-Describe the plant here...
+'''''Gypsophila paniculata''''', commonly known as ''Baby's-breath'', is a cultivated ornamental flower popular in the florist trade, and originally from [[Eastern Europe]]. There are some 55 species of ''Gypsophila'' found in Europe, Asia and the Eastern Mediterranean. It is cultivated in Peru corresponding to a large portion of this country's flowers exports<ref>http://www.mapa.es/ministerio/pags/biblioteca/revistas/pdf_hortint/hortint_1995_10_101_104.pdf</ref>. It belongs to the family [[Caryophyllaceae]], which includes the common [[Dianthus caryophyllus|carnation]]. Its natural habitat is on the steppes in dry, sandy and stony places, often on [[calcareous]] soils (''gypsophila'' = "chalk-loving"). Specimens of this plant were first sent to [[Linnaeus]] from [[St Petersburg]] by the Swiss-Russian botanist [[Johann Amman]].
