    A beta-blocking agent, also known as a beta-blocker, is a type of medication that is primarily used to manage abnormal heart rhythms, and to protect the heart from a second heart attack after a first one has occurred. Beta-blockers work by blocking the effects of the hormone adrenaline, also known as epinephrine. They do this by preventing adrenaline from binding to beta receptors on the nerves. By blocking the effects of adrenaline, they reduce the heart rate, reduce blood pressure by dilating blood vessels, and reduce the force of the hearts contractions, thus reducing the demand for oxygen and helping the heart to function more efficiently.

    Araucaria bidwillii, commonly known as the bunya pine or bunya-bunya and sometimes referred to as the false monkey puzzle tree, is a large evergreen coniferous tree in the plant family Araucariaceae. It is found naturally in south-east Queensland Australia and two small disjunct populations in north eastern Queenslands World Heritage listed Wet Tropics. There are many old planted specimens in New South Wales, and around the Perth, Western Australia metropolitan area. They can grow up to 30–45 m (98–148 ft). The tallest presently living is one in Bunya Mountains National Park, Queensland which was reported by Robert Van Pelt in January 2003 to be 169 feet (51.5 m) in height.The bunya pine is the last surviving species of the Section Bunya of the genus Araucaria. This section was diverse and widespread during the Mesozoic with some species having cone morphology similar to A. bidwillii, which appeared during the Jurassic. Fossils of Section Bunya are found in South America and Europe. The scientific name honours the botanist John Carne Bidwill, who came across it in 1842 and sent the first specimens to Sir William Hooker in the following year.

    Lamium album, commonly known as white nettle or white dead-nettle, is a flowering plant in the family Lamiaceae. It is native to Europe and Asia but has been introduced to North America. Despite its common name, it is not a true nettle, but gets its name from the similarity of its leaves to those of stinging nettles. The plant produces small, white, two-lipped flowers and is often used in herbal medicine.

    Genus Sertularia refers to a category of marine hydroids in the family Sertulariidae. These are small, usually colonial, marine animals that are physically similar to coral. The creatures within this genus are characterized by elongated, tubular structures that form a colony, typically attached to a hard substrate. The hydroids have a polyp stage and their bodies are encased in a hard outer covering, which is different from most other hydroids.
