medicin plant desert poinsettia


Euphorbia eriantha

Photographer: Mark A. Dimmitt ID: ASDM00236Copyright: © 2004 ASDMHow Can I Use This Image?Date: March 2004Location: Tucson Mts., AZ
Scientific Name: Euphorbia erianthaEnglish Name: desert poinsettia, beetle spurgeSpanish Name: golondrina
View all images of Euphorbia erianthaThis species is present in the Arizona-Sonora Desert Museum's live collection.
Euphorbiaceae (spurge family)
The 8000 worldwide species of spurges are as ecologically diverse as the composites. They occupy most habitats and exhibit nearly every growth form used by plants. In fact, annuals, perennials, trees, succulents, C3, C4, and CAM species can all be found in the single genus Euphorbia. Until recently this genus contained the little weedy spurges in our gardens, the spectacular Christmas poinsettia (which originated in tropical Mexico), and African succulents — some of which are nearly perfect mimics of the New World cacti. Now some taxonomists raise many of our species previously in a subgenus Chamaesyce to the genus Chamaesyce.
Recognizing such a diverse family by vegetative characteristics is virtually impossible. In most species the inflorescence is a cyathium, a single female flower with its distinctive three-lobed ovary surrounded by a number of male flowers consisting of a single stamen each. The male cyathia may have colorful bracts that resemble petals (e.g., crown of thorns — Euphorbia milii), and some species have colored leaves that serve the same function (e.g., poinsettia, Euphorbia pulcherrima). In some species male and female flowers are borne on separate plants. A few genera produce more typical flowers with true sepals and petals. The poinsettia is one of the largest ornamental nursery crops; tens of millions are produced annually for the Christmas season. Other economically important examples include manihot (the source of cassava and tapioca) and castor bean (the source of the once-popular health remedy, castor oil).

A.- Summarize the events. (Write the plot in a cause effect sequence)
First:
It was a girl named Squeaky that had a brother with disable problems, she needed to take care of him, everybody laughed about him,Squeaky had an ability she runs very fast run.
Then:
She entered to the compite because she was very fast,there she had a rival named Gretchen but knew that she was better than her so she didnt have problem.
After:
When she was in the race she looked to the left and she had Gretchen and then she lookd to the right and she had her brother,she didnt say anything because she saw him very happy.
Finally:
She won the race and she decided to entrain her borther so thst he can win the next race.

B.- Explain the conflict and the attitute toward disabled people presented in the story.
In the story i saw that many people make fun of disabled people and some times that you say it can happend to everyone and i'll dont make fun of the person when you see a disable people you cannot even realizad that you make a bad face to him o her or that you are laughing about him.
and that's the attitude that i saw in the story, and that you have to be nice to everybody even though that person doesn't make you happy(fake it until you make it).


C.- Write comments in your peers`BLOGS!

C.- Write a synthesis of the story in your BLOG.

The story is about a girl that lived in a city but about her parents problems she needed to move to Cincinnati.She didnt express anything she was very close but at the beginning she was very because she didnt know anybody.She loved to go to the supermarket and something happened,she got in love with a bag boy.the problem was that both were very shy so it was very difficult to see each other and they could be beside her or him and they wouldnt talk.
