Θαλασσινό κρινάκι (Παγκράτιο το παράλιο)

Pancratium maritimum

Είναι αυτοφυές φυτό που συναντά κανείς σε αμμώδεις θαλάσσιες ακτές της Μεσογείου ιδιαίτερα στην Κύπρο, στην Κορσική, στο Ισραήλ, την Τουρ��ία, στις Καναρίους νήσους, στην Πελοπόννησο, στην Χαλκιδική, στις Κυκλάδες και στην Κρήτη. Ανήκει στην οικογένεια των Amaryllidaceae (Αμαρυλλιδοειδών) της συνομοταξίας των αγγειοσπέρμων. Ο κρίνος της θάλασσας με τα μεγάλα εντυπωσιακά, λευκά, εύοσμα άνθη του, ανθίζει από τα μέσα Ιουλίου μέχρι τα τέλη Σεπτεμβρίου. Η καρποφορία γίνεται το φθινόπωρο όπου μέσα από τις κάψες εμφανίζονται οι μαύροι ανάλαφροι σπόροι που μοιάζουν με κομματάκια από κάρβουνο. Αποτελεί ένα από τα ωραιότερα είδη στις αμμώδεις παραλίες της χώρας μας, αν και τα τελευταία χρόνια εξαιτίας της αύξησης του τουρισμού οι πληθυσμοί του μειώνονται συνεχώς.

Il y a une quinzaine de jours, je suis allé faire un coucou à Isabelle (chez elle à Ceyreste, au dessus de La Ciotat). Puis direction la plage de Fontsainte, quartier Saint-Jean, à la Ciotat. De là on a une superbe vue sur la ville et son chantier naval et sur l'Île Verte, aux confins du Parc National des Calanques.

Les plantes sont des Cristes marines (Crithmum maritimum).

Santoña, Victoria and Joyel Marshes Natural Park, Spain (No. 2)

The Natural Park of the Marshes of Santoña, Victoria and Joyel is a Spanish protected natural area located in Cantabria that has three localized areas: the estuary formed by the Asón River (Santoña-Laredo) and the Victoria and Joyel marshes. The whole constitutes the main wetland of the Cantabrian Cornice. It was declared a nature reserve by Law 6/1992, of March 21, of the Head of State, and then reclassified as a natural park by the Law of Cantabria 4/2006, of May 19, on Nature Conservation.​

It occupies 6678 hectares distributed between the municipalities of Ampuero, Argoños, Arnuero, Bárcena de Cicero, Colindres, Escalante, Laredo, Limpias, Noja, Santoña and Voto. This unique enclave, in addition to being prodigal in marine fauna, is used by migratory birds, coming from the north and center of the continent, in their displacement towards warmer lands. Overall, 121 species of birds linked to the aquatic environment have been observed in this natural space to date.

In 1987, the environmental associations SEO (Spanish Ornithological Society, now SEO/BirdLife) and ARCA (Association for the Defense of Natural Resources of Cantabria), filed a complaint with the Commission of the European Communities about the bad situation and danger suffered by the marshes of Santoña (drying up of marsh areas, construction of the Santoña-Argoños section of the Ca-141, etc.), which put at risk the annual stay of thousands of migratory birds, some of them in danger of extinction. That same year, infringement proceedings were opened.​

In March 1992, and before the Judgment of the Court of Luxembourg, Spain declared the Nature Reserve. Finally, in 1993 the Court condemned Spain for failure to fulfil its obligations under the EEC Treaty. being the first environmental condemnation of the European court to Spain.

The Inland Sphynx (Homopantera terra) is a large sentient of the morphic genus Homopantera, native New Petra. It has a lean, broad-chested body; a proportioned humanoid head; round ears; and a dark, hairy tuft at the tip of its tail. It is not sexually dimorphic. The Inland Sphynx lives alone, but socialises.

Etymology The word 'Sphynx' is a Greek corruption of the Egyptian name 'shesepankh', which meant 'living image'.

Taxonomy Homopantera terra is the current designation in use in New Petra. Other species are Homopantera maritimum (Coastal Sphynx), Homopantera androphagon (Manticore) and Homopantera ornata (Lamasu). Some have proposed the alternative name: Homopantera civitas instead of terra.

Description The Inland Sphynx is a lean, broad-chested like-felid with a humanoid head, a reduced neck, and round furred ears. The base of the tail and the area behind the forelimbs are densely feathered.

The fur varies in colour from light buff to silvery grey, yellowish red, and dark brown. The colours of the underparts are generally lighter. Both male and female Inland Sphynx retain spots into adulthood. Feather colours are generally bright, with purples, reds, oranges and metallics being common. Hair ranges from any natural human colour, though is frequently dyed to match the feathers. The tail of all Inland Sphynx ends in a dark, hairy tuft that conceals a hard 'spur' that is formed from the final, fused sections of tail bone.

Its skull is very similar to that of a standard human, though much larger. Faces are frequently oval with pronounced, elevated, and arched eyebrows, large almond-shaped eyes, well-defined cheeks, full lips and a prominent, pointed chin. Males frequently cultivate a beard. Canines are only slightly more developed than a human's, and dentition supports omnivorous eating.

Large paws have fully retractable claws and are notably agile compared to other Homopantera, enabling limited tool use and more elaborate grooming. Instead of a dew claw, they have a thumb, though the size of their digits limits precise actions.

The average Inland Sphynx is approximately 170cm long with a tail length of 80 cm, and a weight of 120 kilos. Females are only slightly smaller than males.

Distribution and habitat The Inland Sphynx is found only in New Petra and does not travel. As of this writing, around fifty individuals are registered with the Bureau of Population.

Behaviour and ecology Inland Sphynx spend much of their time resting; they are inactive for about sixteen hours per day. Although they can be active at any time, their activity generally peaks after noon with a period of socialising, grooming, and then activity in their chosen profession.

While they are solitary amongst their own species they commonly live close by other sentients and have reciprocal arrangements for grooming, entertainment, and health related reasons.

The Inland Sphynx is a generalist omnivore and prefers cooked food. It is a poor hunter unless trained to do so, as it's needs are generally met through the society that it functions in. When it is required to fend for itself, it generally hunts by ambush from a raised platform or tree - it cannot fly, but is capable of fully extending the feathers around it's forelimbs to allow a controlled fall. They prefer small game, rich fruits, and enjoy wine and other fermented substances.

Reproduction is limited and sporadic, resulting in a large egg that requires brooding for 110 days. Inland Sphynx who want to have offspring have access to artificial incubators in New Petra. Cubs are somewhat altricial, despite being born with fur, and must be parented for four years before reaching adult size. They make decent parents despite being generally solitary, cubs receive schooling along side other youth in New Petra.

Morphic ecology notes

All Homopantera are capable of shifting species according to adaptive pressure. The Inland Sphynx is particularly prone to shifting to a Coastal Sphynx body and lifestyle should they engage in any of the following behaviours:

Eating sentients

Engaging in blood sports

Spending time with Coastal Sphynx

Ceasing intellectual pursuits

Engaging in anti-social behaviour

Inland Sphynx can rarely shift to a Lamasu under the following situations:

Eating predators

Developing a martial outlook

Developing an obsession with astronomy and philosophy

Behaving in an ascetic manner

Adhering to a strict set of behavioural rules

Inland Sphynx cannot become Manticores unless they go through a Coastal Sphynx transformation first.

Social notes

Inland Sphynx ornament and decorate themselves when they have the assistance of humans to do so. They maintain themselves neatly, and are frequently in the University District. Those who cannot maintain academic pursuits have the physical strength to do more mundane jobs such as dock workers or pull carts. They generally avoid roles such as scouts or guards to avoid morphic shifting.

Generally occupations chosen by Inland Sphynx include various academic focuses, due to their excellent memory. They favour writing, mathematics, history and stories. They all admire riddles, and can develop obsessive behaviours around them.

Most Inland Sphynx speak several languages, and are gregarious as long as they can return to their own home, alone, and recharge in peace.

筑波鳥兜[Tsukubatorikabuto] Aconitum japonicum subsp. maritimum

筑波[Tsukuba] : 筑波山[Tsukuba-san], Mount Tsukuba https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mount_Tsukuba

鳥兜[Torikabuto] : Bird helmet, a traditional hat worn in Bugaku; wolfsbane, the genus Aconitum https://www.metmuseum.org/art/collection/search/55104

It is a subspecies of 山鳥兜[Yamatorikabuto](A. japonicum subsp. japonicum) and so named because it was first found in Mount Tsukuba, Ibaraki Prefecture. Compared to Yamatorikabuto, it has more deeply lobed leaves and the longer flower helmet, apical sepal. However, since the two are extremely similar, I am not confident in this identification.

Torikabuto is one of the most poisonous plants in our country. The entire grass is poisonous, especially the roots. The main component of it is aconitine. While this is used as a medicine, poisoning deaths from accidental ingestion and homicides have also occurred. It is said that this is probably what Iemon gave to Iwa in the ghost story Yotsuya Kaidan.

Pancratium maritimum (Sea daffodil)

[arachnidappreciation]

like spiders, pseudoscorpions excrete silk to create cocoon-like structures that protect them from the elements while molting, mating. and overwintering. unlike spiders, whose silk is produced by spinnerets in the abdomen, pseudoscorpions spin silk from glands in their jaws.

this behavior appears to be universal among pseudoscorpions, and is utilized particularly frequently by the marine pseudoscorpion Neobisium maritimum

I think these are brown-lipped snails (Cepaea nemoralis) snacking on rock samphire (Crithmum maritimum)
