Apocynum Cannabinum Apocynum Cannabinum Introduction: The dropsies of Apocynum are general dropsies with or without organic disease; swelling of every part of the body; cardiac dropsies. The excretions are diminished, especially urine and sweat. Hydrocephalus has been cured with it: "Child lying in stupor, with constant involuntary motion of one arm and leg." "Paralysis of left side; one eye motionless, one rolling." Increases secretions of mucous and serous membranes and acts on cellular tissue, producing oedema and dropsy and on skin causing diaphoresis. Acute hydrocephalus. A diminished frequency of the pulse is a prime indication. This is one of our most efficient remedies, in dropsies, ascites, anasarca and hydrothorax, and urinary troubles, especially suppression and strangury and as such it occupies a place as important as that of Apis. In the digestive complaints of Bright's disease, with the nausea, vomiting, drowsiness, difficult breathing, it will be found of frequent service. The dropsy is characterized by great thirst and gastric irritability. Arrhythmia. Mitral and tricuspid regurgitation. Acute alcoholism. Relaxation of sphincters. Three cases of neuralgia of the right side ─ groin, hip, and in one case region of right kidney─have been cured with this remedy. Hale says the kidneys are the peculiar seat of the operation of the drug, and that it is in renal dropsies that it is especially curative. It has cured diabetes insipidus with "a sense of sinking in the pit of the stomach with great debility." Haemorrhages, especially menorrhagia, and haemorrhages at the change of life have been cured with it. Hale has found it restore the menses when given in cases of dropsy. Scientific Name: Apocynum cannabinum L. Synonyms: Dogbane; Amy root; Indian hemp; Hemp dogbane; Prairie dogbane; Black Indian hemp; Apocynum hypericifolium; A. pubescens; A. sibiricum; Wild cotton. French: Chanre du canad. German: Canadische andische hanfwurzel. Source: Vegetable kingdom is the main source of Apocynum cannabinum. It belongs to the family Apocynaceae. It is a perennial herbaceous plant that grows throughout much of North America - in the southern half of Canada and throughout the United States. It is a poisonous plant: Apocynum means "poisonous to dogs". All parts of the plant are poisonous and can cause cardiac arrest if ingested. The cannabinum in the scientific name and the common names hemp dogbane and Indian hemp refer to its similarity to Cannabis as a fiber plant, rather than as a 1 source of a psychoactive drug. Although dogbane is poisonous to livestock, it likely got its name from its resemblance to a European species of the same name. It grows in open wooded areas, ditches, and hillsides. It is found in gravelly or sandy soil, mainly near streams in shady or moist places. A. cannabinum grows up to 2 meters/6 feet tall. The stems are erect, reddish, grow upto 4 feet in height and contain a milky latex capable of causing skin blisters and assurgently branching, not bifurcating. The leaves are opposite petiolate, simple broad lanceolate, 7–15 cm long and 3–5 cm broad, entire, and smooth on top with white hairs on the underside and sometimes sessile or nearly so those at the bases of the branches single, sessile and larger. Inflorescence close, erect cymes; It flowers from July to August, has large sepals, and a five- lobed greenish-white smaller corolla; tube not longer than the calyx lobes; lobes erect. The flowers are hermaphrodite (have both male and female organs) and are pollinated by moths and butterflies. The fruit is in pods, 3 to 5 inches long, slender and pendulous. Root bark grayish-brown; wood yellowish, soft, porous; pith minute or not evident. Parts used: The fresh root. Composition: Tincture θ. Drug Strength 1/10 Active ingredient: Apocynum cannabinum, fresh pulp containing solids 100 gm. And plant moisture approximately 233 cc. = 333 gm. Excipients: Distilled water = 167 cc.

  • Ipomopsis Sancti-Spiritus in Holy Ghost Canyon with and Without Management Intervention JOYCE MASCHINSKI the Arboretum at Flagstaff
    Extinction Risk of Ipomopsis sancti-spiritus in Holy Ghost Canyon With and Without Management Intervention JOYCE MASCHINSKI The Arboretum at Flagstaff Abstract: Small populations are threatened with deterministic and stochastic events that can drive the number of individuals below a critical threshold for survival. Long-term studies allow us to increase our understanding of processes required for their conservation. In the past 7 years, the population of the federally endangered Holy Ghost ipomopsis (Ipomopsis sancti-spiritus) in Holy Ghost Canyon has fluctuated widely from 2047 to 372 plants. Meta- population analysis of average Leslie matrices suggested that I. sancti-spiritus has a high probability of extinction; 60 percent of the demographic transects have negative growth rates. Transects with the greatest likelihood of remaining occupied, the highest h values, and the greatest source of new propagules for maintaining the species in Holy Ghost Canyon are in the sunny lower part of the canyon. In comparison, transects at the top of the canyon have fewer individuals and lower probability of remaining occupied. With management inter- vention to disperse propagules from more fecund to less fecund areas'of the canyon, meta- population modeling indicated decreased (but still a high) risk of extinction within the next 50 years. Thus, although seed augmentation and habitat improvement can improve the chances for I. sancti-spiritus persistence in Holy Ghost Canyon, the species remains at high risk of extinction. Small populations are threatened with determin- rose (Rosa woodsii), poison ivy (Toxicodendron yd- istic and stochastic events that can drive the num- bergii), Indian hemp (Apocynum cannabinum), west- ber of individuals below a critical threshold for ern yarrow (Achilliea millefolium), white ragweed survival (Shaffer 1987, Holsinger 2000).

Arka (C. procera ) an important drug of Ayurveda is known from the earliest time. Traditionally Calotropis is used alone or with other medicines to treat common disease such as fevers, rheumatism, indigestion, cough, cold, eczema, asthma, elephantiasis, nausea, vomiting, and diarrhea. The plant is poisonous can lead to blindness if its juice is put in to the eyes. The silky hairs are using to stuff pillows. The wood is used in impoverished desert areas for a cooking fuel. The stem is useful for making ropes, carpets, fishing nets and sewing thread. The wood is used in making charcoal. C. procera is an ideal plant for monitoring sulphur dioxide emissions in the air. C. procera is a potential plant for bioenergy and biofuel production in semi arid regions of the country.

Plants (A), inflorescence (B), and follicle filaments attached to the seed of milkweed (C). Source: W.B. Phippen; Nature Manitoba, T. Reaume; Provincial Park, Ontario, Canada. Milkweeds, members of the genus Asclepias L., AB C are indigenous to North America. Because of their supposed medicinal properties, Linnaeus (1753) named the genus after Asklepios, the Greek God of Medicine and Healing. However, this name was originally used by Pedanius Dioscorides in his Materia Medica of 65 CE to refer to plants identified as Vincetoxicum offici- nale Moench, Apocynaceae (dogwood family of 130 genera), now generally known as swal- lowwort, named from the fruit which resembles the forked tail of the swallow; Vincetoxicum means “conquers poison.” The English transla- tion from Dioscorides by Beck (2005, p.225) is as follows: III, 92 [asklepias] The swallowwort: it sends out small sprays The Juliana Anicia Codex of 512 (Der (Hirundinaria) of Fuchs (1542) identified as on which the leaves are like those of ivy; Wiener Dioskurides, 1998, 1999) illustrating Vincetoxicum hirundinaria (Fig. 1C). it has many slender and fragrant roots, a Dioscorides’ Materia Medica has two illustra- Common milkweed (Asclepias syriaca L., syn. flower that has a heavy smell, and seed like tions of swallowwort.

  • Hemp Dogbane
    Illinois Grazing Manual Fact Sheet SPECIES • POISONOUS PLANTS Hemp Dogbane Plant Characteristics Apocynum cannabinum: Hemp dogbane, Indian hemp, Choctaw root, rheumatism weed and snake’s milk are some of the common names for this native perennial. This erect, branching, perennial can be .8 to 1.8 m (1-4 Ft.) tall with a silky sap arising from creeping, underground root stock. It reproduces by creeping roots and seeds. The leaves are opposite and ovate to elliptic, 4 to 14 cm long, 1.5 to 6 cm wide with smooth margins. The underside of the leaf is finely-hairy. Dogbane branches freely, unlike common milkweed. The flowers are white to greenish in terminal flat-topped clusters, usually overtopped by the leafy branches. The fruit is long and slender, paired drooping follicles, 10 to 22 cm long (4-8 inches) and 2 to 3 cm in diameter. The seeds are elongated and smooth. This plant is found throughout the south and much of the Midwest. It is abundant in the edges of woods, roadsides, pastures, waste areas and in some crop fields. Toxicity A resinoid and glucoside are found in the leaves and stems of this plant, whether green or dry. It is quite toxic and requires only 15-30 grams (< 1 ounce) of green leaves to kill a horse or cow. Livestock can be poisoned in spring, summer and fall. Symptoms Symptoms include increased temperature and pulse, sweating, dilated pupils and off feed, along with refusing to eat or drink. The mucous membranes (mouth and nostrils) are discolored and extremities are cold.

  • Pollen Transfer Efficiency of Apocynum Cannabinum (Apocynaceae): a Comparative Perspective
    Journal of Pollination Ecology, 22(4), 2018, pp 35-48 POLLEN TRANSFER EFFICIENCY OF APOCYNUM CANNABINUM (APOCYNACEAE): A COMPARATIVE PERSPECTIVE Tatyana Livshultz*, Sonja Hochleitner, Elizabeth Lakata Department of Biodiversity Earth and Environmental Science and Academy of Natural Sciences, Drexel University, 1900 Benjamin Franklin Parkway, Philadelphia, PA 19103-1101, U.S.A. Abstract—Pollen transfer efficiency (PTE), the percentage of removed pollen delivered to conspecific stigmas, has been implicated in the morphological evolution, population dynamics, and lineage diversification of flowering plants. Pollinia, the aggregated contents of pollen sacs, present in Apocynaceae subfamilies Asclepiadoideae (milkweeds), Secamonoideae, and Periplocoideae and orchids (Orchidaceae), are the pre-eminent example of a plant trait that elevates PTE (to ca. 25%). However, comparison of species with pollinia to “average” flowers (PTE ca. 1%) may over-estimate the gains from pollinia. We hypothesize that elevated PTE evolved in Apocynaceae prior to pollinia. We measured PTE and pollen to ovule ratio, a possible correlate of PTE, in Apocynum cannabinum, a milkweed relative with pollen tetrads (instead of pollinia) and simple bands of style head adhesive (instead of complex pollinium-carrying translators), comparing them to reports of other species collated from the literature. PTE of A. cannabinum is 7.9%, in the 24th percentile of reports for 36 milkweed species, but more than twice the highest PTE reported for a species with monads (3.4%). The bands of style head adhesive are functionally equivalent to the translators of milkweeds. The pollen to ovule ratio of A. cannabinum, at 19.8, is in the 94th percentile of ratios reported for milkweeds (mean 9.6).

Since the last submission there have been a number of developments in the industry. In November, FSANZ formally recognised and approved hemp as a food as they did not identify any safety concerns arising from the consumption of hemp foods. This is another step forward. Unfortunately, the decision by the COAG Legislative and Governance Forum on Food Regulation was not immediate and has been deferred for further investigation. There does not appear to be a defined time frame to have this matter resolved. For your reference I have also attached a recent media release from the United States regarding the introduction of a bill to allow Industrial hemp farming. The above issues highlight the need for Tasmania to become more proactive in this industry and to be supported to achieve a “first to market” approach so that Tasmania’s existing advantage is not lost. We need to take the opportunity to develop our industry now and lead rather than follow when opportunity is lost. We are in the position to make positive changes and enable a straightforward approach. Following are some issues that need to be addressed and I would ask the committee to consider them.
