The evergreen

One of such rare forms is dwarfish [grozdovik] or [grozdovik] of simple (Botrychium of simplex). It grows in North America, where it is extended more widely over the more compact area; in Europe; however, it is possible to reveal only in the form separate brushwood. This means that this form is rare and must be found under the protection in entire Europe. In Latvia there are several places, where it is possible to reveal this small (3-10 cm by height), imperceptible plant - on the dry edges of the woods, on the sandy hills, and predominantly on the coast of Gulf of Riga. Dwarfish [grozdovik] is not similar to the usual fern - its sheet it consists of two parts, one of which sterile and looks like usual sheet, and a kind of the ear on [stebelke]; the latter is the fertile part, on which are formed the disputes. Yew-tree is European Yew-tree European (Taxus of baccata) - the evergreen coniferous tree or bushes, is more similar to the juniper, which usually concealed grows in the underbrush. Yew-tree is sometimes called German juniper, however, between the yew-tree and juniper there is no connection whatever. Yew-tree - this is one of the ancient plants, which exists 200 million years. In Latvia the remainders of yew-tree were discovered in coast silted deposits Of [letitsy] (Letiza) from the inflow Of [venty] (Venta), by which 150 million years. Thus, yew-tree is one of the earliest gradually endangered species of trees. The process of extinction is accelerated by pitiless cutting down of forest for putting out this durable and beautiful mahogany. In our time the tree of yew-tree is used for preparing of the expensive furniture and other valuable objects. Under the conditions of the climate of Latvia the height of yew-tree does not exceed 12 m, and, as far as we know, there are not [tisovykh] trees older than 300 years. (Latvia it is very North Western boundary for the yew-tree). Record holder is [tisovoe] the tree, which is tall on the slope of blue mountain in [Dundage]; when they cut down it during the Second World War, its diameter was 46 cm, and age of approximately 300 years.
