• Androsace — A genus of herbaceous perennial or annual plants in the family Primulaceae, commonly known as rock jasmines. Most species are structurally adapted to cold, alpine, or arctic climates, forming dense leaf rosettes and short stems to withstand strong winds and low temperatures in rocky mountain habitats.
• Androsace carnea — A species of perennial herbaceous plant in the genus Androsace, native to the mountain regions of Central and Southern Europe (notably the Pyrenees and Alps). This small botanical entity is structurally distinguished by its compact rosettes of thin, linear leaves and delicate pink or white flowers clustered in small umbels on short stems.
• Androsace chamaejasme — A species of small perennial herbaceous plant in the genus Androsace, family Primulaceae, commonly known as dwarf rock jasmine. Structurally adapted to alpine and arctic environments across Eurasia and North America, it forms dense mats or rosettes throwing up short stems with umbel-like flowers whose yellow centers change to pink or red as they age.
• Androsace helvetica — A species of perennial herbaceous plant in the family Primulaceae, endemic to high-altitude limestone rock faces in the Alps. This rare botanical entity is a classic example of a cushion plant, structurally highly adapted to vertical rock crevices where it forms tightly packed hemispheres of microscopic leaf rosettes covered by solitary white flowers.
• Androsace lanuginosa — A species of trailing perennial herbaceous plant in the family Primulaceae, native to the mountain regions of the Himalayas. This decorative botanical entity is structurally distinguished by its long, flexible stems and silvery leaves covered with silky, woolly hairs, producing umbels of pinkish-purple flowers.
• Androsace maxima — A species of annual herbaceous plant in the family Primulaceae, widespread across temperate regions of Eurasia. Unlike most alpine species of the genus, it develops in lowland habitats and is structurally characterized by a basal rosette and umbels surrounded by an involucre of large green bracts.
• Androsace primuloides — A species of stoloniferous perennial herbaceous plant in the family Primulaceae, native to the alpine regions of the Himalayas. This decorative botanical entity is structurally distinguished by its dense rosettes covered with long, silky, silvery hairs, propagating via elongated surface stolons and producing short stems with umbel-like pinkish-purple flowers.
• Androsace sarmentosa — A species of stoloniferous (sarmentose) perennial herbaceous plant in the family Primulaceae, native to alpine meadows and rocky slopes of the Himalayas. The plant structurally forms large rosettes of silvery-green leaves covered with silky hairs, which throw out rigid reddish runners for rapid substrate colonization, producing cherry-pink flowers.
• Androsace villosa — A species of small perennial herbaceous plant in the family Primulaceae, native to the mountain ranges of Europe (including the Carpathian Mountains of Romania) and Asia. This alpine botanical entity is structurally distinguished by forming dense, compact cushions or rosettes covered with long, villous, whitish hairs that insulate it from extreme cold, producing fragrant white or pale pink flowers.
• Androsterility — A biological phenomenon or genetic trait in certain plants characterized by producing sterile pollen, having atrophied stamens, or non-functional anthers, preventing self-fertilization. This structural mechanism is widely used in agriculture for the efficient large-scale production of high-yielding hybrid seeds.
• Anorgasmia — A sexual dysfunction characterized by the persistent or recurrent absence of orgasm following a sexual stimulation considered clinically, structurally, and emotionally adequate. This disorder can be primary, secondary, generalized, or situational, with complex etiologies that include psychological factors (stress, trauma, anxiety), neurological causes, endocrine dysfunctions, or drug side effects (such as antidepressants).
• Asmi — A traditional festive dessert from Sri Lanka, consisting of a crispy deep-fried sweet made from rice flour and coconut milk, thickened using the juice extracted from 'davul kurundu' leaves (wild cinnamon); the batter is poured in thin overlapping strands into hot oil to form a bird's nest structure and finally drizzled with a thick, colorful treacle or sugar syrup, serving as a staple sweet for the Sinhalese and Tamil New Year.
• Asomatophytes — A botanical term of restricted circulation used to designate a theoretical group of lower plants, microscopic fungi, or unicellular plant organisms that do not possess a well-differentiated cellular body, an organized somatic mass in tissues, or a fully formed rigid cell wall; they develop as free protoplasmic masses.
