Eriogonum arborescens
Eriogonums belong to the family Polygonaceae, and they are commonly known as "wild buckwheat". California has many species, including Eriogonum arborescens, from the Channel Islands off the coast of Southern California. Many species in the genus are more herbaceous than woody, but this one is a bush up to 5 feet tall (1.5 m). It looks like a miniature tree, as is implied by its name "arborescens". It produces many clusters of tiny flowers over a long period in the summer and fall, and these are initially pale pink. Later in the season, the brown-tinged old flowers combine with the pink new ones to give a salmon-tinged effect, as seen in the photo. A great species for a dry-summer landscape!

#2195 - Rumex obtusifolius - Broad-leaved Dock
AKA bitter dock, , bluntleaf dock, dock leaf, dockens or butter dock. Named Rumex obtusifolius by Carl Linnaeus, and surprsingly has kept it, compared to some of the taxonomic nightmares I've described before. Rumex was Pliny's name for sorrel, while obtusifolius means 'obtuse-leaved'.
A highly invasive weed found on all temperate continents. In its native range in Europe the young leaves have been used in salads, or as a substitute in stuffed graped leaves, or squeezed to treat nettle stings. The seeds can be ground into flour and the roots was boiled to treat boils.

Sobre a Pau-formiga ou Pau-de-novato
Devido à sua copa colunar e beleza no florescimento e frutificação, é amplamente usada no paisagismo, sendo útil para arborização de ruas estreitas desprovidas de rede eléctrica.
A Pau-formiga é muito útil também para recuperação de florestas ciliares.
O nome popular desta espécie (Pau-formiga) é proveniente de sua associação com formigas no ambiente natural, que constroem seus ninhos no tronco oco, protegendo assim as plantas de outros predadores.
Pau-formiga atinge tamanho padrão de comercialização em menos de 2 anos.
Pau-formiga deve ser cultivado sob sol pleno, em solo fértil, profundo, húmido, enriquecido com matéria orgânica e irrigado regularmente.
A floração ocorre no inverno e início da primavera e é bastante durável.
De tronco oco e abrigo para formigas (daí a razão do nome comum), o pau-formiga pode chegar a 20 metros de altura.
As podas são desaconselhadas por descaracterizarem a copa.
Transplantar quando atingir 10 cm de altura para sacos de cultivo com substrato semelhante ao do plantio da muda, deixando em cultivo protegido, realizando regas periódicas.
Uso medicinal: A casca é utilizada contra disenteria.
Outros usos: A espécie é ornamental devido a sua bela floração e formato da copa, sendo empregada no paisagismo. A casca contém tanino que pode ser aplicado em diferentes usos.

Eriogonum crocatum
California is home to many species of Eriogonum, plant in the Polygonaceae commonly known as buckwheats or wild buckwheats. These range from tiny ground-hugging alpine species to substantial shrubs, but in all cases they have clusters of tiny flowers. The plant pictured is Eriogonum crocatum, known as the saffron buckwheat. It features a striking combination of felted white leaves and greenish-yellow flowers, and it is native to Ventura County and western Los Angeles County in southern California.

黄実千両|黄実仙蓼[Kiminosenryō]
Sarcandra glabra f. flava
黄[Ki] : Yellow

The normal Senryō produces red fruits.
昔は盲人に特別の位を与えたものである。よく何市、何市とあるが、あれも市名といって、盲人の位の一つで、一番下である。しかし何といっても一番よいのは撿挍であって、昔は撿挍になるには千両の金を納めなければならなかった。その代り十万石の大名に相当する資格が与えられていた。その次は勾当で、これは撿挍の半分位の資格であった。

In the past, (statesmen) gave special statuses to blind people. It is often said "So-and-so-ichi" "So-and-so-ichi," and this is called Ichina, which is one of the statuses of blind people, the lowest. After all, the best is Kengyō, and in the old days, to become Kengyō, they had to pay one thousand ryō. Instead, they were qualified to the equivalent of a ten thousand koku feudal lord. The next position is Kōtō, which was about half as qualified as Kengyō.
