Euglena in red

Amaranthus L. Amaranthoideae. Amaranth. Herbaceous perennial. Genus name means 'unfading' in reference to the durability of the colour in the flowers. 'Red Velvet' is a garden cultivar. Various species are used in Brazil 'to increase lactation'. Matthiolus (1569) in his commentary, unsurprisingly in view of its red flowers (the word 'flowers' is a synonym for menses), recommends Amaranthus for stopping heavy periods and leucorrhoea, as well as for coughing up blood and dysentery. Photographed in the Medicinal Garden of the Royal College of Physicians, London.

Trifolium Pratense (Red Clover)

Red blood cells from a person with sickle cell anaemia. Under conditions of low oxygen the red blood cells can form these distinctive distorted shapes. These deformed red blood cells can block small blood vessels preventing oxygen from reaching the tissues. For an oxygenated, non-sickled comparison see N0024944.

Leptospermum scoparium J.R.Forst & G.Forst Myrtaceae. New Zealand tea tree, manuka, manuka myrtle. 'Red Damask' is a cultivar with the RHS Award of Garden Merit. Distribution: New Zealand and southeast Australia. A red-flowered form. Important in New Zealand as the source for manuka honey. The leaves were reputed to have been used to make a tea by Captain James Cook (1728-1729) on his voyages to Australia and New Zealand. Johan and George Forst, father and son, were the scientists on Cook's second voyage (1772-1775). It produces an essential oil. Photographed in the Medicinal Garden of the Royal College of Physicians, London.

Leptospermum scoparium 'Red Damask'

Photograph of a pregnant red deer (Cervus elaphus) uterus with the fetus removed. The cut umbilical cord can be seen. The blood vessels have been injected with blue and red latex to make them more visible. Cotyledons (large spherical structures; blue) are the location where maternal and fetal circulation comes into contact so that nutrients can be exchanged.
