Genus Hedeoma is a group of flowering plants under the family Lamiaceae (mint family), primarily found in North America. These plants are characterized by their small size, opposite leaves, and clusters of small flowers. The essential oils derived from Hedeoma species such as Hedeoma pulegioides and Hedeoma drummondii are used in traditional medicine and for their aromatic properties.

The earth-nut pea, also known as Lathyrus tuberosus, is a species of flowering plant in the legume family, native to Europe and western Asia. It produces tubers that are edible and consumed in some cultures, comparable to a nutty flavour. The plant can grow in various conditions and can adapt well to different environments. The tubers that develop from the plant are harvested in autumn and were historically used as food during periods of famine in Europe.

Silky-haired refers to hair that is smooth, glossy, and soft in texture, resembling or having the texture of silk. It is most often used to describe the fur or hair of animals or the hair of humans.

a decrease in size of an organ caused by disease or disuse

resembling a worm; long and thin and cylindrical

Chloroxylon is a genus of flowering plants within the Rutaceae family. It is characterized by hard, durable timber that is often used in construction or furniture making. There are three species within this genus, with Chloroxylon swietenia being the most widespread, commonly known as East Indian satinwood, Ceylon satinwood, or Sri Lanka satinwood. They are mostly found in dry, deciduous forests of India and Sri Lanka.

Family Exocoetidae, commonly known as flying fish, is a family of marine fish that possess enlarged pectoral fins which allow them to glide or fly above the water surface to escape from predators. They are found in all the major oceans, particularly in warm tropical and subtropical waters. The family comprises about 64 species grouped into seven to nine genera. They have a streamlined appearance, are covered with large, rigid, scale plates and mainly feed on plankton.

Lilium michiganense is a species of true lily commonly referred to as the Michigan lily. It is a wildflower present in prairie habitats in the Great Lakes and Upper Mississippi Valley regions of the United States and Canada, from South Dakota through Ontario to New York, south to Georgia and Oklahoma.Growing to 5 ft (1.5 m) tall by 2 ft (0.61 m) broad, Lilium michiganense is a bulbous herbaceous perennial with showy flowers in summer. The flowers are orange with dark brown spots and acutely recurved petals. This plant is widely cultivated as an ornamental. The Michigan lily is often confused with the Turks cap lily (Lilium superbum) and with a naturalized Asian tiger lily Lilium lancifolium. The leaf arrangement is typically whorled, but sometimes alternate just below the inflorescence and at the very base of stem.

A bridle road, also known as bridle path or bridleway, is a path or trail designed and designated mainly for use by horseback riders. These roads are typically either in rural or semi-rural areas or within city parks. They may also be used by pedestrians, cyclists, or other non-motorized traffic. However, in some regions, the term may also refer to minor roads or lanes in the countryside that are too narrow and uneven for vehicular traffic.

The walrus (Odobenus rosmarus) is a large pinniped marine mammal with discontinuous distribution about the North Pole in the Arctic Ocean and subarctic seas of the Northern Hemisphere. It is the only extant species in the family Odobenidae and genus Odobenus. This species is subdivided into two subspecies: the Atlantic walrus (O. r. rosmarus), which lives in the Atlantic Ocean, and the Pacific walrus (O. r. divergens), which lives in the Pacific Ocean. Adult walrus are characterised by prominent tusks and whiskers, and considerable bulk: adult males in the Pacific can weigh more than 2,000 kilograms (4,400 pounds) and, among pinnipeds, are exceeded in size only by the two species of elephant seals. Walrus live mostly in shallow waters above the continental shelves, spending significant amounts of their lives on the sea ice looking for benthic bivalve molluscs. Walruses are relatively long-lived, social animals, and are considered to be a keystone species in the Arctic marine regions. The walrus has played a prominent role in the cultures of many indigenous Arctic peoples, who have hunted it for meat, fat, skin, tusks, and bone. During the 19th century and the early 20th century, walrus were widely hunted for their blubber, walrus ivory, and meat. The population of walruses dropped rapidly all around the Arctic region. It has rebounded somewhat since, though the populations of Atlantic and Laptev walruses remain fragmented and at low levels compared with the time before human interference.

A proboscis worm, also known as Nemertea, is a phylum of invertebrates consisting of over 1,000 species. These worms are marine, freshwater, or terrestrial organisms that are characterized primarily by their long, slender bodies and a unique feeding mechanism involving a retractable proboscis, or tubular feeding organ, which they use to capture and immobilize their prey. They range in size from only a few millimeters to several meters long in some species.

Protanopia is a type of color blindness in which the individual has a deficiency in or lack of red cone cells in the eyes, which makes it difficult or impossible to differentiate between colors in the green-yellow-red section of the spectrum. It is a type of red-green color blindness where the red cones in the eye are absent, causing red to appear as black.

A finch, Plectrophenax nivalis, having white plumage; it is widely distributed in northern latitudes.
