''Phlomis fruticosa'', the Jerusalem sage, is a species of flowering plant in the family Lamiaceae, native plant, native to Albania, Croatia, Cyprus, Greece, Italy, Montenegro and Turkey. It is a small evergreen shrub, up to tall by wide. The sage-like, aromatic leaves are oval, 5–10 cm (2-4ins) long, wrinkled, grey-green with white undersides, and covered with fine hairs. Deep yellow, tubular flowers, 3 cm in length, grow in whorls of 20 in short spikes in summer. The Botanical name#Binary name, specific epithet ''fruticosa'' means "shrubby".

Phlomic Acid
Phlomic acid is an unsaturated fatty acid with an allene group, which gives it axial chirality and makes it optically active. Phlomic is related to laballenic acid but has a shorter chain length. Phlomic acid is composed of 20 carbon atoms, with two consecutive double bonds (allene) in the position 7=8=9. The acid has the structural formula CH3-(CH2)10-CH=C=CH-(CH2)5-COOH. This is one of the rare allenic fatty acids found in nature, probably biosynthesized by elongation of laballenic acid. Natural occurrence Phlomisic acid is found in some plant species of the ''Lamiaceae'' family. For example, it is present at 2.9% in the seed oil of '' Phlomoides tuberosa''. Other species of the genera '' Phlomis'', such as deadnettle, hedgenettle, and '' Leonurus'' also contain the compound. Out many species of the genus '' Leucas'' examined, 11 species contained small amounts of phlomisic acid. Only in two species was the content above 1%, and the highest measured content was 1.86%.

Lamiaceae
The Lamiaceae ( ) or Labiatae are a family (biology), family of flowering plants commonly known as the mint, deadnettle, or sage family. Many of the plants are aromatic in all parts and include widely used culinary herbs like basil (herb), basil, mentha, mint, rosemary, Salvia officinalis, sage, savory (herb), savory, marjoram, oregano, Hyssopus officinalis, hyssop, thyme, lavender, and perilla, as well as traditional medicines such as catnip, ''Salvia'', Monarda, bee balm, Leonotis leonurus, wild dagga, and Leonurus japonicus, oriental motherwort. Some species are shrubs, trees (such as teak), or, rarely, vines. Many members of the family are widely cultivated, not only for their aromatic qualities, but also their ease of cultivation, since they are readily propagated by stem cuttings. Besides those grown for their edible leaves, some are grown for decorative foliage. Others are grown for seed, such as ''Salvia hispanica'' (chia), or for their edible tubers, such as ''Plectr ...

Shrub
A shrub or bush is a small to medium-sized perennial woody plant. Unlike herbaceous plants, shrubs have persistent woody stems above the ground. Shrubs can be either deciduous or evergreen. They are distinguished from trees by their multiple Plant stem, stems and shorter height, less than tall. Small shrubs, less than tall are sometimes termed as subshrubs. Many botany, botanical groups have species that are shrubs, and others that are trees and herbaceous plants instead. Some define a shrub as less than and a tree as over 6 m. Others use as the cutoff point for classification. Many trees do not reach this mature height because of hostile, less than ideal growing conditions, and resemble shrub-sized plants. Others in such species have the potential to grow taller in ideal conditions. For longevity, most shrubs are classified between Perennial plant, perennials and trees. Some only last about five years in good conditions. Others, usually larger and more woody, live beyond ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Herbaceous
Herbaceous plants are vascular plants that have no persistent woody stems above ground. This broad category of plants includes many perennials, and nearly all annuals and biennials. Definitions of "herb" and "herbaceous" The fourth edition of the '' Shorter Oxford English Dictionary'' defines "herb" as: # "A plant whose stem does not become woody and persistent (as in a tree or shrub) but remains soft and succulent, and dies (completely or down to the root) after flowering"; # "A (freq. aromatic) plant used for flavouring or scent, in medicine, etc.". (See: Herb) The same dictionary defines "herbaceous" as: # "Of the nature of a herb; esp. not forming a woody stem but dying down to the root each year"; # "BOTANY Resembling a leaf in colour or texture. Opp. scarious". Botanical sources differ from each other on the definition of "herb". For instance, the Hunt Institute for Botanical Documentation includes the condition "when persisting over more than one growing season, the ...

Cylinder (geometry)
A cylinder () has traditionally been a three-dimensional solid, one of the most basic of curvilinear geometric shapes. In elementary geometry, it is considered a prism with a circle as its base. A cylinder may also be defined as an infinite curvilinear surface in various modern branches of geometry and topology. The shift in the basic meaning—solid versus surface (as in a solid ball versus sphere surface)—has created some ambiguity with terminology. The two concepts may be distinguished by referring to solid cylinders and cylindrical surfaces. In the literature the unadorned term "cylinder" could refer to either of these or to an even more specialized object, the '' right circular cylinder''. Types The definitions and results in this section are taken from the 1913 text ''Plane and Solid Geometry'' by George A. Wentworth and David Eugene Smith . A ' is a surface consisting of all the points on all the lines which are parallel to a given line and which pass through ...
