Pennyroyal (Poejo) is a herbaceous, aromatic and medicinal plant, related to mint (Mentha spicata) and originating in the Mediterranean region and the Middle East.
The leaves are small, opposite, delicate, hairy, with jagged margins and green in color.
It blooms in summer and autumn, displaying globose and dense inflorescences, which look like small “pompoms”, with pink or purplish flowers, with long stamens.
Pennyroyal has been cultivated since antiquity for its aromatic and medicinal qualities. It was customary to burn the herb to repel fleas and other insects from homes, hence the name pulegium, from Latin, which derives from pulex, a reference to "fleas".
In addition to being a repellent, pennyroyal is also used to purify water, perfume the environment and season drinks and foods, such as teas, liqueurs, wines, salads, stews, roasts, puddings, etc.
Its leaves have a high concentration of aromatic essential oils, with many properties. Greeks and Romans already consumed the herb in the form of teas and infusions, with medicinal purposes.

Osmia bicornis, synonym Osmia rufa, is a species of mason bee, and is known as the red mason bee due to its covering of dense gingery hair. It is a solitary bee that nests in holes or stems and is polylectic, meaning it forages pollen from various different flowering plants. These bees can be seen aggregating together and nests in preexisting hollows, choosing not to excavate their own. These bees are not aggressive; they will only sting if handled very roughly and are safe to be closely observed by children. Females only mate once, usually with closely related males. Further, females can determine the sex ratio of their offspring based on their body size, where larger females will invest more in diploid females eggs than small bees. These bees also have trichromatic colour vision and are important pollinators in agriculture.
According to Wikipedia, Linnaea × grandiflora, synonym Abelia × grandiflora, is a hybrid species of flowering plant in the honeysuckle family Caprifoliaceae, raised by hybridising L. chinensis with L. uniflora.
It is a deciduous or semi-evergreen multistemmed shrub with rounded, spreading, or gracefully arching branches to 1 to 1.8 m (3.3 to 5.9 ft) tall. The leaves are ovate, glossy, dark green, and 2–6 cm (0.8–2.4 in) long. The fragrant flowers are produced in clusters, white, tinged pink, bell-shaped, to 2 cm long. Unlike most flowering shrubs in cultivation, the species blooms from late summer to well into the autumn.

Araucaria heterophylla (synonym A. excelsa) is a vascular plant in the ancient and now disjointly distributed conifer family Araucariaceae. As its vernacular name Norfolk Island pine (or ) implies, the tree is endemic to Norfolk Island, a small island in the Pacific Ocean between New Zealand and New Caledonia, about 1440 km east of Sydney, Australia. The genus Araucaria occurs across the South Pacific, especially concentrated in New Caledonia (about 700 km due north of Norfolk Island) where 13 closely related and similar-appearing species are found. It is sometimes called a star pine, Polynesian pine, triangle tree or living Christmas tree, due to its symmetrical shape as a sapling, although it is not a true pine. It is a slow growing tree, reaching a height of 50–65 m, with straight vertical trunks and symmetrical branches, even in the face of incessant onshore winds that can contort most other species. From the straight trunk, it emits its branches almost horizontal or slightly oblique, in number of five, forming floors; the plane of each floor is a perfect pentagon. The distinctive appearance of this tree, with its widely spaced branches and symmetrical, triangular outline, has made it a popular cultivated species, either as a single tree or in avenues. 21137
From Middle English feith, from Old French feid, from Latin fides, faith, trust. Used in English since the 12th Century.

2. A feeling or belief, that something is true, real, or will happen.
Have faith that the criminal justice system will avenge the murder.
3. A trust in the intentions or abilities of a person or object.
I have faith in the goodness of my fellow man.

This tender fragile leaf stays as an synonym for Fragility. Not just in nature we often see something or someone that becomes very fragile to us!
Fragile refers to something or someone that is fragile and delicate. Fragile comes from the Latin fragilis, fragile. A glass can be very fragile, that is, very thin, easily broken. The psyche and constitution can also be very fragile, someone recovering after a grief, a disappointment, a mental crisis or a mental illness will be quite fragile for a while. For this reason, we should be considerate of people who are fragile, delicate and tender, because these qualities make a person a compassionate, humane and valuable fellow human being.

Zwiebelfische nennen Schriftsetzer und Buchdrucker einzelne Buchstaben innerhalb eines Textes aus einer anderen Schrift oder einem anderen Schriftschnitt, beispielsweise ein fettes e in einem in normaler Stärke gesetzten Wort. Der Begriff stammt aus dem Bleisatz (Handsatz).
Der Begriff soll auf den Zwiebelfisch Alburnus lucidus zurückgehen, der als minderwertiger Fisch galt und deshalb in der Frühneuzeit zum Synonym für minderwertige Ware wurde. Eine unaufmerksam arbeitende Setzerei wurde analog zu den wenig angesehenen Marktständen der Zwiebelfischhändler auch als Zwiebelfischbude bezeichnet.
Typesetters and book printers call onion fish individual letters within a text from a different font or a different font style, for example a bold e in a word with normal weight. The term comes from lead type (hand type).
The term is said to go back to the onion fish Alburnus lucidus, which was considered an inferior fish and therefore became a synonym for inferior goods in the early modern period. An inattentive composer was also called an onion fish stall, analogous to the little-regarded market stalls of the onion fish traders.

Hylotelephium telephium (synonym Sedum telephium), known as orpine, livelong, frog's-stomach, harping Johnny, life-everlasting, live-forever, midsummer-men, Orphan John and witch's moneybags, is a succulent perennial groundcover of the family Crassulaceae native to Eurasia. The flowers are held in dense heads and can be reddish or yellowish-white. A number of cultivars, often with purplish leaves, are grown in gardens as well as hybrids between this species and the related Hylotelephium spectabile (iceplant), especially the popular 'Herbstfreude' ('Autumn Joy'). Occasionally garden plants may escape and naturalise as has happened in parts of North America.

Synonym : Rhacophorus robinsonii
Malay name: Katak Terbang Robinson
Also known as Robinson's Tree Frog or Robinson's Treefrog
Found it a few days ago while taking a group of beginners out on a herping trip, I was pretty stoke to see this species.
Habitat: Subtropical or tropical moist lowland forests and intermittent freshwater marshes.
Distribution: Peninsular Malaysia and southern Thailand.
Description: Leptomantis harrissoni is of medium size, with the female (up to 70 mm) larger than the male (> 50 mm). It inhabits lowland rainforests. It is a brown, rather unspectacular frog with fully developed dark hand webbing. The snout is angular and pointed. There are normally a few white dots on its snout and cheek.
Like all Rhacophorus family members, little is known about them, probably because it spends most of its life high up in the trees canopy. But occasionally it will descend lower to about 1-2 m (in this current sighting was about 2m) from ground level.
Reproduction: Eggs are deposited in a foam nest that is attached to the bark above a tree hole.
Threat: Habitat loss.

Quercus rubra. Synonym: Quercus borealis, Quercus borealis var. maxima, Дуб канадский, Дуб остролистный.
A handsome shade tree with good form and dense foliage and is a desirable planting for lawns, parks and other large areas. Russet red to bright red leaves in fall but color is not dependable every year. Generally a durable and long-lived tree, mature at 200-300 years. Tolerant of urban conditions. Produces a good crop of acorns every 2-5 years. Cultivars available.
Very high wildlife value. Provides food for many songbirds, ground birds and mammals including deer, raccoons, squirrels and chipmunks. Attracts butterflies and hummingbirds. A remarkably long list of butterfly larvae feed on the leaves.
Продолжительность жизни около 200 лет.
Листья блестящие, глубоковыемчатые, с 4-5 заостренными лопастями с каждой стороны листа, крупные, достигающие в размере до 25 см. При распускании листья красноватые, летом цвет варьируется между зеленым и темно-зеленым, а осенью листья становятся от ало-красного до буро-коричневого оттенка. Зацветает рано, цветы появляются на ветках в момент распускания листьев. После цветения завязываются желуди, округлой формы (в диаметре до 2 см) красно-коричневого окраса, которые созревают на молодых деревьях только к осени второго года.
Цветы зеленые, плоские, округлые, 0.4 см Время цветения с конца мая - до начала июня. Зацветает примерно в 20-ти летнем возрасте.
Russula rosea (synonym Russula lepida), known as the rosy russula, is a north temperate, commonly found mushroom of the large "brittlegill" genus Russula. The cap is convex when young, later flat, mostly bright cinnabar to carmine red; often with yellow spots and up to 10 cm in diameter. The gills are pale straw-yellow, brittle, and occasionally with a red edge at the rim of the cap. The spores are pale-cream. The stem is usually flushed carmine, but can be pure white. The flesh is hard and bitter-tasting; some consider it edible, others inedible.
Synonym: Nymphaea caerulea. But not all varieties of N. nouchali are blue. Some surrounding pads here belong to N. lotus. To add to the confusion, sources are contradictory as to whether N. nouchali is indigenous to Africa or only to Asia. Although it certainly occurs in southern Africa.

Solitude is not a synonym for Loneliness. Psychology Today contrasts the two: “Loneliness is marked by a sense of isolation. Solitude, on the other hand, is a state of being alone without being lonely and can lead to self-awareness.” In solitude we sit with ourselves, moving out of the social spotlight and into a mode where we can pay close attention to our internal energy and insights. It’s a time when our focus is on getting centered and in sync with ourselves, not in keeping up with the chaos of the world.
Tranquility should be listed in dictionaries as a synonym for 'brook'. Never once have I felt distraught in the presence of a brook, even my life at times insisted on distraction and distress. A brook is nature's whisperer of wisdom—one simply listens. | Rocky Mountain National Park, Colorado, USA.

Magpie - Pica Pica......
The Eurasian magpie or common magpie (Pica pica) is a resident breeding bird throughout northern part of Eurasian continent. It is one of several birds in the crow family designated magpies, and belongs to the Holarctic radiation of "monochrome" magpies. In Europe, "magpie" is used by English speakers as a synonym for the European magpie: the only other magpie in Europe is the Iberian magpie (Cyanopica cooki), which is limited to the Iberian Peninsula.
The Eurasian magpie is one of the most intelligent birds, and it is believed to be one of the most intelligent of all non-human animals. The expansion of its nidopallium is approximately the same in its relative size as the brain of chimpanzees, orangutans and humans.
Magpies were originally known as simply "pies". This comes from a proto-Indoeuropean root meaning "pointed", in reference to either the beak or the tail. The prefix "mag" dates from the 16th century and comes from the short form of the given name Margaret, which was once used to mean women in general (as Joe or Jack is used for men today); the pie's call was considered to sound like the idle chattering of a woman, and so it came to be called the "Mag pie". "Pie" as a term for the bird dates to the 13th century, and the word "pied", first recorded in 1552, became applied to other birds that resembled the magpie in having black-and-white plumage.
The range of the magpie extends across temperate Eurasia from Spain and Ireland in the west to the Kamchatka Peninsula. The species has been introduced in Japan on the island of Kyushu.
The preferred habit is open countryside with scattered trees and magpies are normally absent from treeless areas and dense forests. They sometimes breed at high densities in suburban settings such as parks and gardens. They can often be found close to the centre of cities.
Magpies are normally sedentary and spend winters close to their nesting territories but birds living near the northern limit of their range in Sweden, Finland and Russia can move south in harsh weather.
A study conducted near Sheffield in Britain, using birds with coloured rings on their legs, found that only 22% of fledglings survived their first year. For subsequent years, the survival rate for the adult birds was 69%, implying that for those birds that survive the first year, the average total lifespan was 3.7 years. The maximum age recorded for a magpie is 21 years and 8 months for a bird from near Coventry in England that was ringed in 1925 and shot in 1947.
The Eurasian magpie is believed not only to be among the most intelligent of birds but among the most intelligent of all animals. Along with the jackdaw, the Eurasian magpie's nidopallium is approximately the same relative size as those in chimpanzees and humans, significantly larger than the gibbon's. Like other corvids, such as ravens and crows, their total brain-to-body mass ratio is equal to most great apes and cetaceans. A 2004 review suggests that the intelligence of the corvid family to which the Eurasian magpie belongs is equivalent to that of great apes (chimpanzees, orangutans, and gorillas) in terms of social cognition, causal reasoning, flexibility, imagination and prospection.
Magpies have been observed engaging in elaborate social rituals, possibly including the expression of grief. Mirror self-recognition has been demonstrated in European magpies, making them one of only a few species to possess this capability.The cognitive abilities of the Eurasian magpie are regarded as evidence that intelligence evolved independently in both corvids and primates. This is indicated by tool use, an ability to hide and store food across seasons, episodic memory, using their own experience to predict the behavior of conspecifics. Another behaviour exhibiting intelligence is cutting their food in correctly sized proportions for the size of their young. In captivity, magpies have been observed counting up to get food, imitating human voices, and regularly using tools to clean their own cages.[citation needed] In the wild, they organise themselves into gangs and use complex strategies hunting other birds and when confronted by predators.
In Europe, magpies have been historically demonized by humans, mainly as a result of superstition and myth. The bird has found itself in this situation mainly by association, says Steve Roud: Large blackbirds, like crows and ravens, are viewed as evil in British folklore and white birds are viewed as good". In European folklore, the magpie is associated with a number of superstitions surrounding its reputation as an omen of ill fortune. In the 19th century book, A Guide to the Scientific Knowledge of Things Familiar, a proverb concerning magpies is recited: A single magpie in spring, foul weather will bring The book further explains that this superstition arises from the habits of pairs of magpies to forage together only when the weather is fine. In Scotland, a magpie near the window of the house is said to foretell death. An English tradition holds that a single magpie be greeted with a salutation in order to ward off the bad luck it may bring. A greeting might take the form of saying the words ‘Good morning, Mr Magpie, how are Mrs Magpie and all the other little magpies?’
