Re: Any Plant Will Do
Episcia is a genus of about 8 species belonging to the flowering plant family Gesneriaceae.
The species are found in the tropical regions of Central America and South America (frequently cultivated elsewhere and sometimes naturalizing in tropical regions).
The species are perennial herbaceous plants characterized by a stoloniferous habit, red (rarely orange, pink, blue or yellow) flowers, and frequently have marked or patterned leaves.
They are grown in the tropics, and in temperate regions as houseplants, primarily for their attractive foliage.

Re: Any Plant Will Do
For much of the Twentieth Century Episcia had a broad circumscription but since 1978 has been restricted to a much narrower one, with the genera Paradrymonia, Chrysothemis, Nautilocalyx, and Alsobia separated from it.
The segregation of these genera from Episcia has been supported in recent molecular phylogenies.
Episcias are sometimes called "Flame violets".

Re: Any Plant Will Do
Rattan (from the Malay rotan), is the name for the roughly six hundred species of palms in the tribe Calameae, native to tropical regions of Africa, Asia and Australasia.
Most rattans are distinct from other palms in having slender stems 2–5 cm diameter with long internodes between the leaves; their consequent growth habit also differs, not being trees but vine-like, scrambling through and over other vegetation. They are also superficially similar to bamboo, but distinct in that the stems ("malacca") are solid, rather than hollow, and also in their need for some sort of support; while bamboo can grow on its own, rattan cannot. Some genera (e.g. Metroxylon, Pigafetta, Raphia) are however more like typical palms, with stouter, erect trunks.
Many rattans are also spiny, the spines acting as hooks to aid climbing over other plants, and also to deter herbivores. Rattans have been known to grow up to hundreds of metres long.
Most (70%) of the world's rattan population exist in Indonesia, distributed among Borneo, Celebes, Sumbawa islands. The rest of the world's supply comes from the Philippines, Sri Lanka, Malaysia and Bangladesh.
In the forests where rattan grows, its economic value can help protect forest land, by providing an alternative to loggers who forgo timber logging and harvest rattan canes instead.
Rattan is much easier to harvest, requiring simpler tools and also much easier to transport. Furthermore, compared to most tropical wood, rattan is much faster growing.
This makes it a potential tool in forest maintenance, since it provides a profitable crop that depends on rather than replaces trees. Whether it can be as profitable or useful as the alternatives, however, remains to be seen.

Re: Any Plant Will Do
Gigantochloa verticillata
Origin of plant: southeast asia (indonesia)
This member of the grass family is one of the largest species of bamboo, attaining heights of up to 25 m in the wild.
It is native to Asia but, like many species of bamboo, its distribution around the world has been greatly changed by human intervention. In some cases, clearing of land for agriculture has meant the total destruction of natural habitats of bamboo.
Giant bamboo is extremely versatile and has earned such names as: 'friend of the people' and 'wood of the poor'.
It is valued for house construction because it is relatively straight, strong and easy to work. Mature stems are used extensively for paper-making and new shoots may be eaten.
Some bamboos are among the fastest growing plants in the world. One Japanese species has been recorded as growing over 1m in a day.

Re: Any Plant Will Do
Anthurium andreanum is a spectacular South American epiphytic plant (epiphytes grow on other plants, but they are otherwise independent and not parasitic), which produces dark green, glossy leaves about 23cm long. There's a near continuous show of bright red/purple spathes with yellow spadices.

Re: Any Plant Will Do
Some people still refer to crocosmias as montbretia. This name comes from the French botanist Monsieur de Montbret, but the correct term is definitely crocosmia from the Greek krokos, meaning saffron, and osme meaning smell, alluding to the saffron scent given off by the dried flowers when placed in water.
Besides the old favourites, new hybrids have burst on to the scene in the past 20 years. When using the more electrifying colours, place them with care so you get full value and they don't clash with their neighbours.

Re: Any Plant Will Do
Taxonomy of Gerbera Daisy Flowers:
Plant taxonomy classifies gerbera daisy flowers as Gerbera jamesonii . "African daisy" is listed as a common name for this plant, since it is indigenous to South Africa. But in North America you're more likely to see an altered version of the scientific name (either "gerber daisy" or "gerbera daisy") used essentially as the plant's common name.

Re: Any Plant Will Do
Hosta (syn.: Funkia) is a genus of about 23–45 species of lily-like plants native to northeast Asia.
They were once classified in the family Liliaceae but are now included in the family Agavaceae by the Angiosperm Phylogeny Group.
The scientific name is also used as the common name; in the past they were also sometimes called the Corfu Lily, the Day Lily, or the Plantain lily, but these terms are now obsolete.
The name Hosta is in honor of the Austrian botanist Nicholas Thomas Host.
The Japanese name Giboshi is also used in English to a small extent.
The rejected generic name Funkia, also used as a common name, can be found in some older literature.

Re: Any Plant Will Do
Hostas are herbaceous perennial plants, growing from rhizomes or stolons,[2] with broad lanceolate or ovate leaves varying widely in size by species from 1–15 in (3–40 cm) long and 0.75–12 in (2–30 cm) broad.
Variation among the numerous cultivars is even greater, with clumps ranging from less than 4 in (10 cm) across to more than 2.5 ft across.
Leaf color in wild species is typically green, although some species (e.g., H. sieboldiana) are known for a glaucous waxy leaf coating that gives a blue appearance to the leaf.
Some species have a glaucous white coating covering the underside of the leaves. Natural mutations of native species are known with yellow-green ("gold") colored leaves or with leaf variegation (either white/cream or yellowish edges or centers).

Re: Any Plant Will Do
Umumnya bunga ini dipanggil Shasta Daisy mungkin kalau di Indonesiakan menjadi daisy gondrong.
Nama Botanicalnya: Leucanthemum x superbum 'Aglaia'
Nama lainnya:Chrysanthemum maximum 'Aglaia'
Genus:Leucanthemum
Nama Varietynya:Aglaia
Masa bunga: sepanjang musim panas dan musim gugur.
Bunganya berwarna putih menyerupai daisy namun dengan daun bunga lebih lebat dan tengah bunga berwarna kuning.
Karena bunganya besar kadang-kadang tangkai bunganya tidak sanggup menopang, karena itu diperlukan penopang tambahan. Bagusnya tanaman ini tidak rewel terhadap tanah, bisa tumbuh didaerah berkapur, berpasir maupun tanah liat.

Re: Any Plant Will Do
Tanaman ini lebih dikenal dengan nama "French Lavender" atau "Spanish Lavender", karena banyak ditemui tumbuh liar didaerah mediterania.
Tidak sekuat "Common Lavender" dalam menghadapi temperatur rendah, namun karena pertumbuhannya yang cepat, maka tanaman ini dikomersialkan untuk bahan pewangi air freshner dan juga untuk insectiside.
Di Australia, di Kabupaten Victoria, tanaman ini dianggap pest karena tumbuh liar tidak terkendali sejak di perkenalkannya ke benua tersebut ditahun 1920. Memunahkan tanaman ini tidak bisa dengan cara memangkas, tapi harus menggali sampai ke akar-akarnya.

Tumbuhan prairie asal Amerika ini dimanfaatkan oleh penduduk asli Amerika (Indian) sebagai obat karena daun dan akarnya memiliki sifat antiseptis, antibacteri dan stimulant/menyegarkan.
Tumbuhan ini sangat effektif untuk menyembuhkan sakit tenggorokan dan gonorrhoea. Daunnya dipanen pada musim panas dan akarnya dipanen pada musim gugur.
Bunganya digemari lebah yang tidak menimbulkan masalah namun akarnya digemari tikus yang bias menimbulkan masalah pemeliharaannya.

Re: Any Plant Will Do
Lithospermum purpurocaeruleum umum dikenal di Eropa dengan nama Purple Gromwell, tanaman ini telah lama dibudidayakan di Jepang sejak jaman “Nara” dan dikenal dengan nama Murasaki untuk akarnya yang dipakai sebagai bahan obat-obatan dan bahan pembuat warna.
Menurut cerita di Jepang ketika zaman “Heian” yang diperbolehkan menggunakan warna murasaki iro ini hanyalah ratu dan dayangs-nya.
Oleh penduduk asli Amerika (Indian), akarnya bisa dikunyah-kunyah untuk menyembuhkan demam karena flu, disamping untuk menyembuhkan sakit perut dan ginjal. Tumbukan daun dan batangnya dipakai untuk menyembuhkan anggota badan yang lumpuh dengan cara menggosokkan dan mengurut dibagian tubuh yang lumpuh, atau bisa juga dimakan sebagai obat contraceptive.
