Achillea Millefolium Common Yarrow Top 50 Medicinal Plants Medicinal plants to create an Apothecary-style garden to help our pollinators List Curated by Thomas McBride From research data collected and collated at the National Botanic Garden of Wales NB: Butterflies and Moths are not studied at the NBGW so any data on nectar plants beneficial for them is taken from Butterfly Conservation Introduction At the National Botanic Garden of Wales, we feel it is important to recognise the rich history of botany and plant science we have in Wales and around the UK. One such way to display this is through a living museum of plants once used, and some still used, to treat various ailments and maintain good health. These medicinal plants can be grown together to create a physic garden or apothecaries garden; such as the one we have here. Apothecaries were herbal medicine specialists before the event of modern medicine. The apothecaries garden is split into sections depending on the usage of the plants. If you would also like to create one, you can use this model to help you. Almost all the selected plants are found in our Apothecaries Garden and many are also culinary herbs or ornamentals found elsewhere in the garden. Most of the plants used are native to or naturalised in Western Europe.

  • Classificatie Van Planten – Nieuwe Inzichten En Gevolgen Voor De Praktijk
    B268_dendro_bin 03-11-2009 10:32 Pagina 4 Classificatie van planten – nieuwe inzichten en gevolgen voor de praktijk Ir. M.H.A. Hoffman Er zijn ongeveer 300.000 verschillende (hogere) plantensoorten, die onderling veel of weinig op elkaar lijken. Vroeger werden alle planten- soorten afzonderlijk benaamd, en was niet duidelijk hoe deze soorten ver- want waren. Tegenwoordig worden soorten conform het systeem van Lin- naeus ingedeeld in geslachten. Soorten die sterk verwant zijn aan elkaar hebben dezelfde geslachtsnaam. Geslachten worden op hun beurt weer ingedeeld in families en die op hun beurt weer in ordes, enzovoort. Op deze manier kent het plantenrijk een hiërarchisch indelingsysteem, met verwantschap als basis. Sterke verwantschap is meestal ook zicht- baar aan de uiterlijke gelijkenis. Soorten die veel op elkaar lijken en verwant zijn zitten in dezelfde groep.Verre verwanten zitten ver uit elkaar in het systeem. Om een plant goed te kunnen benamen, moet dus eerst uitgezocht worden aan welke andere soorten deze verwant is. Tot voor kort werd de gelijkenis van planten zen.

For the first time, the anti-virulence potential and the safety for human use of the ethanol extracts of two medicinal plants, Persicaria maculosa (PEM) and Bistorta officinalis (BIO), have been addressed. Ethanol extracts of both plants exhibited anti-virulence activity against the medically important opportunistic pathogen Pseudomonas aeruginosa. At the subinhibitory concentration of 50 µg/mL, the extracts demonstrated a maximal inhibitory effect (approx. 50%) against biofilm formation, the highest reduction of pyocyanin production (47% for PEM and 59% for BIO) and completely halted the swarming motility of P.

  • Western Yarrow Achillea Millefolium Var. Occidentalis a Native Forb
    United States Department of Agriculture NATURAL RESOURCES CONSERVATION SERVICE Plant Materials Technical Note No. MT-103 September 2014 PLANT MATERIALS TECHNICAL NOTE WESTERN YARROW Achillea millefolium var. occidentalis A Native Forb for Conservation Use in Montana and Wyoming Susan R. Winslow, Agronomist, NRCS Plant Materials Center, Bridger, Montana Western yarrow flowers General Description Western yarrow is a native, herbaceous perennial in the Aster Family. It is a very common wildflower that grows erect from creeping rootstocks, to a height mostly 10 to 36 inches tall. The leaves of western yarrow are lacy and fern-like in appearance. They are finely dissected into numerous, short and narrow divisions not over 0.04 inch wide--millefolium is derived from the Latin roots mill(i) meaning one thousand and foli(um) meaning a leaf. The basal foliage is up to 10 inches long, with leaves along the flowering stalk longest at the base and progressively shorter up the stem. The entire plant is densely covered in long, soft, woolly hairs. Western yarrow has a very distinctive aroma, similar to chamomile (Anthemis) or dog fennel (Dysodiopsis), and is especially noticeable, when crushed. The somewhat rounded terminal clusters of flower heads are normally white to pale pink in color and have an extended bloom period from May to September. The extremely small fruit is a whitish, flattened achene, with compressed margins that are grayish in color. There is considerable variation within native populations across the United States with up to seven varieties recognized by taxonomists. Western yarrow should not be confused with the introduced, invasive species, common yarrow Achillea millefolium.

Day 1 Sunday 7th July The British Airways flight from Heathrow arrived an hour late, in Zurich. Once we had assembled, we caught the train to Zurich main station, where we changed to the intercity express. We passed Lake Zurich and the Walensee, meeting the Rhine as it flows into Liectenstein, and then changed to the UNESCO World Heritage Albula railway at Chur. Dramatic scenery and many loops, tunnels and bridges followed, as we made our way through the Alps. After passing through the long Preda tunnel, we entered the Engadine and made a third change, at Samedan, for the short ride to Pontresina. We were picked up by the hotel minibus and arrived at the hotel around 9.00 pm. After a delicious evening meal, we briefly talked over the plans for the week and retired for much-needed sleep. Day 2 Monday 8th July After a 20-minute walk from the hotel, we caught the 9.07am train, at Surovas. We had a scenic introduction to the geography of the region, as we travelled south along the length of Val Bernina, crossing the watershed, beside Lago Bianco, and alighting at Alp Grum.
