agróstide común

Agrostis capillaris, colonial bentgrass, is a perennial grass in the family Poaceae with an extensive native range across Europe and naturalised populations in North America, South America, and Oceania, including Australia and New Zealand. This species is highly adaptable, colonising tropical and subtropical moist broadleaf forests, temperate grasslands, disturbed soils, roadsides, and cultivated landscapes within the Neotropical realm. It is assessed as Least Concern by the IUCN. Colonial bentgrass is a fine-leaved, low-growing species often used in lawn and sports turf applications due to its tolerance for close mowing and its capacity to form dense, even swards. Its panicle inflorescences bear numerous small spikelets on delicate, hair-like branches, giving the species a feathery appearance when in flower. In its naturalised range, Agrostis capillaris can become invasive, competing with native grass species in acid grasslands and open heathlands. The species tolerates acidic and nutrient-poor soils, attributes that contribute to its widespread persistence in degraded landscapes. Biological traits of this species remain poorly documented in the scientific literature.

linho

Linum usitatissimum is an annual flowering plant in the family Linaceae, order Malpighiales, commonly known as common flax or linseed. This species has been cultivated by humans for thousands of years and is one of the oldest domesticated crops, valued for both its fiber (used to produce linen textiles) and its seeds (source of linseed oil and dietary flaxseed). Linum usitatissimum has an exceptionally broad global distribution through cultivation and naturalization, with presence documented across Africa, Asia, Europe, North America, Oceania, and South America. The plant typically grows as a slender, erect annual reaching approximately 1.2 meters in height, bearing narrow leaves and distinctive pale blue to white five-petaled flowers. It favors well-drained soils in temperate to subtropical climates and is widely grown as a commercial crop. The species thrives in open, sunny habitats. Biological traits of this species remain poorly documented in the scientific literature.
