Usar para: Coniferae

• any member of the division Pinophyta, class Pinopsida, order Pinales, made up of living and fossil gymnospermous plants that usually have needle-shaped evergreen leaves and seeds attached to the scales of a woody bracted cone.

• the pine family of conifers, consists of species of trees (rarely shrubs) native to northern temperate regions. Contain many species that are sources of timber, paper pulp, oils, and resins. Some are cultivated as ornamentals.

Usar para: firs

• a genus of evergreen trees of the conifer family Pinaceae. Although several other coniferous trees are commonly called firs, true firs are native to North and Central America, Europe, Asia, and northern Africa. Several species are useful as a source of timber, and a number are cultivated as ornamentals, including use as Christmas trees.

• a family of plants widely distributed, usually evergreen, coniferous trees and shrubs having small, flattened, scalelike or sometimes needle-like leaves and including the cypress, juniper, and arborvitae.

Usar para: junipers

• a plant genus consisting of species of aromatic evergreen trees or shrubs of the cypress family (Cupressaceae), distributed throughout the Northern Hemisphere. A number of species are cultivated as ornamentals and are useful for their timber.
• a large genus of evergreen shrubs or trees (family Cupressaceae) that have small appressed scale leaves or especially on juvenile growth acerose leaves, minute solitary terminal flowers, and small cones resembling berries and that include some cultivated as ornamentals and some valued for their timber

• Oleaceae are woody plants native to forested regions. Most members are trees or shrubs, but a minority, such as most jasmines, are woody climbers. Plants of the family are distributed throughout the world, except for the Arctic; they are especially abundant in tropical and temperate Asia. The tropical and warm-temperate species are evergreen; those from the colder North Temperate Zone are deciduous.
• the olive family
• A number of plants in the family are of economic or aesthetic importance: the olive tree is the source of olives and olive oil; the ashes (genus Fraxinus) are noted for their hardwood timber; and many genera are famous for their horticultural merit—e.g., Syringa (lilacs), Jasminum (jasmines), Ligustrum (privets), Forsythia (golden bell), and Osmanthus (tea olive).

Usar para: ash

• a genus of trees or sometimes shrubs (family Oleaceae) comprising the ashes, being natives of the north temperate zone, and having thin furrowed bark, opposite pinnate leaves, and small apetalous flowers followed by fruits that are samaras

Usar para: European ash

• a tall Eurasian tree (Fraxinus excelsior) having leaves that are dark green and glabrous above and paler and often pubescent on the veins beneath with 7 to 11 oval leaflets.

Usar para: passerine

• the largest order of birds and the dominant avian group on Earth today.
• The passeriform birds are true perching birds, with four toes, three directed forward and one backward. Considered the most highly evolved of all birds, passerines have undergone an explosive evolutionary radiation in relatively recent geological time and now occur in abundance on all continents except Antarctica and on most oceanic islands.
• Their rapid evolution and adaptation to virtually all terrestrial environments resulted in a large number of species, some 5,700, compared with only about 4,069 species of all other birds.

Usar para: bush warblers

• Most bush warblers are secretive brown birds, adept at clambering through thick shrubbery, and, though vocal, some will not emerge even in response to playback. Although some genera forage actively in mid and upper levels of vegetation, most forage near the ground and many will not flush if alarmed, instead escaping by walking or scurrying away like a mouse. The tesias and stubtails are the most adroit at running through dense vegetation seemingly without disturbing it at all, and with their short tails, relatively long legs, and bounding gait they look like tiny pittas making their getaway.
