Description
The mugwort is a member of the composite family. Within this family, it belongs to the species Artemisia.
Where exactly the mugwort herb has its origin, is not quite sure - however, it is assumed that it stems from Central and Northern Europe. Since the plant is very adaptive to climate and location, it can be found almost all over the northern hemisphere. Especially in Europe, North America, Alaska and Northern Asia, the plant is often found in large amounts.
Mugwort is a herbaceous perennial plant with a growth height from 70 to 180 cm. The leaves of the herb are almost spiky, dark green coloured and grow to a length of about 10 cm. Its flowers are arranged in a cluster and after flowering, they develop the nut fruits, which are typical for the composite plants.
Did you know that the mugwort is known since the 1st century? Thenceforth, it was thought that the mugwort increased the efficiency of running.
Since the galangal looks very similar to the ginger, it is not surprising that it belongs to the ginger family.
Galangal is native to Hainan Island in the South China Sea. It is also cultivated throughout Southeast Asia. Galangal is also becoming more and more popular in our country, but it grows best as a potted plant in a greenhouse, as it is not very cold-resistant and needs a lot of sunlight.
It is a perennial herbaceous plant with cylinder shaped roots of brownish colour. These roots form erect shoots that can grow up to 1.5m high. Although it looks like ginger, it differs in smell and taste - galangal has a pleasant scent of cinnamon and cardamom, unlike the spicy-hot ginger.
It is interesting to know that galangal is so popular that it is even called "spice of life".
The yellow gentian, also known as bitterwort, is a mountain plant from the gentian family.
It is native in Europe, but is rarely found, as the population has declined significantly in recent years. For this reason, it is strongly protected and it is forbidden to collect it. It is mainly found in mountain meadows in the Alps. It can also be found in the highlands of Asia Minor. It especially likes to grow in sunny to slightly shady places with chalky soil.
Of all the native gentian species, the yellow gentian is the largest. Its stem can grow up to one meter high and its root reaches up to 60cm in depth. In July and August, the gentian forms its golden to yellow coloured flowers - but it can take up to 10 years for the plant to show its flowers for the first time.
Many are surprised when they see the yellow flowers of the gentian, as they rather expect blue flowers - reason for this: the german hit song "Blau, blau, blau blüht der Enzian".
Strictly speaking, the calamus is a marsh plant from the calamus family.
Although it is known as "European calamus", it actually originates from East Asia. However, it grows in Central Europe since the Middle Ages. It can also be found in America, but natural populations are shrinking. The plant grows best in sunny to semi-shady places with fairly warm temperatures.
The calamus grows straight and up to 80 to 100 cm high. The shape of the leaves is sword-like and their edges are usually wavy. Unlike most plants, the calamus does not bear any fruits in our climatic region.
If you ever encounter the calamus growing wild, rub it with your fingers and notice its aromatic and spicy aroma.
Most people probably know the dandelion. It belongs to the dandelion species, which belongs to the composite plant family.
The dandelion grows naturally in the moderate climate zones of the northern hemisphere, but originally comes from western Asia and Europe. It is most likely to be found on meadows, ditches, and forest edges - as long as it is sunny or half-shady.
The growth of the dandelion is herbaceous. The perennial plant can only grow between 10 to 30 cm high, but its root is very long and reaches up to one meter in the depth. Directly above the ground, the dandelion leaves are formed, which grow up to 25cm and are strongly toothed. In spring, the dandelion blooms with its bright yellow basket flowers, whose smell reminds of honey. The flowers open in the morning and close in the evening.
Interesting, especially for vegans, could be that you can make a honey alternative from the dandelion.
