Lamiales

**Lamiales** is an order in the asterid group o dicotyledonous flouerin plants. It includes approximately 11,000 speshies split intae aboot 20 faimilies. Weel-kent or economically important memmers o this order include lavender, lilac, olive, jasmine, the esh tree, teak, snapdragon, sesame, psyllium, gairden sage, an a nummer o table yerbs sic as mint, basil, an rosemary.

## Characteristics

*superior ovary componed o twa fused carpels
*five petals fused intae a tube
*bilaterally symmetrical, eften bilabiate corollas
*fower (or less) fertile stamens

## Taxonomic History
Lamiales previously haed a restrictit circumscription (e.g., bi Arthur Cronquist) that included the major faimilies Lamiaceae (Labiatae), Verbenaceae, an Boraginaceae plus twathree smawer faimilies. Recent phylogenetic wirk haes shawn that Lamiales is polyphyletic wi respect tae order Scrophulariales an the twa groups are nou uisually combined in a single order that includes the umwhile orders Hippuridales an Plantaginales. Lamiales haes become the preferred name for this mair muckle combined group. The placement o Boraginaceae is unclear but phylogenetic wirk shaws that this faimily disnae belang in Lamiales.

The circumscription o faimily Scrophulariaceae, formerly a paraphyletic group defined primarily bi plesiomorphic chairacters an frae athin that numerous ether faimilies o the Lamiales war derived, haes been radically altered tae create a nummer o smawer, better-defined an putatively monophyletic faimilies.

Carnival baunds lik Filhos de Gandhi, Olodum an Muzenza then fused the electric frevo wi maracatu an Olodum rhythms, African ijexá an Caribbean merengue. Olodum's afro-muisic fusion wis a Bahian success in the 1980s an wis follaeed bi deboche (*debauchery*), an electric frevo/ijexá fusion.

## ''Axé'' in  1990s
The release o *O Canto da Cidade* set the stage for airtist an baunds lik Ivete Sangalo, Banda Cheiro de Amor, Banda Eva, Bandamel, Asa de Águia an Chiclete com Banana.

Tho axé wis vera popular throu the 1990s, it haed famous detractors lik Dorival Caymmi. On the ither haund, Caetano Veloso supportit it.

Ranunculales

**Ranunculales** is an order o flouerin plants. O necessity it contains the faimily Ranunculaceae, the buttercup faimily, because the name o the order is based on the name o a genus in that faimily. Ranunculales belongs tae a paraphyletic group kent as the basal eudicots. It is the maist basal clade in this group; in ether wirds, it is sister tae the remainin eudicots.

## Taxonomy
The Angiosperm Phylogeny Group recognized seven faimilies in Ranunculales in their APG III system, published in 2009. In the preceding APG II system, they offered the option o three segregate faimilies as shown below. 

* order Ranunculales
*: faimily Berberidaceae
*: faimily Circaeasteraceae
*:: [+ faimily Kingdoniaceae ]
*: faimily Eupteleaceae
*: faimily Lardizabalaceae
*: faimily Menispermaceae
*: faimily Papaveraceae
*:: [+ faimily Fumariaceae ]
*:: [+ faimily Pteridophyllaceae ]
*: faimily Ranunculaceae
Note: "+ ..." = optionally separate faimily (that mey be split aff frae the precedin faimily).

Unner this definition, well-kent memmers o Ranunculales include buttercups, clematis, columbines, delphiniums, an poppies.

The Cronquist system (1981) also recognised the order, but placed it in the subclass Magnoliidae, in class Magnoliopsida [= dicotyledons]. It uised this circumscription:
* order Ranunculales
*: faimily Ranunculaceae
*: faimily Circaeasteraceae
*: faimily Berberidaceae
*: faimily Sargentodoxaceae
*: faimily Lardizabalaceae
*: faimily Menispermaceae
*: faimily Coriariaceae
*: faimily Sabiaceae

In the Cronquist system, the Papaveraceae an Fumariaceae (includin the plants in the optional faimily Pteridophyllaceae) were treatit as a separate order **Papaverales**, placed in this same subclass Magnoliidae. The Cronquist circumscription o Ranunculales is nou kent tae be polyphyletic. Sabiaceae is in a clade o basal eudicots separate frae Ranunculales. Coriariaceae is now placed in the order Cucurbitales.

A phylogeny o Ranunculales wis published in 2009, based on molecular phylogenetic analysis o DNA sequences. The authors o this paper revised the subfaimilies an tribes o the order.

Urticaceae

**Urticaceae**, or the nettle faimily, is a faimily o flouerin plants. The faimily name comes frae the genus *Urtica* (nettles). Urticaceae include a nummer o well-kent an uiseful plants, includin the aforementioned nettles, ramie (*Boehmeria nivea*), māmaki (*[[Pipturus albidus]]*), an ajlai (*[[Debregeasia saeneb]]*).

The faimily includes approximately 2600 species, grouped intae 54 tae 79 genera accordin tae the database o the Ryal Botanic Gardens, Kew. The lairgest genera are *[[Pilea]]* (500 tae 715 species), *[[Elatostema]]* (300 species), *[[Urtica]]* (80 species), an *[[Cecropia]]* (75 species).

Urticaceae can be foond warldwide, apart frae the polar regions.

## Taxonomy

APG II system puts Urticaceae in order Rosales, while aulder seestems consider it pairt of Urticales, along wi Ulmaceae, Moraceae an Cannabaceae. APG still considers "auld" Urticales a monophyletic group, but daes nae recognise it as an order on its awn.

## Description

Urticaceae can be shrubs (e.g. *Pilea*), lianas, yerbs (e.g. *Urtica*, *Parietaria*), or, rarely, trees (*Dendrocnide*, *Cecropia*).

**[[Leafs]]** are uisually enteer an beir stipules. Urticatin (stingin) hairs are eften present.

Urticaceae hae usually unisexual **flouers** an can be baith monoecious or dioecious. Thay are pollinatit bi the wind. Maist disperse their pollen whan the stamens are matur an their filaments straichten explosively, a peculiar an conspicuously specialised mechanism.

Eros

**Eros** (, ; , "Desire"), in Greek meethologie, is the Greek god o luve. His Roman coonterpairt wis Cupid ("desire"). Some meeths mak him a primordial god, while in ither meeths, he is the son o Aphrodite.

## Evolution o the cult an depiction o Eros
Eros appears in auncient Greek sources unner several different guises. In the earliest sources (the cosmogonies, the earliest filosofers, an texts referrin tae the mystery releegions), he is ane o the primordial gods involvit in the comin intae bein o the cosmos. But in later sources, Eros is representit as the son o Aphrodite, whose mischievous interventions in the affairs o gods an mortals cause bonds o love tae form, aften illicitly. Ultimately, in the later satirical poets, he is representit as a blindfauldit bairn, the precursor tae the chubby Renaissance Cupid – whareas in early Greek poetry an airt, Eros wis depictit as an adult male who embodies sexual pouer.

## Primordial god
Accordin tae Hesiod (c. 700 BC), ane o the maist auncient o aw Greek sources, Eros wis a primordial god, that is, he haed nae parents. He wis the fowert god tae come intae existence, comin efter Chaos, Gaia (the Yird), an Tartarus (the Abyss or the Unnerwarld).

Homer does no mention Eros. However, Parmenides (c. 400 BC), ane o the pre-socratic filosofers, makes Eros the first o aw the gods tae come intae existence.

The Orphic an Eleusinian Mysteries featured Eros as a vera oreeginal god, but no quite primordial, syne he wis the bairn o Nicht (Nyx). Aristophanes (c. 400 BC), influencit bi Orphism, relates the birth o Eros an then o the entire human race:

At the beginnin thare wis anerlie Chaos, Nicht (Nyx), Darkness (Erebus), an the Abyss (Tartarus). Yird, the Air an Heiven haed nae existence. Firstly, blackwinged Nicht laid a germless egg in the bosom o the infinite deeps o Darkness, an frae this, efter the revolution o lang ages, sprang the graceful Luve (Eros) wi his glitterin gowden wings, swift as the whirlwinds o the tempest. He matit in the deep Abyss wi dark Chaos, winged like hissel, an thus hatched fort oor race, which wis the first tae see the licht.

Sorbus commixta

***Sorbus commixta*** (**Japanese Rowan**; ) is a species o rowan native tae Japan, the far east o Roushie on Sakhalin, an in Korea on the island o Ulleungdo.

It is a smaa tae medium-sized deciduous tree growin tae 7–10 m (rarely tae 18 m) tall wi a roonded crown an brounochie tae siller-grey baurk. The leafs is 20–30 cm lang, pinnate wi atween 11-17 leaflet 4–7 cm lang an 1–2.5 cm broad, wi an acuminate apex an serratit margins; they change tae a deep purpie or reid in hairst. The flouers are 6–10 mm diameter, wi five white petals an 20 yellaichie-white stamens; they are produced in corymbs 9–15 cm diametre in late ware tae early simmer. The fruit is a bricht orange tae reid pome 7–8 mm diameter, maturin in hairst.

Plants frae Hokkaidō, the Kuril Islands an Sakhalin is whiles distinguished as *Sorbus commixta* var. *sachalinensis*, wi lairger leaflets up tae 9 cm lang.

## Cultivation an uises
Ootwi o its native range, it is grown as an ornamental tree in Europe an North Americae, hardy in zones 5-9. It grows best in moist, weel-drained soil, in fou sun.
