• Aethionema diastrophis — Scientific name of a perennial stonecress species from the Aethionema genus, native to the mountainous and arid regions of Asia Minor, structurally characterized by stems woody at the base, compact glaucous leaves, and dense inflorescences with delicate intense pink flowers. The plant is of particular interest in phytogeography studies and is prized by collectors for its ability to colonize arid rocky crevices.
• Aethionema grandiflorum — Scientific name of the Persian stonecress, a perennial species from the Aethionema genus, native to the mountainous regions of the Caucasus, Iran, and Turkey, considered one of the most spectacular in the genus.

This plant is structurally characterized by short, trailing stems, small, oval, silvery or glaucous leaves, and dense inflorescences with white or pale pink flowers, resembling the genus Iberis in appearance, making it a highly appreciated niche species in rockeries.
• Aethionema pulchellum — Scientific name of a perennial dwarf stonecress species from the Aethionema genus, native to the calcareous mountainous regions of Turkey, Iran, and the Caucasus. This plant is structurally characterized by trailing or ascending stems, small glaucous-blue leaves, and dense, spherical inflorescences made of numerous delicate pink-purple flowers, being a species highly prized in rock garden landscaping due to its compact habit.
• Scratching — The act of scratching or scoring and its result; the process through which a surface is lightly scratched, notched, or marked with a sharp or pointed object. It represents a nominalized form used in rural language to define a fine cut, a guiding notch in woodwork, or a slight epidermal injury caused accidentally.
• Silting up — The act of clogging and its result; a natural or accidental process through which a riverbed or drainage channel becomes blocked due to the massive accumulation of alluvium, silt, gravel, and woody debris transported by floods. This phenomenon causes a reduction in the flow cross-section and the silting up of the watercourse.
• Agost — An archaic, colloquial, or regional Romanian noun variant for the month of August; historically documented in medieval chronicles and western subdialects. It strongly aligns with the traditional folk calendar markings for harvest time.

• Star-of-Bethlehem — A regional popular name given in Romanian flora to the species Ornithogalum umbellatum, known literarily as 'bălușcă' (star-of-Bethlehem), or to wild varieties of Allium that develop small underground bulbs and fine inflorescences. From a structural standpoint, the plant is distinguished by slender stems, linear leaves crossed by a white central stripe, and star-shaped flowers of outstanding aesthetic purity, growing wildly in damp meadows or clearings. The term holds significant ethnobotanical value, being historically integrated into rural beliefs as an indicator plant of spring soil quality.
