All Species of Figwort

Capraria is a genus of flowering plants in the family Scrophulariaceae.

Figworts

Figworts are comprised of hundreds of individual herbaceous, flowering species. Figworts all share square stems, opposite leaves, and clusters of open, two-lipped flowers. They particularly enjoy open woodland habitats and are providers of an important source of food for rare butterflies and moths, such as the Phymatopus hectoides.

Barometerbush

Barometerbush

Barometerbush are a group of evergreen shrubs famous for their drought tolerance and salt tolerance. Producing showy flowers and maintaining their handsome green foliage all year, several species are popular ornamentals, especially in very arid areas where few other showy plants are able to grow. Barometerbush get their common name for their ability to forecast rain - they often bloom several days in advance of a rainstorm, which are infrequent in their native desert habitats.

Bontia

Myoporum

Myoporum are a small genus that consists of shrubs and small trees. Species of this genus sport deep green, lance-shaped leaves and usually have small, white flowers. Although considered invasives in some areas beyond their native range, these plants are nevertheless popular in horticulture, being planted as ornamental ground cover, as hedgerows, and as windbreaks.

Mullein

Mullein

Mullein comprise a large group of flowering plants in the figwort family that sport sturdy stems and saucer-shaped flowers. The foliage is fuzzy and has a silvery sheen. Most wild species are found in stony hillsides or open woodlands. As cultivated garden plants, they work well in cottage, gravel, or rock gardens. Mullein are sometimes known as "Beggar's Blanket" because poor people would line their shoes with the leaves for warmth hundreds of years ago.

Diascia

Diascia is a genus of herbaceous annual and perennial flowering plants of the family Scrophulariaceae. The flowers are borne in loose terminal racemes. The corolla is five-lobed, and normally pink or rose-coloured in the perennial species most commonly seen in cultivation. This genus includes about 70 species. Diascia is native to southern Africa.

Cape fuchsia

Cape fuchsia

They are evergreen shrubs often treated as perennials in colder climates. They bear many pendent tubular flowers over a long period in summer, in shades of white, yellow and red. There are currently two species in this genus. They are native to wet slopes and banks in southern Africa.

Drumstick flower is a genus of flowering plants now regarded as being a member of the Scrophulariaceae, the figwort family. The genus is endemic to Southern Africa and includes some described sixty species. Superficially the shape of the flowers is strikingly phlox-like.

Lionfaces

Lionfaces

Lionfaces are popular garden plants used to create flowering borders. The flowers are also used to attract butterflies and other pollinators. The numerous species and cultivars provide a wide selection of flower colors, but all species have similarly shaped green leaves. The plants also have a long and prolific summer blooming period.

Butterfly bushes, as their name suggests, regularly attract butterflies wherever they are grown. They produce nectar with high sugar levels, which brings in butterflies, hummingbirds, and bees. Examples were first imported from China to the UK in the 1890s but they have since been cultivated and grown globally. Their prolific flower spikes reseed easily and become semi-invasive in some areas.

Mudworts

Mudworts

Mudworts are annual, largely aquatic plants, found in muddy areas worldwide.

Mask flower

Mask flower

Mask flower is a genus of 12 species of flowering plants in the family Scrophulariaceae. The genus includes both herbaceous and shrubby species. The genus is native to Central and western South America. Mask flowers grow to around 30 to 100 cm tall, and have small, broadly oval, serrated leaves. The red, orange, yellow, white or occasionally blue flowers are borne on a loose terminal raceme.

Dracaena

Dracaena are popular house plants that are easy to grow. They can tolerate low-light conditions and require little watering. Their leaves range from variegated to dark green. Their characteristic traits include woody stems that grow slowly but offer a striking appearance for small spaces such as apartments or offices.

Fig trees

Fig trees have been cultivated in many regions for their fruits, particularly the common fig, F. carica. Most of the species have edible fruits, although the common fig is the only one of commercial value. Fig trees are also important food sources for wildlife in the tropics, including monkeys, bats, and insects.

Brambles

Brambles are members of the rose family, and there are hundreds of different types to be found throughout the European countryside. They have been culturally significant for centuries; Christian folklore stories hold that when the devil was thrown from heaven, he landed on a bramble bush. Their vigorous growth habit can tangle into native plants and take over.

Maples

The popular tree family known as maples change the color of their leaves in the fall. Many cultural traditions encourage people to watch the colors change, such as momijigari in Japan. Maples popular options for bonsai art. Alternately, their sap is used to create maple syrup.

Prunus

Prunus is a genus of flowering fruit trees that includes almonds, cherries, plums, peaches, nectarines, and apricots. These are often known as "stone fruits" because their pits are large seeds or "stones." When prunus trees are damaged, they exhibit "gummosis," a condition in which the tree's gum (similar to sap) is secreted to the bark to help heal external wounds.

Nightshades

Nightshades is a large and diverse genus of plants, with more than 1500 different types worldwide. This genus incorporates both important staple food crops like tomato, potato, and eggplant, but also dangerous poisonous plants from the nightshade family. The name was coined by Pliny the Elder almost two thousand years ago.

Roses

Most species of roses are shrubs or climbing plants that have showy flowers and sharp thorns. They are commonly cultivated for cut flowers or as ornamental plants in gardens due to their attractive appearance, pleasant fragrance, and cultural significance in many countries. The rose hips (fruits) can also be used in jams and teas.

Oaks

Oaks are among the world's longest-lived trees, sometimes growing for over 1,000 years! The oldest known oak tree is in the southern United States and is over 1,500 years old. Oaks produce an exceedingly popular type of wood which is used to make different products, from furniture and flooring to wine barrels and even cosmetic creams.
