• Established in 1670, the Royal Botanic Garden Edinburgh (RBGE) is a leading botanic Garden and a global centre for biodiversity science, horticulture and education.

Usar para: mosses, liverworts, hornworts

• traditional name for any nonvascular seedless plant—namely, any of the mosses (division Bryophyta), hornworts (division Anthocerotophyta), and liverworts (division Marchantiophyta). Most bryophytes lack complex tissue organization, yet they show considerable diversity in form and ecology. They are widely distributed throughout the world and are relatively small compared with most seed-bearing plants.

• The Botanic Cottage originally stood at the entrance to a long lost incarnation of Royal Botanic Garden Edinburgh (RBGE), across the city on Leith Walk. It was built in 1764-5, was both the home of the principal gardener and the main entrance to the Garden. It contained a classroom where every medical student was taught botany during the height of the Scottish Enlightenment. In 2016, it was moved stone by stone across Edinburgh, and rebuilt in our Demonstration Garden, where schools, students and community groups have plots. It was rebuilt with all of the stones and timbers going back in the correct places, and finished so that it looks as good as it did 250 years ago.

• a plant or plantlike organism (such as a fern, moss, alga, or fungus) reproducing by spores and not producing flowers or seed

Usar para: fauna

• any of a kingdom (Animalia) of living things including many-celled organisms and often many of the single-celled ones (such as protozoans) that typically differ from plants in having cells without cellulose walls, in lacking chlorophyll and the capacity for photosynthesis, in requiring more complex food materials (such as proteins), in being organized to a greater degree of complexity, and in having the capacity for spontaneous movement and rapid motor responses to stimulation
• any animal that is not a human being

Usar para: alga

• any of a diverse group of chiefly photosynthetic and aquatic plantlike organisms that range from unicellular to large multicellular forms, are typically classified as protists, and include the green, yellow-green, brown, golden-brown, and red algae in the eukaryotes and especially formerly the cyanobacteria in the prokaryotes
• Note: While multicellular algae often resemble plants, they lack the true roots, leaves, and stems characteristic of vascular plants.

• Artwork is always scientifically and botanically correct but not necessarily complete. More emphasis is placed on the aesthetic value of the plant or flower but without the requirement for ALL the information required by the botanists.
• Artwork is frequently in colour (on a plain background). It may also include a record of the plant growing in its natural habitat. Botanical art may form part of a project and contribute to a flora - records made of plants in a geographical location or garden.

• the science that deals with the properties, composition, and structure of substances (defined as elements and compounds), the transformations they undergo, and the energy that is released or absorbed during these processes.

• in graphic art, comically distorted drawing or likeness, done with the purpose of satirizing or ridiculing its subject.

• an armed police force organized on military lines but distinct from the regular army
