61 The broad category of kteuy covers two distinct sub-groupings, "short hairs" and "long hairs". Short hairs (សក់ខ្លី, sak klay) are men who dress and identify as men but have sex with "real" men; they are usually married, and very few of them have sex exclusively with men. Long hairs (សក់វែង, sak veng, also called ស្រីស្រស់, srey sros, "charming girls"), identify and behave as women, and may use hormones and surgery to change their physical sex. They call themselves kteuy, but may feel insulted if outsiders use this term.

They have a small, darker signal area, of almost black purple, and (unlike other Oncocyclus Irises) has no veining. In the middle of the falls, is a narrow row of short hairs called the 'beard', which are white, cream, or yellow, tipped with purple. The larger and paler standards, are obovate or orbicular (oval or round shaped), long and wide. It has a horizontal, style branch that is long and reddish, or brownish-yellow, with red-purple dots or spots.

In the middle of the falls, there is a row of short hairs called the 'beard', which is mostly orange, yellow, or dark-tipped on a cream ground. After the iris has flowered, it produces a seed capsule. The seeds are 3 mm in size and the wind disperses them from the seed capsules. The elaiosome (fleshy coating) of seeds of the iris are rolled by the wind along the soil surface near the plant and collected later by ants.

|
In the centre of the falls is a rounded, dark maroon signal patch which is long and wide. Also, in the middle of the falls, is a row of short hairs called the "beard", which are brownish (rusty brown), purplish, or mottled. The obovate (narrower end at the base) standards are up to long and wide and they have a channeled claw (narrow section of petal closest to the stem). They have a triangular and 6 lobed, long ovary and long stamens, creamy-white anthers.

Cistus clusii is a much branched shrub, up to tall. Its leaves are narrowly linear in shape, usually long by wide, with edges that are turned under (revolute), green on the upper side and densely covered with short hairs on the lower side, producing a whitish appearance. The flowers are arranged in an umbel-like cymes with up to 12 individual flowers, each across with five white petals and three sepals, long. The flower stalks (peduncles and pedicels) and the sepals are covered with long white hairs.
|
|
The falls are obovate to elliptic shaped, and up to long and 5 cm wide. They are more marked than the standards, In the centre of the falls, it has a small elliptical signal patch, 1.5 cm long and 1 cm wide, which is dark purple, or blackish. Also, in the middle of the falls, is a sparse, row of short hairs called the 'beard', which is dark purple, or purple. The paler standards are oval and up to long and 6 cm wide.

Parribacus antarcticus, at the Washington Zoo Parribacus antarcticus can reach a length of about 20 cm in males, but usually they are between 12 and 15 cm.. They are yellowish, mottled with brown and black patches, while rostrum and orbital margin are purplish. They have quite flattened bodies, with dorsal surface covered with tubercles and short hairs. The lateral margin shows large teeth banded with yellow, orange and light purple. In the abdominal somites the transverse groove is wide, with just a few hairs or tubercles.
|
|
They are more densely veined and spotted than the standards. The incurved (bent forwards), standards are long and 6–7 cm wide. In the centre of the falls, is a dark purple, black-brown, to blackish signal patch, also, in the middle of the falls, is a row of short hairs called the 'beard', which are variable, from dark purple, white, or dark tipped yellow. Although, a semi-albino form with a white-yellowish, or golden yellow flower and a dark red signal patch has been recorded.

Nepenthes edwardsiana and N. villosa differ in a number of morphological features. The peristome of N. villosa is more intricate and its pitchers are not elongated above the hip, unlike those of N. edwardsiana. In N. edwardsiana, the apex of the lamina is usually acute, compared to the typically emarginate apex found in N. villosa. As noted by Danser, the indumentum of these species also differs, with N. villosa being densely hirsute throughout and N. edwardsiana having an inconspicuous covering of very short hairs.
|
|
The flowers lean forward and there are between three and eight stem leaves wrapped around the flowering spike. The dorsal sepal and petals form a hood or "galea" over the column with the dorsal sepal having a narrow tip long. The lateral sepals turn downwards, are about the same width as the galea and suddenly taper to narrow tips long. The labellum is thick, fleshy, insect-like, long and about wide with short hairs on the "head" end and longer ones on the sides of the "body".
|
|
In the middle of the falls, also is a row of short hairs called the 'beard', which is made up of long bright yellow, or white hairs, with lateral short purple hairs. The obovate standards, are long and 4–5 cm wide, and a similar colour to the falls. It has style branch that is arched, and pale orange, streaked with purple, or red, according to Brian Mathew. After the iris has flowered, it produces a seed capsule that is about 4 cm long.

Salvia villosa is a herbaceous perennial that is native to the Mexican states of San Luis Potosi and Coahuila, growing at approximately elevation in dry areas that have little or no frost. Salvia villosa is a low mounding plant with a dainty appearance that eventually reaches tall and wide. Blue-green leaves grow up to long, growing upright on the stems and covering the plant. The leaves and their margins are covered with short hairs, giving the plant its specific epithet, villosa, or "hairy".
|
|
In the middle of the falls, also is a row of short hairs called the beard, which is yellow, sometimes purple tipped, The standards are long, and 8 cm wide. They are pale violet, or purple, and have dark veins, but no signal spot. It has light brown, style branches that are strongly keeled, and have lobes (tips) that are a similar colour to the falls. It has a perianth tube that is long, and a 2 cm long ovary, which is sulcate (marked with parallel grooves).

Eyelash yarn is made from a polyester fiber with a furry texture resembling eyelashes. These novelty yarns are made of a thin central ply surrounded by short "hairs". This yarn differs from "fur" type yarn in that it contains evenly spaced threads at intervals between lengths of bare core thread, whereas fur yarns have an abundance of threads covering the entirety of the core thread. Eyelash yarn comes in a wide range of colors, with the "hairs" sometimes being made of multicolored or metallic fibers.

Olearia minor is a small shrub to high, branchlets and leaf underside thickly covered with whitish, cottony hairs. The leaves are elliptic or egg-shaped, long, wide, arranged alternately, rounded or broadly pointed, green upper surface, occasional cobweb appearance when young, smooth or rough with short hairs. The single flowers are densely clustered, in diameter and borne at the end of branches, attached either with or without a stalk. The 7-12 white to pale mauve ligules (petals) long and the flower disc yellow or mauve.
|
|
Often the cluster droops with the flower heads at the end of the cluster turning upwards. Flower stalks are mostly hairless or with some short hairs, to long. Flower heads are attached to flower stalk by fine pointed 8-11 bracts to which are surrounded by 4-7 pale green and sometimes purple tinged at the base supplementary bracts, 1.5 millimetres to 2.5 millimetres which make a cup shape around the base of the involucre. Each stalk is capable of producing 10-15 disc florets.

Muntingia calabura is a shrub or tree up to 12 m tall with spreading branches. The leaves are alternate, distichous, oblong or lanceolate, 4–15 cm long and 1–6 cm wide, with toothed margin and covered in short hairs. The flowers are small (up to 3 cm wide), solitary or in inflorescences of two or three flowers, with five lanceolate sepals, hairy, five obovate white petals, many stamens with yellow anthers, and a smooth ovoid ovary. Fruit, an edible berry, is red at maturity, about 1.5 cm wide.
|
|
The flowers lean forward and are long and wide. The dorsal sepal and petals form a hood or "galea" over the column with the dorsal sepal having a narrow tip long. The lateral sepals turn downwards and are the same width as the galea, deeply dished and suddenly taper to narrow tips long which turn forward and spread apart from each other. The labellum is fleshy, dark brown and insect-like, long, about wide with short hairs on the "head" end and five to eight long hairs on each side of the "body".

Species assigned to the section Dracontium are erect perennial herbs, with large leaves in a rosette at ground level and smaller bracts along a not or rarely shyly branched stem that carries one to four large heads with blue ligulate florets and yellow disc florets that are encircled by an involucre consisting of three worls of approximately equal sized bracts. The cypselas are brown, topped with one row of firm indehyscent pappus hairs and covered in short hairs. There are four species that are all restricted to the Drakensberg Mountains.
|
|
The lower part, that remains merged when the flower, called tube, is open, is 4–5 mm (0.16–0.20 in) long, hairless and somewhat flattened sideways. The middle part (or claws), where the perianth is split lengthwise, is 2–3 mm (0.08–0.12 in) long, with the segment facing the center of the head is hairless, while the other segments have very short hairs. It is hardly differentiated from the upper part (or limbs), which enclosed the pollen presenter in the bud, and is roughly hairy on the outside, losing hairs with age.
|
|
The flowers are erect and there are between three and eight stem leaves wrapped around the flowering stem. The dorsal sepal and petals form a hood or "galea" over the column with the dorsal sepal having an upturned, thread-like tip long. The lateral sepals turn downwards with their outer edges rolled inwards, and have tapered tips. The labellum is fleshy, insect-like, about long and wide and has a thickened "head" end with short hairs and four to eight longer hairs on each side of the "body".
|
|
The pappus consists of many white bristles of about 3 mm (0.12 in) long standing out at an angle and set with protruding teeth from the base to the top. The dry, one-seeded, indehiscent fruits called cypselae are narrowly inverted egg- shaped in outline, about 2½ mm (0.1 in) and 1 mm (0.04 in) wide are dark brown in colour with two light ribs along the edge, are set with broad, very short hairs of 0.1 mm (0.004 in) long, and the surface without further sculpture or few scales.

Pterostylis clavigera is a terrestrial, perennial, deciduous, herb with an underground tuber and a rosette of dull green leaves long and wide with wavy edges. A single bright green and white flower, long and wide is borne on a flowering stem high and covered with short hairs. The dorsal sepal and petals are fused, forming a hood or "galea" over the column, the sepal and petals with a short, nearly horizontal point on the end. The lateral sepals are erect, in close contact with the galea and have thread-like tips long.
|
|
Like other irises, it has 2 pairs of petals, 3 large sepals (outer petals), known as the 'falls' and 3 inner, smaller petals (or tepals), known as the 'standards'. The deflexed falls are spathulate (spoon-like) or oblong shaped, and can be veined, brown-purple on yellow-white background, or with claret (dark red). In the middle of the falls, is a row of short hairs called the 'beard', which is yellow, golden yellow, or orange. The upright standards are elliptical or oblong shaped, although the tips are inclined to each other.
|
|
In the center of each corolla are five anthers merged into a tube, through which the style grows when the floret opens, hoovering up the pollen on its shaft. At the tip of both style branches is a triangular appendage. Around the base of the corolla are many white, toothed, persistent pappus bristles of about long, which become slightly wider towards the top. The eventually dark brown, dry, one-seeded, indehiscent fruits called cypsellae are inverted egg-shaped, about long and wide, the surface slightly scaly, and covered with short hairs.
|
|
Foliage The shoots are brown to gray-brown, smooth, though not as smooth as fir shoots, and finely pubescent with scattered short hairs. The buds are a distinctive narrow conic shape, long, with red-brown bud scales. The leaves are spirally arranged but slightly twisted at the base to be upswept above the shoot, needle-like, long, gray-green to blue-green above with a single broad stomatal patch, and with two whitish stomatal bands below. The male (pollen) cones are long, and are typically restricted to, or more abundant on, lower branches.

In A. leiocalyx the small branches are smooth, sharply angular and usually red-brown, the pulvinus is short and red, and the calyx is hairless, or almost so. A. concurrens, on the other hand, has stouter, angular branchlets which are scaly and usually not distinctly reddish, a long grey-green pulvinus, and calyces with a few stiff short hairs towards their base. Some intermediates or hybrids between the two species occur in northern N.S.W. It is also related to Acacia crassa. Two subspecies are recognised: Acacia leiocalyx (Domin) Pedley subsp.

19th century illustration of Pistia stratiotes Water lettuce in a home aquarium Water lettuce spread over a Field in Kerala Pistia is a perennial monocotyledon with thick, soft leaves that form a rosette. It floats on the surface of the water, its roots hanging submersed beneath floating leaves. The leaves can be up to 14 cm long and have no stem. They are light green, with parallel veins, wavy margins and are covered in short hairs which form basket-like structures which trap air bubbles, increasing the plant's buoyancy.
|
|
As with the species in general, this subspecies grows as an upright, spreading shrub, or occasionally a small tree. It has erect branches that are covered in short hairs when young, but these are lost with age. Flowers are bright red, and the fruit is an oval-shaped achene about 5 mm (0.2 in) long. The leaves of this subspecies are typically over 30 mm (1.2 in) long, and divided into many laciniae: average numbers range from 11 to 35, but individual leaves may have up to 50.

Pelargonium coronopifolium is a diploid with a base chromosome number of 10 (2n=20). It is an upright, herbaceous subshrub with main stems of up to high, that are rough under the level of the leaves because of the remains of old leaves and stipules. A plant may sprout several stems from the underground rootstock. All above-ground parts are covered in short hairs that are pressed stifly against the surface, and fewer glandular hairs, except for the pistils, stamens, staminodes, petals, and the inside of the sepals.

In McAlpine's 1991 as well as Mathis and McAlpine's 2011 keys to Coelopidae genera, This and Rhis formed a couplet. Some of the characteristics distinguishing This from Rhis include: moderately long vibrissal setae at a prominent angle, the presence of two humeral, postpronotum bristles, and a deeply bilobed surstylus on males. Other generic features include a face whose profile is concave and which lacks a medial carina, short setulae on its cheeks. Its arista is shorter than the diameter of its eye, and the segment 6 is covered in short hairs.
|
|
The tree typically grows to a height of with a dark deeply fluted trunk with numerous short horizontal branches and angular branchlets with darker young growth and that have a scattering of short hairs. Like most species of Acacia it has phyllodes rather than true leaves. The evergreen, flat, straight phyllodes are glabrescent with a length of and a width of and are finely striated longitudinally with a more prominent midnerve. When it blooms it produces simple inflorescences that occur singly or in pairs in the axils with cylindrical flower-spikes that are in length.

All sportive lemurs have long legs compared to their arms and trunk and the face is covered with short hairs. According to a review by Henry Ogg Forbes in 1894, the species differs from other sportive lemurs—as its name suggests—by having significantly smaller molar teeth. Forbes also claimed that compared with the weasel sportive lemur, its bony palate is longer and it has a depression at the base of the nasal (nose) region. Like other sportive lemurs, the cecum (beginning of the large intestine) is enlarged, presumably to handle its leaf-rich diet, which is more characteristic of larger primates.
|
|
The large, flowers are in diameter, and come in shades from white, yellow to purple, including pale yellow, gold, brownish-red, reddish purple, blue, and violet. Like other irises, it has 2 pairs of petals, 3 large sepals (outer petals), known as the 'falls' and 3 inner, smaller petals (or tepals), known as the 'standards'. In the middle of the falls, is a row of short hairs called the 'beard', which are yellow, or white, tipped with yellow, a few forms can have a purple beard. After the iris has flowered, it produces a seed capsule which has not been described.

When dry, there is a bend joint between the foot and the shaft so that it points up and the hair is more or less pressed against the cypsela. When wet, the joint stretches and the hairs become erect. The cypsela hairs are mostly of uniform thickness, around long, with a short cleft, but some such as F. anthemidodes have very short hairs, while others such as in the section Lignofelicia have languid, silky hairs of up to long. Hairs at the base of the cypsela and on the vascular bundles are often different from the rest.

A, A. sericeus mostly grows as an upright, spreading shrub but occasionally takes the habit of a small tree up to 5 m (16 ft) tall. It has erect branches that are covered in short hairs when young, but these are lost with age. Leaves may be up to 40 mm (1.6 in) long, and repeatedly divide by threes into from 5 to 50 narrow laciniae, circular in cross-section, with a diameter of less than 0.5 mm (0.02 in). Flowers are red, and occur alone or in small groups, hidden within the foliage at the end of branches.
|
|
The foliage has short hairs on the top and bottom surfaces that give the leaves a somewhat rough feel. The larger leaves are around 12 cm long and over 4 cm wide. In early spring, a thick mound of low- growing foliage is produced; during flowering the lower parts of the stems are generally unbranched and denuded of foliage and the top of the blooming plant might have a few branches that end in inflorescences. The plentiful, fragrant flowers are produced in large, showy, terminal racemes that can be 30+ cm tall and elongate as the flowers of the inflorescence bloom.
|
|
When that tip eventually stops growing, whether because of pruning or flowering, lateral buds take over and grow into other, fully functional, vines. Tomato vines are typically pubescent, meaning covered with fine short hairs. These hairs facilitate the vining process, turning into roots wherever the plant is in contact with the ground and moisture, especially if the vine's connection to its original root has been damaged or severed. Most tomato plants have compound leaves, and are called regular leaf (RL) plants, but some cultivars have simple leaves known as potato leaf (PL) style because of their resemblance to that particular relative.

Diplolaena drummondii is a small, spreading shrub to high with papery, elliptic to oblong-elliptic leaves long, margins flat, wedge shaped at the base, rounded at the apex on a petiole long. The leaf upper surface is covered sparsely with short, soft hairs, the underside sparsely to moderately covered with star-shaped hairs. The flowerheads about in diameter, the outer green to reddish brown bracts are egg-shaped to narrowly triangular, about long, covered in star-shaped, soft, short hairs. The inner bracts are about long, narrowly oblong, covered in soft, short, star-shaped hairs that taper gradually to a point.

The skins were worn with the fur side next to the skin, and by the spring the long hairs would be worn away, leaving the short hairs which were used to make felt. The skins were then carried by the traders in their canoes back to trading posts in Montreal or on Hudson Bay and transported by sailing ship to England or France. There they were processed by a technique involving mercury, and the felt that resulted from the treatment was used to make beaver hats. This coincidentally gave rise to the associated phenomenon of the mad hatter.

|
At least some of these moths are characterized by a short scape and a triangular tuft of short hairs on the tip of the second labial palp segment. These traits are shared by the enigmatic Chelophoba melaina, and Clarke stated that it might be warranted to include this (or even all of Chelophoba) in Ethmiopsis.Clarke (1986) Ponomarenko eventually treated Chelophoba as a synonym of Ethmiopsis in 1997. The species formerly placed in Chelophoba are widely allopatric, with C. aganactes occurring in China and C. melaina only known from Fatu Hiva in the Marquesas Islands of Polynesia.

There are 5 linear, green sepals with the top sepal greatly reduced in size while the other 4 sepals are long and overlap each other. The petals are long and joined at their lower end to form a tube. The petal tube is white, blue, or a shade of pink to lilac- coloured, covered on the outside with short hairs while the inside is filled with spidery hairs. Flowering occurs for most of the year but mainly in spring to mid-summer and is followed by fruits which are dry, oval to cone-shaped, wrinkled and long.
|
|
The outside of the petal tube has a few short hairs but glabrous on the inside except for a narrow ring of hairs around the ovary. There are five lobes on the end of the tube, the lower, central lobe elliptic to almost round, long and wide and much larger than the other lobes which are a similar size and shape to each other. The four stamens are shorter than the tube, the lower pair slightly longer than the upper ones. Flowering occurs in most months and the fruit is oval-shaped and with the sepals remaining attached.
|
|
Like other irises, it has 2 pairs of petals, 3 large sepals (outer petals), known as the 'falls' and 3 inner, smaller petals (or tepals), known as the 'standards'. The falls are oblong, or pointed, and lanceolate shaped, and can be long, and 2.5 cm wide. They have a single dark purple, dark purple-brown, or black signal patch in the centre of the falls.James Cullen, Sabina G. Knees, H. Suzanne Cubey (Editors) In the middle of the falls, it also has a row of short hairs called the 'beard', which are yellow tipped with brown, dark brown, black.

Like other hermit crabs, D. pugilator conceals its soft abdomen inside an empty gastropod mollusc shell; the abdomen is twisted to fit the contours of the shell. The carapace protects the anterior part of the crab and can be up to long; it is squarish in shape, has triangular projections along the front edge, and is clad with hairs on the front two corners. The eyes are on stalks which are about half as long as the width of the carapace. The left chela (claw) is very much larger than the right one, and both claws are covered with short hairs.

The coated variety, covered with a short, flat dense coat represents the original form of the dog, prior to the occurrence of the spontaneous hairless mutation. The hairless variety is completely hairless on the body, with many dogs exhibiting a few short hairs on the top of the head, the toes, and the tip of the tail. Most hairless dogs are black or bluish-gray in color. The allele responsible for the Xolo's hairlessness also affects the dog's dentition: Hairless Xolos typically have an incomplete set of teeth while the dogs of the coated variety have complete dentition.

The apricot is a small tree, tall, with a trunk up to in diameter and a dense, spreading canopy. The leaves are ovate, long and wide, with a rounded base, a pointed tip and a finely serrated margin. The flowers are in diameter, with five white to pinkish petals; they are produced singly or in pairs in early spring before the leaves. The fruit is a drupe similar to a small peach, diameter (larger in some modern cultivars), from yellow to orange, often tinged red on the side most exposed to the sun; its surface can be smooth (botanically described as: glabrous) or velvety with very short hairs (botanically: pubescent).

These florets sit on a common base (or receptacle) across and are not individually subtended by a bract (or palea). The one-seeded fruits (or cypselas) are inverted egg-shaped to oval, yellow-brown to reddish in color, have two conspicuous vascular bundles along their edge, and are crowned by a circle of many, long, bone-colored hairs, with small teeth along their length and slightly wider at the tip. The surface of those belonging to the ligulate florets are hairless, those of the disc florets have very short hairs. Solitary flower heads sit at the tip of a long peduncles, in few headed umbel- like inflorescences.

Houseflies land on a ceiling by flying straight towards it; just before landing, they make a half roll and point all six legs at the surface, absorbing the shock with the front legs and sticking a moment later with the other four. A housefly wing under 250x magnification The thorax is a shade of gray, sometimes even black, with four dark, longitudinal bands of even width on the dorsal surface. The whole body is covered with short hairs. Like other Diptera, houseflies have only one pair of wings; what would be the hind pair is reduced to small halteres that aid in flight stability.

In the centre of the fall, is a signal patch, which is dark brown, or burgundy brown, and in the middle of the falls, it has a row of short hairs called the 'beard', which is sparse, and white with a slightly yellow tint, or orange-white. It has broader standards, which are orbicular (rounded), or unguiculate (narrow stalk-like), they are cm long and 4.5–5 cm wide. It has short, 3.5 to 5 cm long, broad and crenulated crests, and a 2.5 cm long perianth tube. After the iris has flowered, it produces a trigonal (narrow at both ends) and long seed capsule.
|
|
Like other irises, it has 2 pairs of petals, 3 large sepals (outer petals), known as the 'falls' and 3 inner, smaller petals (or tepals), known as the 'standards'. The falls are broadly obovate, deflexed (folded over) and slightly narrowed at apex, or slightly spoon-shaped. In purple shade forms, they have a violet, or dark purple signal patch. In the middle of the falls, is a row of short hairs called the 'beard', which is yellow, The erect, standards are broader, or larger than the falls, They are also a similar colour to the falls, but they can be slightly paler than the falls.

The hairless bract that subtends the individual flower is purplish in colour, about 6 mm (0.24 in) long and 3 mm (0.12 in) wide, and consists of a roundish body from which a thick midrib extends in a long, stretched tip. The silvery flowers are straight while still buds. The lower part of the 4-merous perianth with the lobes fused (called the tube) is 3 mm (0.012 in) long, hairless and quickly splits to its base. The middle part where all four segments that become free as soon as the flower opens (called claws) are magenta pink, 6½–8 mm (¼–⅓ in) long, very narrowly spade-shaped, and covered in short hairs pressed to its surface.

Both head and thorax are clad in short hairs, but no bristles are on the body. The membranous forewings are clear, uniformly shaded grey or brown, or patterned in some species; they have a basal lobe (or calypter) that covers the modified knob-like hindwings or halteres. The tips of the legs have two lobes on the sides (pulvilli) and a central lobe or empodium in addition to two claws that enable them to grip surfaces. Species recognition is based on details of head structures (antennae, frons, and maxillae), the wing venation and the body patterning; minute variations of surface structure cause subtle alterations of the overlying hairs which alters the appearance of the body.

In the centre of the falls, is a dark, purple signal patch, which is variable in size, (between large and very small, ) and can be hidden under the beard. Also in the middle of the falls, is a sparse, or broad, (2-2.5 cm wide,) and long (halfway down the falls,) row of short hairs called the 'beard', which are purple, brownish purple, or yellow. It has style arms that are a similar colour to the standards, (including yellow or white spotted with purple,) and wide, with purple dots, or veining. It has a long pedicel, with a short perianth tube, it has white filaments and anthers that are often tipped purple.

They can come in shades of pink, from white, to lilac, pale lavender, and grey-purple. Like other irises, it has 2 pairs of petals, 3 large sepals (outer petals) known as the 'falls', and 3 inner, smaller petals (or tepals, known as the 'standards'. The falls are oblong-obovate shaped and recurved (bent backwards), with maroon, brown, or crimson, lilac to pink dots and veins on a pale blue, lavender, pale cream or yellowish ground. It has a small deep maroon coloured signal patch, and in the middle of the falls, is a row of short hairs called the 'beard', which is sparse and brown, purple-brown or reddish in colour.

Apricot tree in central Cappadocia, Turkey Apricot flowers in the village of Benhama, Kashmir Unripe fruits Prunus armeniaca is a small tree, tall, with a trunk up to in diameter and a dense, spreading canopy. The leaves are ovate, long and wide, with a rounded base, a pointed tip and a finely serrated margin. The flowers are in diameter, with five white to pinkish petals; they are produced singly or in pairs in early spring before the leaves. The fruit is a drupe similar to a small peach, diameter (larger in some modern cultivars), from yellow to orange, often tinged red on the side most exposed to the sun; its surface can be smooth (botanically described as: glabrous) or velvety with very short hairs (botanically: pubescent).

Just before opening the flower is up to 8½ mm (⅓ in) long, the corolla tube may have soft short hairs or not, while the four free lobes are 7⅓ mm (0.3 in) long and coil when the flower opens. The anthers are directly attached to the inside of the corolla lobes with no discernible filament. The ovary that is encircled by a row of hairs, is topped by a style of long, with few soft hairs in the lower half, at the top gradually converging into an elliptic, more or less stump stigma of about ¾ mm (0.03 in) long. The subtribe Proteinae to which the genus Paranomus has been assigned consistently has a basic chromosome number of twelve (2n=24).

The taxa in the section Felicia may be woody shrublets or annual herb, nearly always with fully alternately set, thin to succulent, mostly narrow, variably hairy leaves, and many to few heads, always with ligulate florets, that are purple to white or seldomly yellow, and yellow disc florets that may turn reddish when aging, each head encircled by an involucre of three to four worls of overlapping bracts with resin ducts, the outer bracts clearly smaller. Short triangular style braches entirely set with papillae. Cypselas crowned with one row of soft, equal length, more or less dehyscent pappus hairs, and its surface initially with very short hairs, later often without. The twenty eight species and several subspecies occur in southern Africa, but are concentrated in the south-western Cape.

The medium grey head is covered with a smooth layer of scales and bears a well-developed and very scaly proboscis; ocelli are absent, and a white stripe runs along the side of the head. The labial palps are slim and curve backwards; they reach far beyond the vertex in length, with the third segment being somewhat longer than the second. The latter is grey like the head on the outside, with a white spot near the tip, and silvery towards the midline; the third palp segment is black and bears a white lengthwise stripe. Its black serrated antennae have grey rings and bear fine hairs, with a comb of short hairs on the scape as is typical for cosmet moths and some relatives; the scape is shorter than the head.

Felicia josephinae is an annual herbaceous plant (germinating, flowering and setting seed just one time, before dying, all within one year) of 15–20 cm (6–8 in) high that branches regularly from near its base upward. The stems and leaves are prickly due to short and long hairs that each consist of several cells, mixed with glands on short stalks in the upper parts of the stems. The lower leaves are set oppositely, are inverted lance-shaped, relatively large at 3–7 cm (1½–2¾ in) long and ⅔–1¼ cm (¼–½ in) wide, have few prickly hairs and soon wither. The higher leaves are narrower, lance- to line-shaped, mostly alternately set, and prickly due to long and short hairs. The flower heads are set individually at the end of flower stalks of up to 5 cm (2 in) long, that stand in the axils of the leaves and carry few, scattered and very small awl- shaped bracts.

L. bolusii is an evergreen, upright to spreading, rounded shrublet of up to 1½ m (5 ft) in diameter that grows from a single main stem. The flowering branches are upright, slender, 3–5 mm (0.12–0.20 in) in diameter and covered in felty hairs. The leaves that may have some powdery hair when young, lack a stalk, are slightly overlapping, more or less oriented upright, oval to elliptic in shape, 2½–4½ cm (1.0–1.8 in) long, ¾–1½ cm (0.3–0.6 in) wide, with a pointy to blunt, bony tip, usually an entire margin, but sometimes with two or three bony teeth. The globe-shaped flower heads with a flattened top about 2 cm (0.8 in) in diameter, are set on a woolly stalk of about 1 cm (0.4 in) long and 2 mm (0.08 in) in diameter, and occur in groups of up to eight near the tip of the branches. The common base of the flowers in the same head is flat and 5–7 mm (0.20-0.28 in) wide and is subtended by soft and papery, red to carmine, oval bracts with a pointy tip of 4–5 mm (0.16–0.20 in) long and 2 mm (0.08 in) wide, becoming hairless but with a regular row of short hairs along the margins, set in about three overlapping whorls creating a cup-shaped involucre.
