- Stavesacre — An old scientific name or highly rare traditional pharmaceutical term historically used for the botanical species Delphinium staphisagria (stavesacre), a toxic plant whose seeds contain potent alkaloids. In old European empirical medical recipes or ancient botanical glossaries, its extracts were used strictly externally to control structural capillary parasites.
- Mulberry cluster — An archaic or regional collective noun used in certain Romanian dialects to denote the entirety of fallen or gathered mulberry fruits (dude), or a small, spontaneous orchard consisting of trees from the Morus genus.
- Aldrovandi — An Italian proper surname, famous in the scientific community due to Ulisse Aldrovandi, a celebrated Renaissance naturalist, physician, and philosopher, considered one of the fathers of modern natural history studies. He established one of the first university botanical gardens and gathered a vast collection of biological specimens, his name being immortalized in taxonomy through various plant and animal genera or species dedicated to his memory.
- Hazel tree — A rare, archaic, or regional phonetic variant used in certain popular dialects to denote the hazel bush or a specific variety of dwarf wild hazel. The term is found isolated in historical agricultural documents or local folklore from sub-Carpathian areas, referring to the spontaneous flora used for twigs.
- Arisaema japonicum — Scientific name historically or regionally associated with cobra lily populations native to the Japanese archipelago, often classified in modern taxonomy under the Arisaema serratum complex. The plant is characterized by an elegant, dark green or purple spathe, often with white stripes, and fan-shaped divided leaves, being an iconic element in the shaded, damp forests of Japan.
