The present-day mellophone has three valves, operated with the right hand (1- and 2- valve mellophone bugles have been used in the past). Mellophone fingerings are the same as the trumpet. [3] It is typically pitched lower, in the key of F or E ♭. The overtone series of the F mellophone is an octave above that of the F horn.
Myrrh gum has often been claimed to reduce the symptoms of indigestion, ulcers, colds, cough, asthma, respiratory congestion, arthritis, and cancer, although more good scientific evidence is needed to support these uses.

In warm conditions it tends to bolt to seed, [3] producing much-branched stems with clusters of flowers. The flowers have a bluish-white corolla of five fused petals, 1.5 to 2 mm (1 ⁄ 16 to 5 ⁄ 64 in) long and wide, and three stamens. At the base of the corolla is a whorl of bracts.
Potentilla / ˌ p oʊ t ən ˈ t ɪ l ə / [1] is a genus containing over 500 species of annual, biennial and perennial herbaceous flowering plants in the rose family, Rosaceae.. Potentillas may also be called cinquefoils in English, but they have also been called five fingers and silverweeds.
The flowers are numerous, produced in a large branched inflorescence 30 to 70 cm (1.0 to 2.3 ft) tall; each flower is 5 to 12 mm (0.2 to 0.5 in) long, with six green to yellow-green tepals. The fruit is a capsule 1.5 to 3 cm (0.6 to 1.2 in) long, which splits into three sections at maturity to release the numerous flat 8 to 10 mm (0.3 to 0.4 in ...
The flowers, which superficially resemble dandelions, bear scale-leaves on the long stems in early spring. The leaves of coltsfoot, which appear after the flowers have set seed, wither and die in the early summer. The flower heads are of yellow florets with an outer row of bracts. The plant is typically 10–30 cm (3.9–11.8 in) in height.
