Hamamelis Virginiana 'Sunglow' (NA 78644; PI 680618) Hardiness: USDA Zones 4-8 Development: 'Sunglow’ Was Identified by Dr

U.S. National Arboretum Plant Introduction Hamamelis virginiana ‘Sunglow’ Botanical Name: Hamamelis virginiana 'Sunglow' (NA 78644; PI 680618) Hardiness: USDA Zones 4-8 Development: 'Sunglow’ was identified by Dr. Mike Arnold in a seedling row of H. virginiana planted at Tennessee Technological University in Cookeville, TN in 1988 after purchasing bare root dormant seedlings from Boyd Brothers Nursery. Significance: Hamamelis virginiana 'Sunglow’ was selected for its large, abundant bright-yellow flowers, upright growth habit, and reduced basal sprouting. Compared to other Hamamelis cultivars, 'Sunglow’ exhib- its good field tolerance to powdery mildew. Description: Height and width: 21 feet tall and 7.5 feet wide after 12 years. Habit: Upright deciduous shrub with strongly vertical branching from the base. Foliage: Dark green with distinct yellow-green midrib and veins underneath, yellowing in fall. Flowers: Abundant bright-yellow flowers with petals up to 1 inch long appear in November. Fruit: Brown, woody seed capsules may co-occur with foliage and flowers. Capsules split open in fall, ejecting 1-2 black, oval seeds up to 30 feet. Propagation: Readily propagated by softwood cuttings under mist using 2500-5000 ppm IBA. Best rooting oc- curs in June and July. Plants will flower heavily by the second season. Landscape Use: Use as a specimen to add height and fall color to the landscape, or plant as a barrier, deciduous screen, in mass plantings, or native plant display or wildlife gardens. 'Sunglow' is well-suited to smaller spaces due to its compact, upright habit. Availability: Currently limited availability. Interested wholesale growers may receive propagation material by contacting Lisa Alexander at the U.S. National Arboretum, [email protected].

The Phytochemistry of Cherokee Aromatic Medicinal Plants
medicines Review The Phytochemistry of Cherokee Aromatic Medicinal Plants William N. Setzer 1,2 1 Department of Chemistry, University of Alabama in Huntsville, Huntsville, AL 35899, USA; [email protected]; Tel.: +1-256-824-6519 2 Aromatic Plant Research Center, 230 N 1200 E, Suite 102, Lehi, UT 84043, USA Received: 25 October 2018; Accepted: 8 November 2018; Published: 12 November 2018 Abstract: Background: Native Americans have had a rich ethnobotanical heritage for treating diseases, ailments, and injuries. Cherokee traditional medicine has provided numerous aromatic and medicinal plants that not only were used by the Cherokee people, but were also adopted for use by European settlers in North America. Methods: The aim of this review was to examine the Cherokee ethnobotanical literature and the published phytochemical investigations on Cherokee medicinal plants and to correlate phytochemical constituents with traditional uses and biological activities. Results: Several Cherokee medicinal plants are still in use today as herbal medicines, including, for example, yarrow (Achillea millefolium), black cohosh (Cimicifuga racemosa), American ginseng (Panax quinquefolius), and blue skullcap (Scutellaria lateriﬂora). This review presents a summary of the traditional uses, phytochemical constituents, and biological activities of Cherokee aromatic and medicinal plants. Conclusions: The list is not complete, however, as there is still much work needed in phytochemical investigation and pharmacological evaluation of many traditional herbal medicines. Keywords: Cherokee; Native American; traditional herbal medicine; chemical constituents; pharmacology 1. Introduction Natural products have been an important source of medicinal agents throughout history and modern medicine continues to rely on traditional knowledge for treatment of human maladies [1]. Traditional medicines such as Traditional Chinese Medicine [2], Ayurvedic [3], and medicinal plants from Latin America [4] have proven to be rich resources of biologically active compounds and potential new drugs.

It is an excellent plant for naturalized settings. Culture: Common witchhazel performs best in moist soils in full sun or shade. It prefers soils that are slightly acidic or neutral, as it is not as tolerant of high pH as Hamamelis vernalis. Common witchhazel is hardy in Zones 3 to 8, possibly 9. Common witchhazel has no serious disease or insect problems, although it may develop galls on the bottom of its leaves if planted near birch trees. Botanical Characteristics: Additional information: The common name witchhazel comes from Native habitat: Canada south to Georgia, west to an old English word that means “to bend.” European Arkansas and Nebraska. species of Hamamelis were once used as divining rods to search for water. Growth habit: Large shrub or small tree with Witchhazel bark has been mixed with water large, spreading branches that form a rounded crown. and alcohol to make an astringent for sores and bruis- es. Tannins found in the bark have also been used to Tree size: 20 to 30 feet tall with a 15- to 20-foot treat hemorrhoids and in eye medications.

Witch-hazel - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Witch-hazel You can support Wikipedia by making a tax-deductible donation. Witch-hazel From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Witch-hazel (Hamamelis) is a genus of flowering plants in the Witch-hazel family Hamamelidaceae, with two species in North America (H. virginiana and H. vernalis), and one each in Japan (H. japonica) and China (H. mollis). They are deciduous shrubs or (rarely) small trees growing to 3-8 m tall, rarely to 12 m tall. The leaves are alternately arranged, oval, 4-16 cm long and 3-11 cm broad, with a smooth or wavy margin. The horticultural name means "together with fruit"; its fruit, flowers, and next year's leaf buds all appear on the branch simultaneously, a rarity among trees. [1] The flowers are sometimes produced on the leafless stems in winter, thus one alternative name for the plant, "Winterbloom". [1] Each flower has four slender strap-shaped petals 1-2 cm long, pale to dark yellow, orange, or red. The fruit is a two-part capsule 1 cm long, containing a single 5 mm glossy black seed in each of the two parts; the capsule splits explosively at maturity in the autumn about 8 months after flowering, ejecting the seeds with sufficient force to fly for distances of up to 10 m, thus another Hamamelis virginiana alternative name "Snapping Hazel". [1] Scientific classification Kingdom: Plantae Hamamelis species are used as food plants by the larvae of Division: Magnoliophyta some Lepidoptera species including Feathered Thorn. Class: Magnoliopsida The name Witch has its origins in Middle English wiche, from Order: Saxifragales the Old English wice, meaning "pliant" or "bendable".
