Chaenorhinum Villosum
''Chaenorhinum'' is a genus of flowering plants. It includes 27 species of annual and perennial herbs native to the Mediterranean Basin, Europe, and western Asia to the western Himalayas. They thrive in dry stony areas and scree. They are closely related to snapdragons. The leaves are linear to oblong or rounded, opposite at the base. The flowers resemble snapdragons, being typically floral symmetry, zygomorphic, hooded, lobed and spurred. They are borne in terminal racemes or singly in the leaf axils of the branching stems. Species 27 species are accepted. *''Chaenorhinum calycinum'' *''Chaenorhinum cryptarum'' *''Chaenorhinum flexuosum'' *''Chaenorhinum foroughii'' *''Chaenorhinum gamezii'' *''Chaenorhinum glareosum'' *''Chaenorhinum grandiflorum'' *''Chaenorhinum grossecostatum'' *''Chaenorhinum huber-morathii'' *''Chaenorhinum johnstonii'' *''Chaenorhinum litorale'' *''Chaenorhinum macropodum'' *''Chaenorhinum minus'' – known as "small toadflax" or "dwarf snapdr ...

Augustin Pyramus De Candolle
Augustin Pyramus (or Pyrame) de Candolle (, , ; 4 February 17789 September 1841) was a Swiss people, Swiss botany, botanist. René Louiche Desfontaines launched de Candolle's botanical career by recommending him at a herbarium. Within a couple of years de Candolle had established a new genus, and he went on to document hundreds of plant families and create a new natural plant classification system. Although de Candolle's main focus was botany, he also contributed to related fields such as phytogeography, agronomy, paleontology, medical botany, and economic botany. De Candolle originated the idea of "Nature's war", which influenced Charles Darwin and the principle of natural selection. De Candolle recognized that multiple species may develop similar characteristics that did not appear in a common evolutionary ancestor; a phenomenon now known as convergent evolution. During his work with plants, de Candolle noticed that plant leaf movements follow a near-24-hour cycle in constant ...
