Round/Globular... this type of plant material form has a distinct rounded or spherical shape. European beech(Fagus sylvatica), silver linden(Tilia tomentosa), Japanese maple(Acer palmatum), Cornelian cherry dogwood(Cornus mas), and Indian laurel fig(Ficus microcarpa) are all examples of globular plant form. Rounded plant forms are one of the most numerous types of plant forms and therefore typically constitute the majority of plants used in a design composition... rounded plants are nondirectional and neutral in their ability to lead the eye. Therefore globular plants can be easily used to give a design unity by their repetition throughout the composition. They can serve as the neutral, soft plant form against which the other more striking forms are opposed. 1, record 1, English, - round%20plant%20form

A small oval shining black flea beetle (Epitrix cucumeris) that injures the leaves of various plants. 2, record 2, English, - potato%20flea%20beetle
Record number: 2, Textual support number: 1 CONT
The potato flea beetle is primarily a pest of potato but it also attacks cucumber, eggplant, pepper, tomato and such other plants as jimsonweed, tobacco, large white petunia, groundcherry and bittersweet... Feeding injury, whether by adults on potato leaves in spring or late summer, or by larvae on tubers and roots and transmission of plant pathogens, are all potential ways in which this flea beetle may reduce potato yields both in terms of quality and quantity. Adult feeding on leaves results in rounded feeding scars, 0. 1 to 5 mm in diameter, which usually penetrate through the leaf to form a hole. 3, record 2, English, - potato%20flea%20beetle

L'altise de la pomme de terre attaque surtout la pomme de terre, mais aussi le concombre, l'aubergine, le poivron, la tomate et d'autres plantes comme la stramoine, le tabac, le grand pétunia blanc, la cerise de terre et le doux-amer [...] Les dégâts causés par l'altise en s'alimentant réduisent la quantité et la qualité des tubercules lorsque les insectes adultes se nourrissent des feuilles de pommes de terre au printemps et à la fin de l'été ou lorsque les larves se nourrissent sur les tubercules ou sur les racines; l'altise peut également transmettre des agents pathogènes aux plants. Les feuilles attaquées sont percées de petits trous de 0,1 à 5 mm de diamètre, et elles ont bientôt l'apparence de feuilles criblées de trous lorsque la population d'altises est élevée. 2, record 2, French, - altise%20de%20la%20pomme%20de%20terre
