Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Black Bryony, scientifically known as Tamus communis, is a perennial vine belonging to the Dioscoreaceae family. Black Bryony, often referred to as European Mandrake, Lady's Seal, and Wild Hops, is indigenous to Europe, North Africa, and Western Asia. The plant is known for its strong climbing vines, heart-shaped leaves, and vivid clusters of crimson berries. Black Bryony is not botanically related to the Bryony plant (Bryonia dioica) despite its name. Below are the primary characteristics and attributes of the Black Bryony flower: Botanical Characteristics: Vines: Black Bryony is a climbing plant that uses tendrils to ascend and can reach lengths of up to 10 meters or more. Leaves: The heart-shaped leaves are glossy, alternate, and have prominent veins. Flowers: The small, greenish-yellow flowers bloom in umbels from April to June. They are not particularly showy but play a crucial role in the plant's reproductive cycle. - Berries: After flowering, Black Bryony produces clusters of bright red berries in late summer and early autumn. - These berries are toxic and should not be ingested. They are, however, an essential food source for some bird species. - Habitat and Distribution: Black Bryony thrives in a variety of habitats, including woodlands, hedges, and scrubland. - It is widespread in Europe, North Africa, and Western Asia, often found in both sunny and shaded areas. - Cultural and Historical Significance: In traditional medicine, various parts of Black Bryony were once used, although caution is necessary due to its toxicity. The plant has also been associated with folklore and superstitions in some cultures. - Toxicity: All parts of Black Bryony, especially the berries, contain toxic compounds. Ingesting them can lead to severe poisoning. - Animals generally avoid eating the plant due to its toxicity, but birds are an exception and play a role in seed dispersal. - Conservation Status: Black Bryony is not considered endangered, and its populations are relatively stable. However, as with many wild plants, habitat loss and changes in land use can impact its abundance. - Garden and Landscape Use: While not a commonly cultivated plant in gardens, Black Bryony can be grown for its ornamental value, especially if a climbing or trailing plant is desired. Black Bryony should be handled cautiously because of its toxicity. Any utilization for medical or decorative reasons should be done with a thorough awareness of the potential dangers involved.

Download or read book A Modern Herbal written by Maud Grieve and published by Courier Corporation. This book was released on 1971-06-01 with total page 514 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "There is not one page of this enchanting book which does not contain something to interest the common reader as well as the serious student. Regarded simply as a history of flowers, it adds to the joys of the country." ? B. E. Todd, Spectator. If you want to know how pleurisy root, lungwort, and abscess root got their names, how poison ivy used to treat rheumatism, or how garlic guarded against the Bubonic Plague, consult A Modern Herbal. This 20th-century version of the medieval Herbal is as rich in scientific fact and folklore as its predecessors and is equally encyclopedic in coverage. From aconite to zedoary, not an herb, grass, fungus, shrub or tree is overlooked; and strange and wonderful discoveries about even the most common of plants await the reader. Traditionally, an herbal combined the folk beliefs and tales about plants, the medicinal properties (and parts used) of the herbs, and their botanical classification. But Mrs. Grieve has extended and enlarged the tradition; her coverage of asafetida, bearberry, broom, chamomile, chickweed, dandelion, dock, elecampane, almond, eyebright, fenugreek, moss, fern, figwort, gentian, Hart's tongue, indigo, acacia, jaborandi, kava kava, lavender, pimpernel, rhubarb, squill, sage, thyme, sarsaparilla, unicorn root, valerian, woundwort, yew, etc. ? more than 800 varieties in all ? includes in addition methods of cultivation; the chemical constituents, dosages, and preparations of extracts and tinctures, unknown to earlier herbalists; possible economic and cosmetic properties, and detailed illustrations, from root to bud, of 161 plants. Of the many exceptional plants covered in Herbal, perhaps the most fascinating are the poisonous varieties ? hemlock, poison oak, aconite, etc. ? whose poisons, in certain cases, serve medical purposes and whose antidotes (if known) are given in detail. And of the many unique features, perhaps the most interesting are the hundreds of recipes and instructions for making ointments, lotions, sauces, wines, and fruit brandies like bilberry and carrot jam, elderberry and mint vinegar, sagina sauce, and cucumber lotion for sunburn; and the hundreds of prescriptions for tonics and liniments for bronchitis, arthritis, dropsy, jaundice, nervous tension, skin disease, and other ailments. 96 plates, 161 illustrations.
