Curlie

In the alphabetical plant categories, you will find plants arranged by genus, listed by botanical (latin) name and, where appropriate, by common name. The botanical names are listed at the top, the common names at the bottom.

Submit informational sites about plants directly to the most appropriate subcategory at the genus level. If a subcategory for the genus does not yet exist, you may submit the site directly to a letter category - choose the first letter of the botanical genus name. If the site features plants in more than one genus, please submit it to the most appropriate subject subcategory within the Plants category (e.g., Houseplants, Perennials, Bulbs).

Echinacea

Informational sites about coneflowers in the echinacea genus. Purple coneflower is the most commonly grown member of this genus, but there are also yellow and white representatives.

This category is for informational sites about growing echinacea coneflowers in a home garden setting. Sites about the herbal and medicinal qualities of echinacea belong in different categories, for example:

Health/Animal/Alternative_Medicine/Herbs/Echinacea
Health/Alternative/Herbs/Materia_Medica/Echinacea
Health/Pharmacy/Drugs_and_Medications/E/Echinacea

Epimedium

Epimedium is a genus of evergreen and deciduous groundcover plants particularly useful for damp shady gardens. They are valued for both flower and foliage.

Please submit sites describing Epimedium species and their cultivation. Commercial sites do not belong in this category.

Epiphyllum

Informational sites about the culture and enjoyment of epiphyllum cacti.

Sites focusing more on the scientific and botanical aspects of epiphyllums than on their culture are better suited for the category in Biology.

Sites offering mail order sales of epiphyllums should be submitted to Shopping. Local retailers of cacti are placed in the most category in Regional where the business is located. Wholesale growers and suppliers of cacti are listed in Horticulture.

Eranthis

Eranthis is a small genus of dwarf midwinter flowering tuberous perennials with white or yellow flowers.

Please submit sites with original content covering descriptions and cultivation advice, particularly for less well known species.

Eryngium

Eryngiums or Sea Hollies are highly ornamental herbaceous plants. The tall spiky flower heads are often silver or blue with a distinctive metallic sheen, and give the plants an architectural quality in the herbaceous border. The European species are quite different in appearance to those native to the Americas.

Detailed descriptions with photographs of individual species or cultivars are welcome here, as are articles on cultivation.
