica," and buskins adorned with winged cherub heads. The demon has wings and a serpentine tail; its head, arms, and torso are human. It grimaces in pain, exposing its teeth.
There are several comparable examples of this type of St. Michael although none have been identified with tis type of European-style marble base. On the basis of a document related to the export of a stylistically similar figure of St. Michael (now in the Convent of St. Stephen [San Esteban] in Salamanca) from the Philippines to Spain in 1686, the present piece can be dated to ca. 1670-1690.
Limited use has been made of gilding, now dark brown for the most part, and of polychromy. The Archangel's eyebrows and pupils are brown, his lips red, and his long hair gilded. The wing feathers are delineated in gilding as are the scroll motifs of the tunic and "lorica" and the stripes, zigzag lines, rosettes, and scrolls which adorn the scarf and buskins. A red sun and gold moon and stars adorn the breastplate. His collar is bordered with ovals and lozenges in red and black on a gold band, and a raised faceted gem is represented in its center. The demon's hair is black, its eyebrows and pupils are dark brown, and his lips and a wound in its abdomen are red.
A number of pieces of ivory have been employed in creating this statue. The Archangel's head and torso are carved from a single tusk, the arms are in two segments, and the legs each of a single piece. Separate sections have been doweled to the torso to constitute the "lorica" skirt. Each wing is formed by three sheets of ivory held together by cross-members. The head and torso of the demon are carved from a single, solid tusk, with separate pieces for the tail and limbs.
Numerous, often crude, repairs have been made to the statue, which has experienced breaks and losses. Among the losses are the Archangel's scales for weighing souls and the demon's right arm and wing, as well as a peg intended to fit a hole drilled into the demon's head.
The statue of the Archangel is held upright by two iron rods that extend from holes in the soles of his feet through the demon's torso into a gray marble base carved with a depiction of Hell. Amid the flames are two satyrs, one of which has lost its head. The marble base, which differs stylistically from the rest of the piece, appears to have been carved by a European artist.
Other ivory figures dated to the 17th and 18th centuries now in the Walters that are thought to have been carved in the Philippines: 71.358, 71.390, 71.392, 71.405, 71.406, 71.412, 71.322, 71.324, 71.333. See R. Randall, Masterpieces of Ivory from the Walters Art Gallery (1985) for more information and illustrations of some of these.

Linaria is a genus of about 100 species of herbaceous annuals and perennials that was traditionally placed in the figwort family Scrophulariaceae. Due to new genetic research, it has now been placed in the vastly expanded family Plantaginaceae. The genus is native to temperate regions of Europe, northern Africa and Asia, with the highest species diversity in the Mediterranean region.
The members of this genus are known in English as toadflax, a name shared with several related genera. The scientific name means "resembling Linum" (flax), which the foliage of some species superficially resembles.
Native cool-season perennial prostrate to sprawling shrub with stems to 60 cm long. Leaves are usually oppositely arranged and 10-70 mm long x 5-25 mm wide; the upper surface has a network of veins and is darker than the lower surface, Stipules are bristly and 2-3 mm long. Flowerheads are terminal or axillary racemes. Flowers are about 10 mm long, pea-shaped and have 5 sepals and petals. Sepals are typically recurved. Petals are yellow to orange, often with reddish brown markings. Flowers in spring. Found in forests from the coast to the eastern edge of the tablelands.
Leptecophylla tameiameiae (Chamisso and Schlechtendahl) C. M. Weiller, a prostrate form.
Synonym: Styphelia tameiameiae (Chamisso and Schlechtendahl) F. Mueller
Hawaiian names: pūkiawe, `a`ali`i mahu, kānehoa, kāwa`u, maiele, puakiawe, pūpūkiawe
Family: Ericaceae (the heath family), formerly in the family Epacridaceae
This is a prostrate form of Leptecophylla tameiameiae that occurs in the wettest parts of the Ko`olau Mountains in windswept vegetation on exposed ridges that is similar to the vegetation found in Hawaiian montane bogs. The prostrate form of the Ko`olau Mountains may be identical to the prostrate plants of L. tameiameiae that occur in the montane bogs of Kaua`i, Moloka`i, and Maui.
