#1 - definitely an artemisia. Probably mugwort but it's hard to say for sure with the young leaves. The mature leaves have a different look and in short order, you'll know for sure. #2 - Besides the weeds, I see both catnip and lemon balm. #3 - Agreed, some geum. #4 - Definitely feverfew.

"I thought the stone pine, the cedars, Vitis vinifera, the fig-trees and some of the cypresses you mentioned were native to this Mediterranean area and not introduced by men here" The Mediterranean is a large area; most of the species Tunilla names are only native to small parts of it, not the whole area. Stone Pine Pinus pinea: definitely native in Portugal, and southern & central Spain only. Other populations likely naturalised from ancient human cultivation. Lebanon Cedar Cedrus libani: naitve in the Atlas Mountains (subsp. atlantica) and Turkey to Lebanon (subsp. libani). Mediterranean Cypress Cupressus sempervirens: native to Crete, southern Turkey, and Cyrenaica (Libya) only. All populations north of the Med and west of Crete are cultivated origin. Vitis vinifera is the exception in being native across almost the entire Med. Resin

Common name for the plant is drunkard's dream. It's very easy to root. Just take a 3" piece of the plant and stick the cutting in a pot of soil, after it's had a chance to dry for a couple of days. Mike
