HERBALPEDIA HYSSOP, MEXICAN GIANT Cultivation: Prefers a warm sunny sheltered position and a well-drained soil. Succeeds in most soils. Sow seed in spring in a greenhouse and only just cover the seed. The seed usually germinates in 1 - 3 months at 55°F. Prick out the seedlings into individual pots when they are large enough to handle and grow them on in the greenhouse for their first year. Plant out in late spring or early summer. Division in spring. Fairly simple, if large divisions are used it is possible to plant them straight out into their permanent positions. Basal cuttings of young shoots in spring. Harvest the young shoots when they are about 10 - 15cm tall and pot them up in a lightly shaded position in a greenhouse. They should root within 3 weeks and can be planted out in the summer or following spring. Medicinal Uses: Intensely lemon-scented leaves; used in tea and as medicine in Mexico where it is considered an important aid to digestion. It relieves flatulence, indigestion and dyspepsia, and improves appetite, and is often recommended for children. It is popular for weight control, anorexia, and central nervous system disorders.

Extracts from giant hyssop and catnip have a significant bioactivity, antibacterial and antioxidant activity (Suschke 2007; Zielińska and Matkowski, 2014; Mihaylova 2013). This literature review wants to emphasize the value of these two plants and the opportunity of using them to obtain bioactive extracts with applicability in beekeeping for different pest control. Different parts of the mentioned plants were used for the determination of active principles from macerates and essential oils.

The Agastache scrophulariifolia relatively large height of the plant makes it a good choice (Willd.) Kuntze as a background against fencing. Plant Symbol = AGSC Status Contributed by: USDA NRCS Cape May Plant Materials Please consult the PLANTS Web site and your State Department of Natural Resources for this plant’s current Center status (e.g., threatened or endangered species, state noxious status, and wetland indicator values). Description and Adaptation Description: Purple giant hyssop is a late-flowering, native perennial herb of the mint family. It can grow unusually tall for a mint; up to 6 feet, with diamond- shaped stems, aromatic foliage and flowers, and vigorous stolons. The stems are erect and form clumps. The upper braches may be purplish. The densely branched inflorescence is a 1–6 in termina l, continuous, or interrupted flower spike, or raceme. The plant usually has several spikes. The tops of the spikes develop into a flower and two lateral branches develop under the flower from a common node; giving the inflorescence a symmetrical appearance. The flower clusters persist throughout the winter. The individual flowers are ¼ in long, 15-nerved tubes that US DA-NRCS PLANTS Database / William S. Justice @ USDA-NR CS are lavender to pale pink. The upper lip has 2 lobes and PLANTS Database projects forward; and the lower lip curves downwards with 3 lobes. The individual lobes are 3-nerved.

Colombia. [email protected] GERARDO PÉREZ Chemistry Department, Biochemistry Laboratory, Universidad Nacional de Colombia, Bogotá. Colombia. [email protected] ABSTRACT This is the third study of lectin and mucilage detection in Labiatae nutlets from Colombia. It was carried out on 30 taxa; 15 of them belonging to 14 genera in which no previous studies have been carried out in this ﬁ eld, the other 15 belonging to previously studied genera. A differential response was observed in the group of genera and species studied in terms of mucilage presence as well as lectin activity which consistently increased after extract treatment with Pectinex. Lectin activity was detected in 26 species, being important (more than 60% activity) in at least 75% of them. Genera such as Aegiphila, Agastache, Ballota, Mentha and Origanum, whilst not presenting mucilage, did present lectin activity, with high activity in most cases. This is the ﬁ rst time that a lectin has been reported in these genera. Salvia (in all but Salvia sections studied) presented mucilage and important lectin activity.

(Lamiaceae) is distributed in eastern Asia and Europe. Understanding chromo- some evolution in Glechoma has been strongly hampered by its small chromosomes, con- stant karyotype and polyploidy. Here phylogenetic patterns and chromosomal variation in Glechoma species are considered, using genome sizes, chromosome mapping of 5S and 35S rDNAs by fluorescence in situ hybridisation (FISH), and phylogenetic analyses of inter- nal transcribed spacers (nrITS) of 35S rDNA and 5S rDNA NTS sequences. Species and OPEN ACCESS populations of Glechoma are tetraploid (2n = 36) with base chromosome number of x = 9. Citation: Jang T-S, McCann J, Parker JS, Four chromosomes carry pericentric 5S rDNA sites in their short arms in all the species. Takayama K, Hong S-P, Schneeweiss GM, et al.

Anise Hyssop, Agastache Foeniculum
A Horticulture Information article from the Wisconsin Master Gardener website, posted 11 Sept 2015 Anise hyssop, Agastache foeniculum Anise hyssop, Agastache foeniculum, is a short-lived herbaceous perennial with blue fl owers and fragrant foliage that can be used as an ornamental or in the herb garden. Native to prairies, dry upland forested areas, plains and fi elds in the upper Midwest and Great Plains into Canada (from northern Colorado to Wisconsin and in Canada from Ontario west to British Columbia), this plant in the mint family (Lamiaceae) is hardy in zones 3 to 8. Other common names include blue giant hyssop, fragrant giant hyssop and lavender giant hyssop. Despite the common name, it is not closely related to hyssop (Hyssopus Species anise hyssop and golden cultivar. spp.), a European plant traditionally used as a healing herb, or anise, Pimpinella anisum, a completely different plant in the carrot family (Apiaceae). Anise hyssop has an upright form. The upright, clump-forming plants generally grow 2-4 feet tall and about 1-3 feet wide from a small tap root with spreading rhizomes. They have alternate leaves on the square stems (characteristic of the mint plant family). The ovate to broad-lanceolate, dull green leaves up to four inches long have toothed margins and a whitish tint to the underside. The foliage remains nice looking throughout the season and sometimes has a purplish cast on the new growth. The aromatic leaves have a licorice-like (anise) scent, and can be The new growth often has a purplish cast. used in herbal teas, to fl avor jellies or eaten fresh in small quantities, such as in a salad with other greens.

Purple Giant Hyssop, Agastache Scrophulariifolia
Natural Heritage Purple Giant Hyssop & Endangered Species Agastache scrophulariifolia (Willd.) Kuntze Program www.mass.gov/nhesp State Status: Endangered Federal Status: None Massachusetts Division of Fisheries & Wildlife DESCRIPTION: Purple Giant Hyssop is an aromatic perennial species in the Mint family (Lamiaceae) found in rich, moist woods and along river banks. It is currently known from only one location in Massachusetts. Purple Giant Hyssop has four-sided stems that are diamond-shaped in cross-section, with opposite, toothed leaves. The flower stems reach 1 to 1.5 m in height (~ 3–5 feet), branch near the top, and have terminal spike-like inflorescences up to 15 cm in length, with tubular purplish flowers. AIDS TO IDENTIFICATION: A technical key should be used to distinguish Purple Giant Hyssop from other mint species. Distinguishing characteristics include: . Tall stature (1–1.5 m) . Anise-like fragrance of crushed leaves . Stem diamond-shaped in cross-section . Long, spike-like inflorescence with crowded, purple flowers. Photo by R.W.
