• Aërangis biloba — A popular species of epiphytic orchid in the genus Aerangis, native to a wide range of tropical West and Central Africa. It is structurally recognized by its obovate leaves that feature an asymmetrically split tip forming two distinct lobes (bilobed), and by pendulous spikes bearing up to twenty star-like, white flowers with pale pink hues on their short spurs, heavily fragrant at night.
• Aerides — A genus of tropical epiphytic orchids in the family Orchidaceae, native to South and Southeast Asia (from India to the Philippines and New Guinea). They are structurally characterized by vigorous monopodial growth, thick and long aerial roots, and densely clustered pendulous inflorescences with spectacular, heavily fragrant flowers, typically white, pink, or purple, featuring a characteristic forward-pointing spur.
• Aërides cylindricum — A rare species of epiphytic orchid in the genus Aerides, family Orchidaceae, native to the mountainous regions of Southern India. It is structurally characterized by unique, terete, cylindrical leaves adapted to reduce water loss, and by short spikes bearing large, solitary or few-clustered flowers, which are white with pale pink or violet hues on the lip, heavily fragrant.
• Aërides falcatum — A remarkable ornamental species of epiphytic orchid in the family Orchidaceae, native to Southeast Asia (Thailand, Vietnam, Laos, Cambodia, and Myanmar). It is structurally characterized by robust monopodial growth, strap-like, rigid leaves slightly curved like a sickle (falcate), and long, pendulous inflorescences bearing numerous creamy-white flowers with spectacular bright pink-violet blotches on the tips and lip, heavily fragrant.
• Aërides odoratum — The type and highly popular species of tropical epiphytic orchid in the genus Aerides, family Orchidaceae, native to a wide range of South and Southeast Asia. It is structurally characterized by long and robust monopodial stems, strap-like fleshy leaves, and densely packed pendulous inflorescences bearing numerous white or creamy flowers with purple spots at the tips, renowned for their sweet and intense fragrance resembling lemon or jasmine.
• Allium flavum — The scientific name of an ornamental onion species in the family Amaryllidaceae, native to the Mediterranean region, Central and Eastern Europe (including the spontaneous flora of Romania), commonly known as 'yellow allium'. The plant produces unique, airy, and nodding fireworks-like inflorescences, composed of bell-shaped flowers of a bright lemon-yellow color, with a sweet and pleasant fragrance.
• Allium roseum — The scientific name of an ornamental onion species in the family Amaryllidaceae, native to the Mediterranean region, commonly known as 'rosy garlic'. The plant produces spherical or hemispherical umbel inflorescences composed of large cup-shaped or star-shaped flowers of a pale pink, candy pink, or whitish color, possessing a fine, pleasant fragrance and making it an ideal species for mass naturalization.
• Night-scented lily — A species of perennial tropical plant in the Araceae family, native to the warm temperate and tropical regions of East and Southeast Asia (Japan, China, Indochina). The plant is notable for its large size, vigorous stems, and large, upright, heart-to-arrow-shaped glossy green leaves, but most notably for its fragrant inflorescences, from which its specific epithet is derived.
• Alseuosmia — A genus of perennial woody plants, small shrubs native to the temperate and subtropical regions of New Zealand and Australia, representing the type genus of the Alseuosmiaceae family. These shrubs stand out structurally due to their glossy alternate leaves and axillary tubular flowers, often intensely fragrant, studied in botanical taxonomy due to their isolated evolutionary position.
• Alseuosmia macrophylla — The scientific Latin designation for the most representative shrub species within the Alpinia genus, Alseuosmiaceae family, endemic to the moist forests of New Zealand, popularly known as toropapa. This shade-loving plant stands out structurally due to its large, glossy, and lanceolate leaves (macrophylla) and its highly fragrant, reddish or yellowish tubular flowers, utilized as an ecological indicator of intact forest ecosystems.
• Ancistrochilus thompsonianus — The most well-known species in the Ancistrochilus genus, an epiphytic orchid native to Nigeria, Cameroon, and Gabon, renowned for its spectacular, fragrant flowers with pure white or pale pink sepals and petals that contrast sharply with a deep magenta, three-lobed lip ending in a sharp, recurved point. The plant drops its leaves during its dormancy period, and inflorescences emerge directly from the base of the mature, flattened-conical pseudobulb.
• Snowdrop anemone — A species of perennial herbaceous plant in the family Ranunculaceae, native to dry grasslands, woodland edges, and sunny clearings of Central and Eastern Europe to Siberia. Commonly known as the snowdrop anemone or wood anemone, this vigorous plant is remarkable for its dense clumps, deeply lobed leaves, and large, solitary or paired pure white flowers with a delicate fragrance and bright yellow central stamens, followed by woolly seed heads.
• Aponogeton distachyus — A species of perennial aquatic plant in the genus Aponogeton, native to the Western Cape province of South Africa, naturalized in various temperate regions, and commonly known as water hawthorn or waterblommetjie. It is characterized by elongated, oval floating leaves and distinctive bifurcated inflorescences with dual spikes bearing highly fragrant white flowers with a sweet vanilla-like scent, cultivated as an ornamental pond plant or traditionally used as a local culinary vegetable.
• Aromatic — Having a pleasant, distinctive, and intense scent or flavor; fragrant, scented. In organic chemistry, it denotes a class of cyclic unsaturated compounds (aromatic hydrocarbons) possessing high structural stability due to delocalized electrons, with benzene as the primary representative.
• Aromatic — The feminine singular form of the adjective 'aromat'; possessing a pleasant, fine, and intense fragrance or flavor. In botany, it describes plants (aromatic herbs) that synthesize volatile essential oils used for seasoning, pharmaceutical, or cosmetic purposes.
• Aromatic — Having a pleasant and fragrant scent; scented. In organic chemistry, it characterizes a major class of unsaturated cyclic compounds (such as benzene) stabilized by electron delocalization. As a noun, it denotes a substance used as a flavoring or scent.
