CASTELLANO
La manzanilla común (Chamaemelum nobile, sin. Anthemis nobilis) es una hierba perenne, de tallo procumbente de hasta 25 cm de largo, glabro o suavemente pubescente. Forma matas densas. Presenta hojas sésiles, alternas, bi- o tripinnatilobuladas, finamente divididas, con los folíolos lineares. En posición terminal presenta en verano una inflorescencia en forma de capítulo paniculado. Los floros radiales son unos 20, con la lígula blanca, mientras que los del disco son numerosos, hermafroditas, con la corola amarilla, las puntas de las anteras ovadas y el extremo del estilo trunco. La cabeza floral no supera 1 cm de diámetro. Los frutos son aquenios cilíndricos, de más o menos 1 mm de diámetro, algo mayores los radiales. La polinización la realizan himenópteros, pero la planta es capaz de autopolinizarse.
Es nativa de Europa, aunque se ha naturalizado en América. Requiere suelo bien drenado y bastante sol; soporta bien las heladas, la sequía y la escasez de nutrientes, así como condiciones de alcalinidad elevada. Algunos cultivares toleran bien el tránsito y pueden utilizarse como césped de cobertura, en especial 'Treneague'. Es fácil de reproducir por división de matas.
El tallo tierno y las sumidades floridas se usan secos o frescos en infusión, aromática y ligeramente amarga. Se la confunde muchas veces con la manzanilla alemana, Matricaria chamomilla, y no es claro a cual se refieren los autores al mencionar sus propiedades medicinales, pero se la considera digestiva, carminativa, sedante, tónica, vasodilatadora y antiespasmódica. El aceite esencial se emplea en aromaterapia, y la infusión de las flores se aplica al cabello para incrementar su color dorado, en especial en niños.

The Castor Bean is the only member of the genus Ricinus, and it has no immediate relatives.
Castor Bean plants are impressive. Their huge, 5 –11 lobed, star-shaped leaves can reach 3 feet in length. The plant’s coarse texture makes a bold statement in a garden, and contrasts nicely with fine textured companions. They look attractive in groups, or as individual specimen plants. There are numerous varieties of ornamental Castor Beans. Many have been selected for bright red or purple foliage, instead of typically green leaves. Leaf shapes and plant size distinguish other varieties.
Lately, the extremely toxic components of Castor Beans (including the protein ricin and the alkaloid ricinine) have been the subject of much interest. The most notorious is ricin, a deadly poison found in abundance in the seed and in smaller amounts throughout the rest of the plant. Ricin is a water-soluble protein that inhibits protein synthesis in animal cells, leading to their death. Poisoning occurs when animals ingest broken seeds or chew the seeds. Intact seeds may pass through the digestive tract without releasing ricin.
