It reaches between 20 and 60 cm in height, with branched stems covered in glandular hairs, pinnate compound leaves, and white, pink, or violet flowers that give way to short, inflated pods containing one or two seeds. Like all legumes, it fixes atmospheric nitrogen through symbiosis with Rhizobium bacteria, improving the fertility of the soil where it is grown.
Endive
Cichorium endivia
Endive (Cichorium endivia) is an annual or biennial herbaceous plant in the Asteraceae family, native to the Mediterranean region. It produces rosettes of broad or curly green leaves with a characteristic mildly bitter flavor. Widely cultivated as a leafy vegetable, it is enjoyed both raw in salads and cooked in soups and sautéed dishes. It can develop pale blue to violet flowers on tall stems that tower above the foliage.
Chicory
Cichorium intybus
Chicory (Cichorium intybus) is a hardy herbaceous perennial in the daisy family, prized for its sky-blue, dandelion-like flowers that open at dawn and close by early afternoon. Native to Europe, western Asia and North Africa, it now grows wild across temperate regions worldwide. The plant forms a basal rosette of jagged leaves in its first year, then sends up tall, branching flower stalks up to 1.5 m. Both the bitter leaves and the long taproot are edible, and the roasted root has long served as a coffee substitute.
Creeping Thistle
Cirsium arvense
Creeping Thistle (Cirsium arvense) is a perennial herbaceous plant known as one of the world's most persistent weed species. It forms dense colonies thanks to a deep and widely branched underground root system that can reach several meters into the soil. The stems are upright, 30–150 cm tall, and bear deeply lobed, heavily spiny leaves. During the summer months, abundant, fragrant flower heads in purple to pink shades are produced, providing an important nectar source for bees, butterflies, and other pollinators — indeed, one of the most nectar-producing wild herbs in the UK. Despite its status as a troublesome agricultural weed, creeping thistle has a long tradition in folk medicine and is edible.
Melancholy thistle
Cirsium heterophyllum

Veldt Grape
Cissus quadrangularis
Cissus quadrangularis is a fast-growing succulent vine in the grape family (Vitaceae), native to tropical Africa, the Arabian Peninsula, and the Indian subcontinent. Its most distinctive feature is a thick, four-angled (quadrangular), jointed stem that resembles a chain of fleshy green segments, letting the plant climb by tendril or trail attractively from a hanging basket. Small three-lobed leaves appear at the nodes and often drop in dry conditions, leaving the sculptural stems as the main ornamental feature. In Ayurvedic medicine it is known as Hadjod or Asthisamharaka ("bone-setter") for its long history of use in supporting bone and joint health.
Grape Ivy
Cissus rhombifolia
Cissus rhombifolia, commonly known as Grape Ivy, is a vigorous tropical climbing plant from the Vitaceae family, native to Central and South America. Its trifoliate, deep-green glossy leaves with rust-colored hairs on the undersides make it one of the most attractive indoor vining plants. It thrives in hanging baskets, trained on trellises, or allowed to cascade from shelves. A naturally resilient plant, it adapts well to typical indoor conditions with minimal care.
Seasonvine
Cissus verticillata
Cissus verticillata, popularly known as the Insulin Plant, is a vigorous perennial vine native to the Americas. Its leaves are green, oval, and glossy, but its most striking feature is the long, reddish aerial roots that descend from its branches, creating a natural curtain effect. It is an extremely resilient plant, capable of quickly covering fences, pergolas, and walls, and is also highly valued in traditional medicine.
Montpellier rockrose
Cistus monspeliensis
The Montpellier rockrose is a low, bushy, evergreen Mediterranean shrub (50 to 120 cm) typical of garrigue and maquis landscapes.
