Læraðr (Laerad) is a tree in Norse mythology, often identified with Yggdrasil. It stands at the top of the Valhöll . Two animals, the goat Heiðrún and the hart Eikþyrnir , graze its foliage.
The tree is called the "tree of sorrow" because the foliage becomes droopy as blooming flowers fall off during early morning. [8] The Latin specific epithet arbor-tristis means "sad tree". [ 8 ] In India and Nepal, Nyctanthes arbor-tristis is known as pārijāta (पारिजात).
Tree height is the vertical distance between the base of the tree and the highest sprig at the top of the tree. The base of the tree is measured for both height and girth as being the elevation at which the pith of the tree intersects the ground surface beneath, or "where the acorn sprouted."
The treeshrews (also called tree shrews or banxrings [3]) are small mammals native to the tropical forests of South and Southeast Asia.They make up the entire order Scandentia (from Latin scandere, "to climb"), [4] which split into two families: the Tupaiidae (19 species, "ordinary" treeshrews), and the Ptilocercidae (one species, the pen-tailed treeshrew).
The young can frequently be found on herbaceous shrubs and grasses, while the adults more often frequent hardwood tree species. Excess sap becomes concentrated as honeydew, which often attracts ants. Some species have a well-developed ant mutualism, and these species are normally gregarious as well, which attracts more ants.
Cad Goddeu (Middle Welsh: Kat Godeu, English: The Battle of the Trees) is a medieval Welsh poem preserved in the 14th-century manuscript known as the Book of Taliesin.The poem refers to a traditional story in which the legendary enchanter Gwydion animates the trees of the forest to fight as his army.
A world tree is a common motif in Persian mythology, the legendary bird Simurgh (alternatively, Saēna bird; Sēnmurw and Senmurv) perches atop a tree in the center of the sea Vourukasa. This tree is described as having all-healing properties and many seeds. [66] In another account, the tree is the very same tree of the White Hōm (Haōma). [67]
