Jardin Jungle Karlostachys
The Karlostachys Jungle Garden, or ''Jardin Jungle Karlostachys'', is a jungle park and botanical garden in Eu (Seine-Maritime), Eu, in the department of Seine-Maritime in Normandy, in northern France. The garden is owned by Charles Boulanger, who has opened it to the public for guided tours by appointment. The first tours took place in 2012. The garden covers an area of 15 hectares, including both the botanical collection, local vegetation and a small nursery for rare species. It is set in a wild forest environment that includes the preservation of local fauna and flora. Location The garden is located between Normandy and Picardy near Eu, Seine-Maritime, Eu, Le Tréport and Mers-les-Bains, near the Eu forest. It is on the road to Beaumont Farm and the archaeological site of Bois l'Abbé.

Rhododendron
''Rhododendron'' (; : ''rhododendra'') is a very large genus of about 1,024 species of woody plants in the Ericaceae, heath family (Ericaceae). They can be either evergreen or deciduous. Most species are native to eastern Asia and the Himalayan region, but smaller numbers occur elsewhere in Asia, and in North America, Europe and Australia.

Most species have brightly coloured flowers which bloom from late winter through to early summer. Azaleas make up two subgenera of ''Rhododendron''. They are distinguished from "true" rhododendrons by having only five anthers per flower. E ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Insecticide
Insecticides are pesticides used to kill insects. They include ovicides and larvicides used against insect eggs and larvae, respectively. The major use of insecticides is in agriculture, but they are also used in home and garden settings, industrial buildings, for vector control, and control of insect parasites of animals and humans. Acaricides, which kill mites and ticks, are not strictly insecticides, but are usually classified together with insecticides. Some insecticides (including common bug sprays) are effective against other non-insect arthropods as well, such as scorpions, spiders, etc. Insecticides are distinct from insect repellents, which repel but do not kill. Sales In 2016 insecticides were estimated to account for 18% of worldwide pesticide sales. Worldwide sales of insecticides in 2018 were estimated as $ 18.4 billion, of which 25% were neonicotinoids, 17% were pyrethroids, 13% were diamides, and the rest were many other classes which sold for less th ...

Pesticides
Pesticides are substances that are used to pest control, control pest (organism), pests. They include herbicides, insecticides, nematicides, fungicides, and many others (see table). The most common of these are herbicides, which account for approximately 50% of all pesticide use globally. Most pesticides are used as plant protection products (also known as crop protection products), which in general protect plants from weeds, fungi, or insects. In general, a pesticide is a Chemical substance, chemical or biological agent (such as a virus, bacterium, or entomopathogenic fungus, fungus) that deters, incapacitates, kills, or otherwise discourages pests. Target pests can include insects, plant pathogens, weeds, mollusca, molluscs, birds, mammals, fish, nematodes (roundworms), and microbes that destroy property, cause nuisance, spread disease, or are disease Vector (epidemiology), vectors. Along with these benefits, pesticides also have drawbacks, such as Pesticide poisoning, potent ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Hazel Dormouse
The hazel dormouse or common dormouse (''Muscardinus avellanarius'') is a small dormouse species native to Europe and the only living species in the genus ''Muscardinus''. Distribution and habitat The hazel dormouse is native to northern Europe and Asia Minor. It is the only dormouse native to the British Isles, and is therefore often referred to simply as the "dormouse" in British sources, although the edible dormouse, ''Glis glis'', has been accidentally introduced and now has an established population in South East England. Though Ireland has no native dormouse, the hazel dormouse was discovered in County Kildare in 2010, and appears to be spreading rapidly, helped by the prevalence of hedgerows in the Irish countryside. The United Kingdom distribution of the hazel dormouse can be found on theNational Biodiversity Network website A 2020 study found that hazel dormice in Britain have declined by 51% since 2000. Woodland habitat loss and management and a warming climate are see ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Kalopanax
''Kalopanax septemlobus'', common names castor aralia, tree aralia, and prickly castor oil tree, is a deciduous tree in the family Araliaceae, the sole species in the genus ''Kalopanax''. It is native to northeastern Asia, from Sakhalin and Japan west to southwestern China. It is called ''cìqiū'' () in Chinese, ''eumnamu'' () in Korean, and ''harigiri'' (; ) in Japanese. Description The tree grows to tall, with a trunk up to diameter. The stems are often spiny, with stout spines up to long. The leaves are alternate, in appearance similar to a large ''Fatsia'' or ''Liquidambar'' (sweetgum) leaf, across, palmately lobed with five or seven lobes, each lobe with a finely toothed margin. The leaf lobes vary greatly in shape, from shallow lobes to cut nearly to the leaf base. Trees with deeply lobed leaves were formerly distinguished as ''K. septemlobus'' var. ''maximowiczii'', but the variation is continuous and not correlated with geography, so it is no longer regarded as dist ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Liriodendron
''Liriodendron'' () is a genus of two species of characteristically large trees, deciduous tree, deciduous over most of their populations, in the magnolia family (biology), family (Magnoliaceae). These trees are widely known by the common name tulip tree or tuliptree for their large flowers superficially resembling tulips. It is sometimes referred to as tulip poplar or yellow poplar, and the wood simply as "poplar", although not closely related to the true Populus, poplars. Other common names include canoewood, saddle-leaf tree, and white wood. The two extant taxon, extant species are ''Liriodendron tulipifera'', native plant, native to eastern North America, and ''Liriodendron chinense'', native to China and Vietnam. Both species often grow to great size; the North American species may reach as much as in height. The North American species is commonly used horticulture, horticulturally, the Chinese species is increasing in cultivation, and Hybrid (biology)#Hybrid plants, hybr ...

Epimedium
''Epimedium'', also known as barrenwort, bishop's hat, fairy wings, horny goat weed, or yin yang huo (), is a genus of flowering plants in the family Berberidaceae. The majority of the species are endemic to China, with smaller numbers elsewhere in Asia, and a few in the Mediterranean region. ''Epimedium'' species are deciduous or evergreen hardy perennials. The majority have four-parted "spider-like" flowers in spring. The species used as a dietary supplement is '' Epimedium grandiflorum''. It contains icariin, which is a weak PDE5 inhibitor, ''in vitro''. Its clinical effects are unknown. While there is little clinical evidence to date, as sildenafil, vardenafil, and tadalafil – sold under the brand names Viagra, Levitra and Cialis – are all based on (stronger) PDE5 inhibitory action, it is thought to have erectogenic properties and is found in some men's sexual health supplements. Description Species of ''Epimedium'' are herbaceous perennials, growing from an und ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Fargesia
''Fargesia'' is a genus of flowering plants in the Poaceae, grass family. These bamboos are native primarily to China, with a few species in Vietnam and in the eastern Himalayas. Some species are cultivated as ornamentals, with common names including umbrella bamboo and fountain bamboo. They are medium to small mountain clumping bamboos, native plant, native to Alpine climate, alpine conifer forests of East Asia, from China south to Vietnam and west to the eastern slopes of the Himalayas. They are known in Chinese as ''jian zhu'' (), meaning "arrow bamboo". The scientific name was given in honour of the French missionary and amateur botanist Père Paul Guillaume Farges (1844–1912). Fargesias are some of the world's hardiest bamboos, but they do not spread vigorously. Common bamboos in the genus ''Fargesia'' are essential foods for giant pandas, and large-scale flowering of its species has had a devastating effect on panda populations. Giant panda habitat will therefore need ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
