    The document provides information on several plant species: - Hazelnuts are nuts surrounded by a husk that fall out when ripe, seven to eight months after pollination. Their kernel is edible raw or roasted. - Cornflowers are blue flowering plants native to Europe with grey-green stems and lanceolate leaves. - Sea-buckthorns are deciduous shrubs that grow in dry, sandy areas and tolerate salt and full sunlight. - Blackcurrants are berry-producing shrubs with alternate lobed leaves and dark purple edible berries. - Chamomile is a daisy-like plant used to make infusions that help with sleep but should be avoided

    Common hazel (alun) A hazelnut is the nut of the hazel and is also known as a cob nut or filbert nut

    according to species. A cob is roughly spherical to oval, about 1525 mm long and 1015 mm in diameter, with an outer fibrous husk surrounding a smooth shell. A filbert is more elongated, being about twice as long as it is round. The nut falls out of the husk when ripe, about seven to eight months after pollination. The kernel of the seed is edible and used raw or roasted, or ground into a paste. Hazelnuts are also used for livestock feed, as are chestnuts and acorns. The seed has a thin dark brown skin, which is sometimes removed before cooking.

    Cornflower (albastrele) Cornflower is a small annual flowering plant in the family Asteraceae, native to Europe. "Cornflower" is also erroneously used for chicory, and more correctly for a few other Centaurea species; to distinguish C. cyanus from these it is sometimes called Common Cornflower. It may also be referred to as basketflower, though the term properly refers to the Plectocephalus group of Centaurea, which is probably a distinct genus. It is an annual plant growing to 16-35 inches tall, with grey-green branched stems. The leaves are lanceolate, 14 cm long. The flowers are most commonly an intense blue colour, produced in flowerheads (capitula) 1.53 cm diameter, with a ring of a few large, spreading ray florets surrounding a central cluster of disc florets. The blue pigment is protocyanin, which in roses is red.

    Sea Buckthorn (ctin) The sea-buckthorns (Hippophae L.) are deciduous shrubs in the genus Hippophae, family Elaeagnaceae. The name seabuckthorn is hyphenated here to avoid confusion with the buckthorns (Rhamnus, family Rhamnaceae). It is also referred to as sandthorn, sallowthornor seaberry. The sea-buckthorn (Hippophae rhamnoides) is by far the most widespread of the species in the genus, with the ranges of its eight subspecies extending from the Atlantic coasts of Europe right across to northwestern China. In western Europe, it is largely confined to sea coasts where salt spray off the sea prevents other larger plants from out-competing it, but in central Asia it is more widespread in dry semidesert sites where other plants cannot survive the dry conditions. In central Europe and Asia it also occurs as a subalpine shrub above tree line in mountains, and other sunny areas such as river banks. They are tolerant of salt in the air and soil, but demand full sunlight for good growth and do not tolerate shady conditions near larger trees. They typically grow in dry, sandy areas. Black currant (coacz) Blackcurrant, Ribes nigrum, (Phalsa or Falsa) (Urdu: ) is a species of Ribes berry native to central and northern Europe and northern Asia, and is a perennial. It is a small shrub, growing to 12 m tall. The leaves are alternate, simple, 35 cm long and broad, and palmately lobed with five lobes, with a serrated margin. The flowers are 4 6 mm diameter, with five reddish-green to brownish petals; they are produced in racemes 5 10 cm long. When not in fruit, the plant looks similar to the redcurrant shrub, distinguished by a strong fragrance from leaves and stems. The fruit is an edible berry 1 cm diameter, very dark purple in colour, almost black, with a glossy skin and a persistent calyx at the apex, and containing several seeds dense in nutrients. An established bush can produce up to 5 kilograms of berries during summer.

    Chamomile (romania) Chamomile or camomile is a common name for several daisy-like plants of the family Asteraceae. These plants are best known for their ability to be made into an infusion which is commonly used to help with sleep and is often served with either honey or lemon. Because chamomile can cause uterine contractions which can lead to miscarriage, the U.S. National Institutes for Health says that pregnant and nursing mothers should not consume chamomile. Chrysin, a flavonoid found in chamomile, has been shown to be anxiolytic in rodents,and is believed to be at least partially responsible for chamomile's reputation as a sleep aid. It is known to reduce stress.
