Witch Hazel is a deciduous, woody plant. Witch Hazel Witch Hazel species tend to have bright ribbon-shaped petals. Scientific name: ● Habitat: Three species of Witch Hazel are native to North America, including Vernal Witch Hazel (mid- Hamamelis south U.S.), Common Witch Hazel (Midwest-east), Family: Hamamelidaceae and Big-leaf Witch Hazel (southeast). There are two other kinds of Witch Hazel in China (Hamamelis mollis) and Japan (Hamamelis japonica). ● Species dependent: Birds enjoy the seeds released by the plants for food. Azure butterflies use Common Witch Hazel for their larvae. Witch Hazel is pollinated by flies. Deer and squirrels will eat Caption: Petals of American Witch Hazel from The Morton Arboretum. both the branches and seeds of Witch Hazel. Plants and People ● The Cherokee tribe used Common Witch Hazel for throat, skin, and eye remedies. The Iroquois tribe used Witch Hazel for heart and kidney treatments, as well as a cold medicine. In fact, they even used Caption: Leaf of Vernal Witch Hazel from The Morton Arboretum. it to help a toothache. IUCN Threat Level ● Threat identified: American Witch Hazel has a wide range, and has stable populations throughout the eastern U.S. American Witch Hazel is currently listed as least concern. Caption: Vernal Witch Hazel from The Morton Arboretum Herbarium. Cool Facts ● Bloom time! They are often one of the first or the last flowers you see. ● Big-leaf Witch Hazel was first documented in 2004. Big-leaf Witch Hazel was mistaken for a hazelnut tree, because of how much larger the leaves were compared to American Witch Hazel. Caption: Range map of American Witch Hazel. Green=Species present.

  • 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.

    Hamamelis virginiana (Common Witchhazel) Witchhazel Family (Hamamelidaceae) Introduction: This native large shrub or small tree offers attractive yellow foliage and fragrant fl owers in fall. 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. Witchhazel spread. extract has also been used in after-shave lotion. The bark of witchhazel is light brown and Flower and fruit: Flowers are fragrant and have thin. It peels off to reveal a reddish purple inner bark. four yellow, ribbon-like petals. Flowers are borne Common witchhazel is our native witchhazel in November and are effective for 2 to 4 weeks.

    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".

  • 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.

  • Plant of the Month January
    Plant of the Month January HAMAMELIS Hamamelis is a winter-flowering shrub, commonly known as witch hazel. Its spicy fragrance and spidery flowers in yellow, orange and reds make it a must for the winter garden. A genus of four species of woody shrubs, two from North America and two from Asia, all flowering in the winter/early spring except for Hamamelis virginiana L. which flowers in the autumn. The first to be discovered was the American Witch Hazel, Hamamelis virginiana, this is the plant from which is distilled an extract, quite widely used in pharmaceutical and cosmetic products. The other species from North America is the Ozark Witch Hazel, Hamamelis vernalis. From Asia come both the Japanese Witch Hazel, Hamamelis japonica and the Chinese Witch Hazel, Hamamelis mollis. In cultivation, hybrids have arisen, notably between the Japanese and Chinese Witch Hazels, these are designated as Hamamelis x intermedia and many of them have been given cultivar names. Apart from H. virginiana which flowers in October and November, they all flower in the winter, between December and March, unaffected by frost. Individual plants have a flowering period of four to six weeks, depending how cold the weather is. They are medium sized to large woody shrubs, usually multi- stemmed. The flowers consist of four strap shaped petals, giving them a spidery look. With many flowers clustered along the branches, they provide welcome colour in the drab winter months. Flower colour, particularly in the hybrids can range from pale yellow, through to red and many of them have good scent, from sweet to spicy.
