The greater part of the Wormseed is used in Turkestan, where it grows in enormous quantities in the desert of the Kirghiz, especially near the town of Chimkent, where a factory has been erected in which large quantities of Santonin are produced from the Wormseed collected in the vicinity, not more than 10 per cent of the drug being now exported in the crude state, in which condition it is known in this country as Levant Wormseed.

Weitere Namen sind "Semenzina", "Semen cinae" = "Samen aus Genua", weil er im 16.Jh. über das italienische Genua importiert wurde (und weil man annham, dass es sich um kleine Samenkörner handelt).
Die Bezeichnung "Semen contra" ist nichts weiter als die Abkürzung für "Semen contra vermes" = "Samen gegen Würmer".
Tragus, in 1531, in Brunfels' Herbal, mentions Wormseed as being imported by way of Genoa; it was employed in Italy under the name of "Semenzina" (diminutive of "Semenza" = "seed"), in the belief that it consisted of small seeds. From this word is derived the name of "Semen cinae", by which the drug is often known.
"Semen contra" (another of its names) is an abbreviation of "Semen contra vermes".

Ernten statt schürfen
26.08.2015 - Oliver Ristau
Die Idee klingt verrückt: Forscher wollen Pflanzen wie Mais oder Hirse nutzen, um wertvolle Metalle wie "Germanium" und seltene Erden zu gewinnen - und so Deutschland unabhängig von Importen machen. Kann das gelingen?
Das wäre mal wirklich ein "grünes Metall". Statt die begehrten seltenen Erden oder das wertvolle "Germanium" mit Baggern aus dem Boden zu kratzen und dabei gigantische Löcher und tiefe Risse auf der Erdoberfläche zu hinterlassen, wollen Forscher sie künftig einfach anbauen. Man könnte die Metalle ernten wie Mais, Raps oder Hirse. Absurd? Nicht wenn es nach dem Geoökologen Oliver Wiche geht. "Deutschland wäre in der Lage, seinen Bedarf an "Germanium" auf diese Weise durch eigene Vorkommen in den Böden problemlos zu decken", sagt der Biowissenschaftler von der Technischen Universität Bergakademie Freiberg. Auch bei seltenen Erden könnte Deutschland China als Rohstoffland Konkurrenz machen.
"Phytomining" heißt die Idee von der Pflanze als Bergmann. Das Prinzip ist einfach: Gewächse reichern während ihres Wachstums in Stängeln, Wurzeln und Blättern verschiedene Elemente an, die sie aus dem Boden ziehen. Dabei handelt es sich in erster Linie zwar um lebensnotwendige Stoffe wie Kalzium und Silizium. Aber die Organismen nehmen mit ihnen auch jene Elemente mit auf, die chemisch ähnlich sind. "Pflanzen verwechseln sie mit Nährstoffen", erklärt Wiche. "Germanium" beispielsweise ist eng verwandt mit Silizium. Die seltenen Erden oder Lanthanoide ähneln dem Kalzium.

Phytomining
Als Phytomining wird die Gewinnung von Metallen mit Hilfe von Pflanzen bezeichnet. Im Gegensatz zur Phytoextraktion bezieht sich dieses Verfahren nur auf Metalle. Diese Metalle können so etwa aus Verbrennungsrückständen wiedergewonnen werden. Bisher eignet sich dieses Verfahren nur, um die Kosten der Phytosanierung (oder Phytoremediation) durch den Gewinn der extrahierten Metalle etwas zu senken. Es wird aber - etwa an der Modellpflanze Hallersche Schaumkresse - daran geforscht, Phytomining auch zum Erzabbau einzusetzen - etwa zur Gewinnung seltener Erden.

The Pitcher Plant
pitcher
"pitcher" (n.1) "earthen jug", c. 1200, from Old French "pichier" (12c.), altered from "bichier", from Medieval Latin "bicarium", probably from Greek "bikos" "earthen vessel" (see "beaker").
"Pitcher-plant" is recorded from 1819; so called for its resemblance.
"pitcher" (n.2) "one who pitches", 1722, agent noun from "pitch" (v.1). Originally of one tossing hay into a wagon, etc.; baseball sense first recorded 1845.

There are, as you say, a number of senses of the word "pitch", and the connections between them are not always easy to trace. To begin with, we can eliminate the "tar" sense of "pitch" from the puzzle. Derived from "pix" [dt. "Pech", "Teer"], the Latin word for the substance, this sort of "pitch" is also used in figurative senses such as "pitch dark".
The other senses of "pitch" as both a noun and a verb are completely unrelated to the "tar" sense and derive from the Middle English "pichen", which carried the general meaning of "to thrust, drive or fasten" [dt. "stecken", "treiben", "befestigen"] something, especially into the ground (still used when we "pitch" a tent). Subsequent senses of "pitch" as both a noun and a verb all involve notions of either "planting" or "throwing," although in some senses, such as musical "pitch" (which refers to the height or frequency at which sounds are delivered) the connection is very remote. A cricket "pitch" is so called because that's where the wickets are "pitched", i.e., set into the ground.
Given the tenuous connections between some uses of "pitch" and the original "thrust" meaning of the word, the baseball sense of "pitcher" is eminently logical by comparison.
Incidentally, the sort of "pitcher" used to hold and serve beverages comes from the late Latin word "picarium" and is unrelated to any of the "pitch" words above.

Pitcher plant, Sarracenia purpurearp
...
Canada's most familiar pitcher plant, "Sarracenia purpurea", is named after "Dr. Michel Sarrasin de L’Étang" (1659-1734), Canada’s first professional botanist, in the sense that he was the first person to collect and catalogue plant specimens in a systematic mode. Sarrasin came out to La Nouvelle France in 1685 to become surgeon-major to the French colonial army, became an avid collector of the flora and fauna he found in New France and throughout his life in the new world shipped hundreds of specimens back to the Académie royale des sciences in Paris.

Sarracenia purpurea (Botanical Latin, purple, referring to the colour of the mottled pitchers) is the floral emblem of Newfoundland and Labrador.

St. John's Wort: Its Benefits Both Mystical and Medical
North Americans expect witches to broom through black sky on Halloween. But the older European tradition says that the proper time for witch flight is Midsummer's Eve, the night of June 24, called "Walpurgisnacht" in German. Intimately associated with this magical eventide is the plant named "St. John's Wort".
The verbal origin of "St. John's Wort" is a demonstration of how powerful an erroneous folk etymology can be. First, we'll do some etymological spade work in the loam of Old English on that intriguing "wort" that subtends so many old English plant names: "birthwort", "liverwort", "lousewort", "lungwort", "pennywort", "pepperwort", and "sneezewort". The "Oxford English Dictionary" lists hundreds of common "-wort" names for flowers. The Old English word for "root" or any "plant", "herb", or "veggie useful as food or medicine" was "wyrt", Germanic relative of the modern German noun "Wurz", "root", and related to the Scandinavian word "urt" for "root". "Wort" is related to our word "root", to Old Norse "rot", to Latin "radix" (hence "radish"), to Greek "rhiza", all meaning "root of a plant".

Plants are truly remarkable: even with all our modern technological prowess they still feed, clothe and shelter us, help transport us and can intoxicate and cure us. Helen and William Bynum are expert guides to the rich histories, significance and uses of over 80 key plants in 69 entries, revealing our relationship with them, both utilitarian and aesthetic, and their multiple benefits and cultural associations. Organised thematically, eight sections cover all aspects of our interaction with plants - starting with those crops that were fundamental to the development of cultures and civilizations, and those that enliven our diet beyond the basics, such as saffron and chilli peppers. Other sections look at plants that have helped to create our material world, as well as those that are used medicinally or are revered and adored for symbolic reasons, including the tulip, the rose and the lotus. For anyone interested in the natural world and the extraordinary diversity of flora around us, this elegantly illustrated and covetable book, packed full of materials from Kew's archives, will be an inspiration and a delight.
About the authors
Helen and William Bynum are historians of science and medicine and also have a particular interest in plants and their importance in human culture and society. They have written or edited numerous books, including Great Discoveries in Medicine (Thames & Hudson, 2011).

Kurzbeschreibung
The Etymological Dictionary of Succulent Plant Names explains the meanings of the scientific names given to all known succulent plants, including cacti. With the derivation of the currently accepted names of over 10,000 taxa, the dictionary is a useful supplement to the "Illustrated Handbook of Succulent Plants". It is a valuable reference for plant scientists, horticulturists, and hobbyists with an interest in succulent plants.
Kurzbeschreibung
The lush, sculptural hosta is loved by gardeners for its ability to both combine well with other plants and project a strong presence when planted alone. "The New Encyclopedia of Hostas" - the second edition of Diana Grenfell and Michael Shadrack's classic work - provides growth and cultivation information for seven hundred cultivated hostas. Detailed, easy-to-read descriptions include growing tips, recommendations for landscape use, and suggestions for companion plants. Clear cultivation advice is provided, including recommendations for hostas that succeed in challenging environments, such as the warmer regions of the United States. Captivating photographs show hostas up close and in a wide range of different garden situations. Gardeners will appreciate the depth and scope of this essential reference and use it time and again to help with plant selection and identification, and to inspire new plantings.

David Hunt hatte ein Ziel, das neue Kakteen-Lexikon soll die Nachfolge der Werke von Britton & Rose oder Backeberg antreten. Es stellt den vollständigen Stand des aktuellen Wissens über die Kakteen dar und soll damit den Status eines allumfassenden Referenzwerk für Profis und Liebhaber haben. Mit mehr als 2500 Abbildungen in einem eigenständigen Bildatlas sehr opulent illustriert.
Projects Project profile:
New Cactus Lexicon
Published privately in July 2006 by principal compiler/editor David Hunt, and assisted by Nigel Taylor and Graham Charles, as a not-for-profit project, the New Cactus Lexicon (2 volumes) is the most comprehensive compendium on Cactaceae ever to appear. It is likely to remain unrivalled as a collection of high quality documented images of cacti and an invaluable source of reference for all students of the family. More than 95% of all cactus taxa recognised at the level of species and subspecies are illustrated with 2,505 colour images in the Atlas volume, the majority as plants of known wild provenance, whether in habitat or cultivation. The text volume lists and documents alphabetically the recognised genera and all species names in current use, whether accepted or as synonyms, with bibliographic details, typification, abbreviated diagnostic descriptions, cross references to illustrations in the Atlas, geographical distribution by country and state, and taxonomic commentary. Indexes are provided to all names in current use and basionyms, besides a list of IUCN Red List categories and preliminary conservation assessments for all taxa considered to be threatened in any way. The Atlas volume is organised systematically, with the larger and more complex genera broken down into subgeneric groupings to aid identification. In this way it can function like a ‘pictorial herbarium’. The two volumes together run to nearly 1,000 pages.
More than 100 individuals around the world have contributed photographic images to the Atlas volume, including local botanical collaborators from Argentina, Bolivia, Brazil, Mexico, Peru and the USA. The project is a remarkable example of what can be achieved when professionals and amateurs work together. The collaborators who have contributed either directly or indirectly to the text volume are all members of the International Cactaceae Systematics Group.

Atlas volume
With its 526 pages of illustrations this volume is a stunning visual masterpiece, and the most comprehensive pictorial record of cacti ever published (the slightly blurred quality of the examples is entirely due to my reproduction).
...
Text volume
The text volume comprises 373 pages and is a no-frills dictionary of the currently recognized genera, species and subspecies of cacti. It does not include any chapters of general information about the family, its history, morphology, ethnobotany, cultivation and so on - so don’t expect an encyclopedic work like Anderson’s The Cactus Family or Benson’s Cacti of the United States and Canada.
