His infusions are recommended for coughs, headaches, digestive disorders and pain of rheumatism performing the role inflammation. MALLOW BOTANICAL CLASSIFICATION Kingdom Plantae Division Magnoliophyta Class Magnoliopsida Order Malvales Family Malvaceae Genre Malva Annual, biannual or perennial wild herb once grown near houses but quite rare today. In Italy mallow, with its bright pink flowers, grows spontaneously. The flowers can be a delicate pink,violet or mauve colour with five petalled flowers, 3 cms. wide. Summer flowering until autumn, removing dead flowers. CLEMATIS BOTANICAL CLASSIFICATION Kingdom Plantae Division Magnoliophyta Class Magnoliopsida Order Sapindales Family Anarcadiaceae Genre Pistacia These perennials type shrub, or vine can be fickle high (or long in this case Lianos) up to several meters (10 and over). The flowers of these plants are characterized by a certain lack of cohesion among the various floral organs. The colors of various shades are vibrant and eye-catching (yellowishgreen, red, purple or white). They emit a weak slightly honeyed aroma. These flowers do not produce nectar. PARSLEY BOTANICAL CLASSIFICATION Kingdom Plantae Division Magnoliophyta Class Magnoliopsida Order Apiales Family Apiaceae Genre Petroselium Biennial plant, native to Mediterranean areas, where it grows spontaneously. The leaves and stems are the parts used for both fresh consumption and for the preparation of sauces. The plant grows well in temperate climates, can not stand the cold and that is why you should never make the first sowing of the months of February to March in the north and south. This plant prefers soil rich in organic matter to make the right amount of manure is useful to use a ripe at a rate of 3-4 kg per square meter, which will be buried at a depth ranging from 20 to 30 cm. This will help the plant throughout the growing season. If the plant has the yellowing may require the addition of iron-based products.
