Η παλαιοχριστιανική Βασιλική της Αγίας Τριάδας - Cyprus

See also List of Cyprus archaeological sites on this blog Η βασιλική της Αγίας Τριάδας είναι μια σχετικά μικρών διαστάσεων τρίκλιτη βασιλική (18Χ14 ο κυρίως ναός) με τρεις προεξέχουσες ημικυκλικές αψίδες με νάρθηκα και αίθριο δυτικά. Το δάπεδο των κλιτών όπως και του νάρθηκα καλυπτόταν με σημαντικά γεωμετρικά και μερικά εικονιστικά ψηφιδωτά. Το κτίσιμό της χρονολογείται γύρω στο 425μ.Χ. Υπάρχει βαπτιστήριο με σταυρόσχημη κολυμβήθρα όμοιο με αυτό της βασιλικής του Αγίου Επιφανίου. Πηγή http://ayiatriada.org.cy/?cat=21&lang=GR Photos 12/3/2016  by George Konstantinou

Anthemis rigida Heldr. - Cyprus

Anthemis is a genus of aromatic flowering plants in the family Asteraceae, closely related to Chamaemelum, and like that genus, known by the common name chamomile; some species are also called dog-fennel or mayweed. Anthemis are native to the Mediterranean region and southwest Asia east to Iran. A number of species have also become naturalized in the United Kingdom and other parts of the world.

There are around 100 species within this genus. 

Anthemis species are used as food plants by the larvae of some Lepidoptera species including Orthonama obstipata (The Gem) and Bucculatrix anthemidella, a leaf-miner which feeds exclusively on Anthemis tinctoria.From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Convolvulus pentapetaloides L. - Cyprus

Convolvulus  is a genus of about 200 to 250 species of flowering plants in the bindweed family Convolvulaceae, with a cosmopolitan distribution. Common names include bindweed and morning glory, both names shared with other closely related genera.

They are annual or perennial herbaceous vines, bines and (a few species of) woody shrubs, growing to 0.3–3 m tall. The leaves are spirally arranged, and the flowers trumpet-shaped, mostly white or pink, but blue, violet, purple or yellow in some species.

Many of the species are problematic weeds, which can swamp other more valuable plants by climbing over them, but some are also cultivated for their attractive flowers. Some species are globally threatened.

Convolvulus species are used as food plants by the larvae of some Lepidoptera species, including the convolvulus hawk moth, the sweet potato leaf miner (Bedellia somnulentella) and the gem; the leaf miner Bucculatrix cantabricella feeds exclusively on C. cantabricus.

Glebionis segetum (L.) Fourr. - Cyprus

Glebionis segetum (syn. Chrysanthemum segetum) is a species of the genus Glebionis, probably native only to the eastern Mediterranean region but now naturalized in western and northern Europe as well as China and parts of North America. Common names include corn marigold and corn daisy.

Glebionis segetum is a herbaceous perennial plant growing to 80 cm tall, with spirally arranged, deeply lobed leaves 5–20 cm long. The flowers are bright yellow, produced in capitulae (flowerheads) 3.5-5.5 cm in diameter, with a ring of ray florets and a centre of disc florets.

Glebionis segetum is widely naturalised outside of its native range, colonising western and central Europe with early human agriculture; it can be an invasive weed in some areas.

Glebionis segetum was formerly treated in the genus Chrysanthemum, but under a 1999 decision of the International Botanical Congress, that genus has been redefined with a different circumscription to include the economically important florist's chrysanthemum (now Chrysanthemum indicum).

The corn marigold appears to have been a serious weed during the 13th century in Scotland, as suggested by a law of Alexander II which states that if a farmer allows so much as a single plant to produce seed in amongst his crops, then he will be fined a sheep.

In Crete and Greece, the leaves and the tender shoots of a variety called neromantilida (νερομαντηλίδα) are eaten raw in salads or browned in hot olive oil by the locals.

Ectophasia sp. - Cyprus

Family: Tachinidae
Subfamily: Phasiinae

This Ectophasia species was found to host (internal parasite) in Spilostethus pandurus. The larvae complete the larval stage as an internal parasite. When the larva is ready to change to pupa, it gets outside of its host and change into pupa (possibly in the soil).
