Lewisia Lewisia is a plant genus, named for Meriwether Lewis who encountered the species in 1806. The native habitat of "Lewisia" species is north facing cliffs in the western part of North America. Local Native Americans ate the roots, which have also been used to treat sore throats.

Heliconia Heliconia, derived from the Greek word "helikonios", is a genus of flowering plants in the family Heliconiaceae. Most of the ca 194 known species are native to the tropical Americas, but a few are indigenous to certain islands of the western Pacific and Maluku. Many species of "Heliconia" are found in rainforests or tropical wet forests of these regions. Several species are widely cultivated as ornamentals, and a few are naturalized in Florida, Gambia and Thailand. Common names for the genus include lobster-claws, toucan peak, wild plantains or false bird-of-paradise. The last term refers to their close similarity to the bird-of-paradise flowers ("Strelitzia"). Collectively, these plants are also simply referred to as "heliconias".

Laurentia Laurentia or the North American Craton is a large continental craton that forms the ancient geological core of the North American continent. Many times in its past, Laurentia has been a separate continent, as it is now in the form of North America, although originally it also included the cratonic areas of Greenland and also the northwestern part of Scotland, known as the Hebridean Terrane. During other times in its past, Laurentia has been part of larger continents and supercontinents and itself consists of many smaller terranes assembled on a network of Early Proterozoic orogenic belts. Small microcontinents and oceanic islands collided with and sutured onto the ever-growing Laurentia, and together formed the stable Precambrian craton seen today.

Helicene In organic chemistry, helicenes are ortho-condensed polycyclic aromatic compounds in which benzene rings or other aromatics are angularly annulated to give helically-shaped molecules. The chemistry of helicenes has attracted continuing attention because of their unique structural, spectral, and optical features.

Thalia (nymph) In Greek mythology, Thalia (Greek: Θάλεια "Tháleia" or Θάλια "Thália", "the Joyous, the Flourishing", from θάλλειν / thállein, "to flourish, to be green") is a nymph, the child of Hephaestus. She is also given as an anthropomorphic secondary deity of plant life and shoots, possibly as the culmination of the transmission of knowledge on volcanic ash's use as a fertiliser, characteristic of ancient viticulture in volcanic soils such as those of the island of Santorini.

Thrinacia Thrinakia (Ancient Greek: Θρινακία , ] ), also called Trinacria or Tarnationus, is the island home of Helios's cattle in Book XII of Homer's "Odyssey", guarded by Helios' eldest daughter, Lampetia. It is sometimes said to have been Sicily, since the name "Thrinacia" could be taken to imply a connection to the number three (Greek "treis, tria" sounds vaguely similar to Thri-) and Sicily has three corners (cf. Trinacria, an alternate name for Sicily). However, the island is also associated with Malta, and that Sicily is often identified with the episode of the Cyclopes only serves to underscore the shaky footing any geographer is on when trying to identify Homer's locations.
