### Daphne

* Daphne mezereum February daphneThe genus Daphne comprises nearly 100 accepted species worldwide, none of which are native to North America.
* Daphne mezereum has invaded moist forests in southern Ontario.
* All parts of Daphne mezereum are toxic if eaten, and contact with the sap can cause skin irritation.

## Family Cistaceae

* The Cistaceae (rock-rose family) in New York contains 4 genera with a total of 14 accepted taxa.
* Crocanthemum (frostweed) with 4 taxa,
* Helianthemum (frostweed) with 1 taxon,
* Hudsonia (goldenheather) with 2 taxa,
* Lechea (pinweed) with 7 taxa.
* ↑ Cistaceae Troy Weldy & David Werier (2013) New York Flora Atlas. New York Flora Association, Albany, New York.

### Lechea

* Lechea intermediaThe genus Lechea is based primarily in eastern North America and contains about 18 species referred to as "pinweeds," of which seven sepecies (nine taxa) have been reported in New York. Most are low-growing herbs with narrow leaves and may small flowers that resemble pinheads.
* Linneaus named the genus Lechea for Swedish botanist Johan Leche (1704–1764), who taught in Finland and is regarded as the father of Finnish meteorology and space research, based on his documentation of the northern lights and early measurements of air temperature in collaboration with Anders Celsius.
