Anthoxanthum Horsfieldii
''Anthoxanthum'' (Latinised Greek for "yellow blossom"), commonly known as hornworts, vernal grasses, or vernalgrasses, is a genus of plants in the grass family. The generic name means 'Yellow flower' in Botanical Latin, referring to the colour of the mature spikelets. The members of ''Anthoxanthum'' are widespread in temperate and subtropical parts of Africa and Eurasia, with a few species in tropical mountains. Some species have become naturalized in Australia, New Zealand, and the Americas. ''Anthoxanthum odoratum'' is a common species of acidic grassland and bogs in northern Europe. All the species reportedly contain the compound coumarin, used medicinally in many countries. The genus ''Hierochloe'' is included in ''Anthoxanthum'' by some recent authors. Others, however, continue to treat them as separate genera, and we provisionally treat them as such here pending further research.Hope, Tom, & Gray, Alan, ''Grasses of the British Isles: BSBI Handbook No. 13'', Botanic ...

Anthoxanthum Odoratum
''Anthoxanthum odoratum'', known as sweet vernal grass, is a short-lived perennial grass that is native to acidic grassland in Eurasia and northern Africa. It is grown as a lawn grass and a house plant, due to its sweet scent, and can also be found on unimproved pastures and meadows. The specific epithet ''odoratum'' is Latin for 'odorous'. Description ''Anthoxanthum odaoratum'' is a short-lived perennial grass that grows in tufts with stems up to tall. The leaves are short and broad, wide, and glabrous to loosely hairy. It flowers in late spring and early summer, i.e. quite early in the season, with flower spikes of long and crowded spikelets of , oblong shaped, which can be quite dark when young. The lower lemmas have projecting awns. The ligules are quite long, up to , blunt, with hairy fringes around the side. The scent is particularly strong when dried, and is due to coumarin, a glycoside, and benzoic acid – it smells like fresh hay with a hint of vanilla. The ...

Hierochloe
''Hierochloe'' is a genus of plants in the grass family known generally as sweetgrass. These are perennial rhizomatous grasses found primarily in temperate and subarctic regions of Eurasia and North America, although some species extend southwards into Australia and Latin America. These erect green grasses are known for their sweet scent. They bear panicle inflorescences with rounded grass grain fruits. Some authors advocate merging the two genera ''Hierochloe'' and '' Anthoxanthum'', though others disagree.Hope, Tom, & Gray, Alan, ''Grasses of the British Isles: BSBI Handbook No. 13'', Botanical Society of the British Isles, 2009, p 312. . ; Species ; formerly included numerous species now regarded as better suited to other genera: '' Anthoxanthum Centotheca ''Centotheca'' is a genus of African, Asian, and Pacific Island plants in the grass family. ; Species * '' Centotheca lappacea'' (L.)

Mediterranean
The Mediterranean Sea is a sea connected to the Atlantic Ocean, surrounded by the Mediterranean Basin and almost completely enclosed by land: on the north by Western Europe, Western and Southern Europe and Anatolia, on the south by North Africa, and on the east by the Levant. The Sea has played a central role in the history of Western civilization. Geological Evidences of the Antiquity of Man, Geological evidence indicates that around 5.9 million years ago, the Mediterranean was cut off from the Atlantic and was partly or completely desiccated over a period of some 600,000 years during the Messinian salinity crisis before being refilled by the Zanclean flood about 5.3 million years ago. The Mediterranean Sea covers an area of about , representing 0.7% of the global ocean surface, but its connection to the Atlantic via the Strait of Gibraltar—the narrow strait that connects the Atlantic Ocean to the Mediterranean Sea and separates the Iberian Peninsula in Europe from ...
