Accepted: September 5, 2006) ABSTRACT Eight anthracene derivatives (chrysophanol, physcion, emodin, aloe-emodin, rhein, barbaloin, sennoside A and sennoside B) were signified in six species of Rumex L genus: R. acetosa L., R. acetosella L., R. confertus Willd., R. crispus L., R. hydrolapathum Huds. and R. obtusifolius L. For the investigations methanolic extracts were pre- pared from the roots, leaves and fruits of these species. Reverse Phase High Performance Liquid Chromatography was applied for separation, identification and quantitative determination of anthracene derivatives. The identity of these compounds was further confirmed with UV-VIS. Received data were compared. The roots are the best organs for the accumulation of anthraquinones. The total amount of the detected compo- unds was the largest in the roots of R. confertus (163.42 mg/g), smaller in roots R. crispus (25.22 mg/g) and the smallest in roots of R. hydrolapathum (1.02 mg/g).

Rumex Crispus L.; Curly Dock R
A WEED REPORT from the book Weed Control in Natural Areas in the Western United States This WEED REPORT does not constitute a formal recommendation. When using herbicides always read the label, and when in doubt consult your farm advisor or county agent. This WEED REPORT is an excerpt from the book Weed Control in Natural Areas in the Western United States and is available wholesale through the UC Weed Research & Information Center (wric.ucdavis.edu) or retail through the Western Society of Weed Science (wsweedscience.org) or the California Invasive Species Council (cal-ipc.org). Rumex crispus L.; curly dock R. crispus R. obtusifolius Rumex obtusifolius L.; broadleaf dock Curly and broadleaf dock Family: Polygonaceae Range: Curly dock is found throughout the U.S., including every western state. Broadleaf dock is found in most of the western states, except Nevada, Wyoming and North Dakota. Habitat: Ditches, roadsides, wetlands, meadows, riparian areas, alfalfa and pasture fields (especially with poor drainage), orchards and other disturbed moist areas. Plants prefer wet to moist soils but tolerate periods of dryness, and can grow in most climates and soil types. Origin: R. crispus, Eurasia; R. obtusifolia, western Europe. Impact: Both species can be very competitive and outcompete more desirable vegetation for water, nutrients and light. Under certain conditions, they can accumulate soluble oxalates making them toxic to livestock. California Invasive Plant Council (Cal-IPC) Inventory: R. crispus, Limited Invasiveness Both species are erect perennials from 1.5 to 3 ft tall, occasionally to 5 ft tall. Curly dock leaves are lanceolate and up to 20 inches long, whereas broadleaf dock has lanceolate-ovate leaves that are up to 30 inches long.

Deep Roots Radio 2020 Spring Herbs 1
RED CLOVER HERBAL APOTHECARY FARM SPRING HERBS Stinging Nettles (Urtica dioica) leaf, root and seeds One of my very favorite herbs • Use as a tea or in plant extracts. Use as a food - saute in olive oil with garlic, add to pasta dishes, make Nettle leaf lasagna. Use the dried seeds at end of growing season • Stinging nettle is a powerful source of many nutrients, calcium, manganese, magnesium, vitamin K, carotenoids, and protein • Because of its high mineral content, Nettle strengthens bones, hair, nails, and teeth. • Nettles build red blood cells so boosts iron levels. Many women this instead of iron pills when pregnant. Restoring iron levels can also relieve fatigue. • Nettles natural histamine may decrease seasonal allergic responses, such as hay fever. Suggested use for allergies - make a strong nourishing infusions (1 ounce of nettle leaf by weight, infused in 32 ounces of just-boiled water for 4-8 hours) Drink this daily in the time leading up to allergy season. This often eliminates or strongly decreases allergy symptoms • There's the old tale of Elders running naked through the Nettle patches. Stinging nettle hairs contain several chemicals that have pain-relieving and anti-inflammatory properties. This means that stinging nettle could help reduce pain and inflammation in conditions such as arthritis. • Nettle stings contain histamine that causes the initial reaction when you are stung. Dock leaf sap contains natural antihistamine, which helps to ease the stinging sensation. • Stinging Nettle seed is currently being used in clinical practice as a trophorestorative for degenerative kidney disease. A trophorestorative nourishes and restores the function of a tired, compromised, diseased tissue, organ, or system.

Foraged leafy greens are consumed around the globe, including in urban areas, and may play a larger role when food is scarce or expensive. It is thus important to assess the safety and nutritional value of wild greens foraged in urban environments. Methods. Field observations, soil tests, and nutritional and toxicology tests on plant tissue were conducted for three sites, each roughly 9 square blocks, in disadvantaged neighborhoods in the East San Francisco Bay Area in 2014–2015. The sites included mixed-use areas and areas with high vehicle traffic. Results. Edible wild greens were abundant, even during record droughts. Soil at some survey sites had elevated concentrations of lead and cadmium, but tissue tests suggest that rinsed greens are safe to eat.

FSC Nettlecombe Court Nature Review 2014
FSC Nettlecombe Court Nature Review 2014 Compiled by: Sam Tuddenham Nettlecombe Court- Nature Review 2014 Introduction The purpose of this report is to review and share the number of different species that are present in the grounds of Nettlecombe Court. A significant proportion of this data has been generated by FSC course tutors and course attendees studying at Nettlecombe court on a variety of courses. Some of the data has been collected for the primary purpose of species monitoring for nationwide conservation charities e.g. The Big Butterfly Count and Bee Walk Survey Scheme. Other species have just been noted by members or staff when out in the grounds. These records are as accurate as possible however we accept that there may be species missing. Nettlecombe Court Nettlecombe Court Field Centre of the Field Studies Council sits just inside the eastern border of Exmoor national park, North-West of Taunton (Map 1). The house grid reference is 51o07’52.23”N, 32o05’8.65”W and this report only documents wildlife within the grounds of the house (see Map 2). The estate is around 60 hectares and there is a large variety of environment types: Dry semi- improved neutral grassland, bare ground, woodland (large, small, man –made and natural), bracken dominated hills, ornamental shrubs (lawns/ domestic gardens) and streams. These will all provide different habitats, enabling the rich diversity of wildlife found at Nettlecombe Court. Nettlecombe court has possessed a meteorological station for a number of years and so a summary of “MET” data has been included in this report.
