The term herbaceous border is mostly in use in the United Kingdom and the Commonwealth of Nations Commonwealth . In North America, the term perennial border is normally used. Herbaceous borders as they are known today were first popularly used in gardens in the Victorian era . Hybridization and new imported plant species revolutionized the form of British gardens in the 18th and 19th centuries. In addition, the works of Gertrude Jekyll , a British 20th century garden designer and prolific writer, popularized the use of the herbaceous border through a revival of the British cottage garden . image Allhusen garden.jpg thumb left Herbaceous border at Bradenham Hall Maintaining the herbaceous border is work intensive, as the perennials had to be dug up every 3 4 years and divided to keep the bed clean looking and prevent overgrowth of the plants. In World War I this type of border became less popular in Britain as there was a shortage of labour to keep the gardens maintained. However, there are still some celebrated examples in British gardens. The world s longest herbaceous border at 215 metres 705 ft , is according to the Guinness Book of Records at Dirleton Castle , East Lothian , Scotland. ref http www.undiscoveredscotland.co.uk dirleton dirletoncastle ref References Notes references Sources cite book last van Der Horst first Arend Jan others Trans. from Dutch by Mary Charles title Art of the Formal Garden origyear 1994 year 1995 publisher Cassell location London isbn 0 304 347426 chapter Herbaceous Borders http www.suite101.com article.cfm garden design 103795 Herbaceous Borders Part Two Category Garden features ... more details

The Plant is a still unfinished serial novel published in 2000 as an e book by United States American author Stephen King . The novel is about the editor in a paperback publishing house, who gets a manuscript from what seems like a crackpot. The manuscript is about magic, but it also contains photographs that seem very real. He writes the author a rejection slip, but because of the photographs, he also notifies the police where the author lives. This enrages the author, who sends a mysterious plant to the editor s office. The story is told in Epistolary novel epistolary format , consisting entirely of letters, memos, and so on. History King wrote a few parts of a story by the same name, and sent them out as chapbook s to his friends, instead of Christmas card s, in 1982, 1983, and 1985. Only three installments were produced by Stephen King Philtrum Press Philtrum Press before the story was shelved, and the original editions are hotly sought after collector s items today. In 2000, King published the novella Riding the Bullet over the internet , making it the world s first mass market e book . However, there were technical problems with downloading, and hacker computer security hackers eventually cracked the encryption on it. Later that year, King decided to release The Plant directly via his website, unencrypted and in installments. People could pay a one dollar fee for each installment using the honor system . He threatened, however, to drop the project if the percentage of paying readers fell below 75 percent. He viewed the release as an experiment in alternate forms of distribution, writing ....

Image RosmaryStem SatCrop BgSub.jpg thumb right A section of rosemary stem, an example of a woody plant, showing a typical wood structure. A woody plant is a plant that uses wood as its structural tissue. These are typically perennial plants whose stems and larger roots are reinforced with wood produced adjacent to the vascular tissue s. The main stem, larger branches, and roots of these plants are usually covered by a layer of thickened bark . Woody plants are usually either tree s, shrub s, or liana s. Wood is a structural cell biology cell ular adaptation that allows woody plants to grow from above ground stems year after year, thus making some woody plants the largest and tallest plants. A plant with true woody stems contains wood , which is primarily composed of structures made of cellulose and lignin . These structures provide support and a Vascular tissue vascular system which woody plants use to move water and nutrients from the roots to the leaves and to move sugars from the leaves to the rest of the plant. Most woody plants form new layers of woody tissue each year, and so increase their stem diameter from year to year. New wood is deposited on both sides of a cambium layer dn that is present near the outer parts of the stem under the bark on most plants. In some monocotyledons such as Arecaceae palms and Dracaena 28plant 29 dracaenas , the wood is formed in bundles from meristem cells within the trunk. ref http www.amjbot.org cgi content full 91 10 1645?maxtoshow &HITS 10&hits 10&RESULTFORMAT &fulltext canna&searchid 1&FIRSTINDEX 0&sortspec relevance&resourcetype ... season.

Manning Devia is a monotypic genus of perennial, herbaceous, and bulbous plants in the Iris family Iridaceae , containing the single species Devia xeromorpha . It is a local Endemism endemic of the Roggeveld Escarpment in the western Karoo , South Africa , closely related to the southern and tropical African Crocosmia , a member of subtribe Tritoniinae of Ixioideae Ixieae . It is remarkable in the Tritoniinae in its narrow, four grooved leaves dusty pink, actinomorphic flower s with helically rotated anther s and tussock forming habit. Basic chromosome number for Tritoniinae is x 11 but Chasmanthe and some species of Tritonia have n 10. Devia , with n 10, is consistent with this pattern, but it differs from Crocosmia which has the basic number for the subtribe. Although some of the differences between Devia and Crocosmia reflect adaptations to dry environments in the former, the genus appears to have followed an independent evolutionary pathway, becoming specialized in the structure of the leaf and in orientation of the stamens and style.
