Filipendula Vulgaris
''Filipendula vulgaris'', commonly known as dropwort or fern-leaf dropwort, is a perennial herbaceous plant in the family Rosaceae, closely related to meadowsweet (''Filipendula ulmaria''). It is found in dry pastures across much of Europe and central and northern Asia, mostly on lime. The crushed leaves and roots have a scent of the oil of wintergreen (methyl salicylate). Taxonomy and naming The genus name ''Filipendula'' comes from Latin ''filum'' ("thread") and ''pendulus'' ("hanging") in reference to the root tubers that hang from the roots in some species. The specific epithet ''vulgaris'' means "common". The English name "dropwort" comes from the tubers that hang like drops from the root. Description It has finely-cut, fern-like radical leaves which form a basal rosette, and an erect stem tall C. A.

Oenanthe Crocata
''Oenanthe crocata'', hemlock water-dropwort (sometimes known as dead man's fingers) is a flowering plant in the carrot family, native to Europe, North Africa and western Asia. It grows in damp grassland and wet woodland, often along river and stream banks. All parts of the plant are extremely toxic and it has been known to cause human and livestock poisoning. Description Hemlock water-dropwort is a robust hairless perennial growing up to 150 cm tall with hollow, cylindrical, grooved stems up to 3.5 cm across. The stems are often branched. The upper part of the roots include five or more obovoid, pale yellow, fleshy tubers up to 6 cm long, which exude a yellowish oily fluid when cut that stains the skin. The lower leaves are 3–4 times pinnate, triangular, with oval toothed leaflets 10–20 mm long, that are basally tapered to the stalk ( cuneate). The upper leaves are 1–2 pinnate, with narrower lobes and a shorter petiole (leaf stalk). All the leaves ar ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Oenanthe (plant)
''Oenanthe'', known as water dropworts, oenanthes, water parsleys, and water celeries, are a genus of plants in the family Apiaceae. Most of the species grow in damp ground, such as in marshes or in water. Several of the species are extremely poisonous, the active poison being oenanthotoxin. The most notable of these is ''O. crocata'', which lives in damp, marshy ground, and resembles celery with roots like a bunch of large white carrots. The leaves may be eaten safely by livestock, but the stems, and especially the carbohydrate-rich roots are much more poisonous. Animals familiar with eating the leaves may eat the roots when these are exposed during ditch clearance: one root is sufficient to kill a cow, and human fatalities are also known. It has been referred to as the most poisonous of all British plants, and is considered particularly dangerous because of its similarity to several edible plants. The species '' O. javanica'', commonly known as Chinese celery or Japanese pars ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
