Alcea setosa Alcea setosa Alcea setosa, the bristly hollyhock, is an ornamental plant in the family Malvaceae. The bristly hollyhock is native to the Levant, ranging from Crete and Turkey to Israel and Jordan. The part above ground of the plant withers and dies in the summer. In the winter, a rosette of flowers develops and a vertical flowering stem grows out of it. The pink flowers are numerous and large, while in the Galilee and the Carmel the flowers are darker and in the Gilboa and Samaria the flowers are lighter. The whole plant is bristly, hence its common name. The
Clonostachys rosea f. rosea penetrate, and grow inside the hyphae and conidia of "B. cinerea". Nematodes are infected by "C. rosea" when the fungus' conidia attach to their cuticle and germinate, going on to produce germ tubes which penetrate the host's body and kill it. In 2008 an isolate of "Clonostachys rosea" (NRRL 50072) was identified as producing a series of volatile compounds that are similar to some existing fuels. However, the taxonomy of this isolate was later revised to "Ascocoryne sarcoides". Clonostachys rosea f. rosea Clonostachys rosea f. rosea, also known as Gliocladium roseum, is a species of fungus in the family Bionectriaceae.
