TYPES OF PLANTS IN OUR ORCHARD

MEDICINAL PLANT

The Herbal Medicine, sometimes referred to as Herbalism or Botanical Medicine, is the use of therapeutic herbs or medicinal value. These plants have a variety of chemicals that act on the body.

MANZANILLA

The herbal medicine is the oldest known living and healthcare to humanity. Herbs havebeen used by all cultures throughout history. It was an integral part of the development ofmodern civilization. Much of the medicinal use of plants seems to have been developedthrough observations of wild animals, and by trial and error. Over time, each tribe added the medicinal power of herbs in your area to your database. They methodically collected information on herbs and developing a well defined list of these herbalpharmacopoeias. In fact, well into the 20th century most of the pharmacopoeia of scientific medicine is derived from the herbal tradition of native peoples. Many drugscommonly used today are of plant origin.

AROMATIC PLANT

Herbs are divided into three distinct groups: the aromatic plants themselves, which are used as a condiment, and those with medicinal properties. It may happen that the samegrass count the three properties.

Aromatic plants themselves produce their perfume through the storage of essential oils in their leaves and flowers. There are many varieties of aromatic vegetation, may be some trees such as orange or lemon. It can also be a shrub like the rose or jasmine.And finally, are herbaceous plants such as lavender or lemon balm.

GALÁN DE MEDIA NOCHE

Aromatic plants are useful for decorating gardens, terraces, indoor, or any corner of our home. Not only are a distinctive sight, but also provide a pleasant aroma in the air.

We can also find culinary herbs or seasoning, used to flavor a variety of foods. Among them are basil, bay leaf, thyme, mint, to name a few.

Finally there are those plants with medicinal or curative properties. A wide variety of herbs with these qualities, trees, shrubs, herbaceous as. They are typically used in the form of infusions, as poultices, among other ways.

Flowering plants 

The flowering plants called angiosperms, and were the last that appeared in the history of the Earth, back in the Late Jurassic (130 million years). Today, they grow on Earth some 400,000 species of flowering plants. Flowering plants are classified into monocots and dicots. 

Flowering plants are the source of most of the food consumed by man, accompanyingthe development precisely because of this flower appeared the fruit, and are also the source of many raw materials and natural products. The bulk of the food supplied byplants in the world comes from only fifteen species of angiosperms.

Like all other seed plants, have a life cycle heterospórico (megaspores, microspores) and the gametophyte is developed in endospórica (the sporophyte gives female sporesand within the female gametophyte develops, and the same with the male gametophyte.) Sporangia are always born on leaves' fertile leaves ": stamens and carpels and fertileleaves are in a structure called a flower. As in all seed plants, the megaspore produces a unique megasporangio that never leaves him, which develops the female gametophyte, and is covered with a coat besides being indehiscent.
