Amidst the breathtaking beauty of the Alps in Europe, two distinct entities share the name "hirsutum": the Mexican cotton plant, Gossypium hirsutum (DDE-90028978), with its soft, white fibers, and the Great Hairy Willow-herb, Epilobium hirsutum. Contrastingly, the European sea heath, Frankenia pulverulenta, also known as the Hairy Frankenia, sports a hirsute appearance. Meanwhile, in the world of fungi, wood-decay fungus and cauliflower fungus (unspecified) join the hirsute roster. Delve deeper into the natural world, and you'll find the Hairy Alpine-rose, Rhododendron hirsutum, near Sorapis Lake in the Dolomites, South Tirol, Italy. This Garland Rhododendron, with its snow-kissed petals, adds another layer of texture and intrigue to the already captivating landscape. As we marvel at these hirsute wonders, let us remember the intricate connections that bind all living beings, from the cotton sprig (Gossypium hirsutum, DDE-90028977) to the ephemeral bloom of the Alpine-rose.
