Plantain. Legends, the birthplace of the plant, the history of distribution
When the Spanish king sent his soldiers to conquer the American Indians, he had no idea that he was sending another conqueror there. This conqueror turned out to be a plantain. Thanks to his assertiveness, the European alien won a significant territory from local plants. Here's how it happened. In wet weather, psyllium seeds became sticky - like glue glued to the soles of soldiers' boots. Together with them they sailed to America and went to roam the new country. Where the soldiers passed, the plantain also grew there. "White Man's Footprint" - the Red Indians called it. In America, plantain has taken root on the roads. And in many countries it grows along the roads. The road is a restless place. A man passed - stepped on a plant. A car rushed by - ran over it with a wheel. Many plants cannot stand trampling and move away from the road. But the plantain remains. Elastic leaves and stems help him survive. He crushed them with his foot - they ducked. Moved away - straightened up, like a spring. Plantain leaves are not only very hardy, but also useful. If you rub your leg along the way, the trouble is fixable. Tear off a plantain leaf, knead it and apply it to the wound. The sticky juice will take the pain away. You can walk along the path again. Plantain leaves are a proven medicine. From time immemorial, they have been treated for abrasions, abscesses, stomach ulcers. Plantain is not forgotten in our time. In the leaves of a cultivated plant, medicinal juice accumulates more than that of its wild brother. Author: Osipov N.F.
Plantain. Botanical description of the plant, areas of growth and ecology, economic importance, applications
Several dozen species of plantain are known. All of them are herbaceous plants, perennials, unpretentious to soils. They tolerate trampling well, surprising with their vitality. The scientific name comes from the combination of the Greek word "foot" with the root of the word "follow the trail", "trail". Psyllium seeds were brought to North America by European settlers with mud on their boots. Usually along the roads and paths along which the settlers moved inland, plantain plants with wide large leaves appeared. That is why the North American Indians gave the plant the name - "trace of the white." 15 species of plantain grow in Ukraine. Three species are mainly eaten: large, medium and lanceolate. Plantain is one of the most popular plants in native medicine. Leaves are used in the treatment of bruises, cuts, abscesses, skin inflammations, furunculosis, etc. In ancient Greece and Rome, Persia, Mesopotamia, plantain was highly valued as an expectorant and cleansing agent. With the help of plantain juice, internal bleeding was stopped. In modern medicine, plantain preparations also occupy an important place as a blood purifier. Extracts from the leaves help with inflammation of the mucous membranes of the mouth and stomach. Plantain leaves, rich in potassium and citric acid salts, contain aukubin glycoside, invertin and emulsin enzymes, bitter tannins, alkaloids, vitamin C, carotene. Seeds accumulate up to 15-20% of a kind of oil, carbohydrates, mucous substances, oleic acid. In Sweden, Norway, Finland and the Caucasus, young plantain leaves are used to make salads, sometimes they are recommended to increase appetite and increase the vital activity of the body. In Yakutia, the local population collects plantain grains and uses them for cooking cereals and even flour in winter. For the same purpose, plantain seeds are harvested in Manchuria and Northern China. If it becomes necessary to add a fragrant taste to the plantain salad, you can add a little sorrel or nettle leaves, wild onions or garlic, leaves or mashed barberry fruits, juice of unripe sloe fruits. Often, the leaves are salted as a nutritious and tasty vegetable that helps with headaches due to alcohol poisoning and in diseases of the stomach.
Plantain seeds are suitable for cooking first courses. From the young leaves, mainly green borscht and soups are prepared. Since plantain greens have a somewhat insipid bitter taste, sorrel, sorrel, nettle, hogweed, and borage leaves are added to it to make it spicier. Roasted and crushed, psyllium seeds produce a whitish-brown flour that is used to make sauces, gravies, and as a seasoning for soups. In Yakutia, plantain seeds are harvested in large quantities for future use and fermented with milk. Pickled seeds are considered a tasty and nutritious seasoning for meat and fish dishes. The leaves of all types of plantain contain aukubin glycoside, bitter and tannins, carotene, vitamins C and K, citric acid. In French and Polish cosmetics, plantain juice is included in some creams and lotions. For oily skin with acne and large pores, finely chopped fresh plantain leaves make a softening and cleansing mask. Freshly picked leaves are washed in warm water, dried on a towel or linen, cut into pieces and rubbed in a cup until a homogeneous mass is obtained. The pulp applied with a thin layer is kept for 10-15 minutes and washed off with warm or cold water. After the mask, it is not recommended to lubricate the skin with cream for some time. Finely chopped plantain leaves are poured with boiling water at the rate of 20 g of leaves per glass of water. The infusion is allowed to cool, filtered and poured into trays for freezing in the refrigerator and obtaining uniform cubes. Ice from the infusion of plantain helps a lot with oily and loose skin with deep, sharp wrinkles. After plantain, it is not recommended to lubricate only with a greasy cream. Author: Reva M.L.
Herbarium on coats of arms. Featured Article
In order to collect a collection of plants, a herbarium (from the Latin word herba - "grass"), botanists have to travel across different continents, countries and cities. After all, the plants themselves are also very fond of wandering. Sometimes they do it in the most amazing way. We have already talked about some of these trips. Sometimes you can even quite accurately set the time of movement of a plant from place to place. Take at least plantain. It seems everyone knows him. But before the discovery of America by Columbus, the Indians did not hear about him. Europeans brought it to the new continent quite by accident. The seeds of the unpretentious plantain came to North American soil from the soles of the first colonists. Local residents, people, as you know, very attentive, called the plantain "the trace of a white man": where this plant appeared, it means that European settlers visited it. At the very beginning of the 25th century, botanists noted the simultaneous appearance in Copenhagen, the capital of Denmark, of herbs unprecedented for this country, more than XNUMX species characteristic of the Mediterranean coast. They began to find out how and where they came from, and even so suddenly and almost simultaneously. It turned out that the case here is in the famous sculptor Bertel Thorvaldsen. Having settled in Rome in 1797, he sent some of his works to his homeland, to Denmark. So that the sculptures would not deteriorate on a long journey, they were wrapped in hay in packing boxes. Seeds of dry grass and gave shoots that surprised botanists in Copenhagen. Until 1814, there were no burdocks in France. That is, narrow-minded people, simpletons, of course, were - they exist in any climate and regardless of geographical location. But there was no herbaceous plant with very large leaves and inflorescences-thorns, clinging to human clothes and animal hair and also called burdock. It began to grow only after the defeat of the Napoleonic troops in the Patriotic War and the foreign campaigns of the Russian army. On March 31, 1814, Russian soldiers entered Paris - Cossack detachments with convoys carrying, among other things, fodder - horse feed. Was among the brought herbs and burdock. This is how burdock appeared in France. Now they can be found everywhere. For many years the French called this broad-leaved sticky grass "Russian infection" ... So, plants travel. Botanists - after them. They find various representatives of the flora in forests, steppes, and fields. And plants can also be found on the emblems of states, cities, noble families. On the coats of arms - from the German word Erbe, inheritance. There are many of them - a whole herbarium! Baobab we will find on the coat of arms of Senegal; corn - on the emblems of Benin, Cobo Verde, Mozambique; laurel is woven into the images on the coats of arms of France, Algeria, El Salvador; clover is the emblem of Ireland; the water lily is clearly visible on the coat of arms of Guyana; mallow - an exquisite large flower - is depicted on the coat of arms of Nepal; chrysanthemum - emblem of the Japanese emperor; cedar - the emblem of Lebanon; cactus - Mexico; The coat of arms of the city of Augustusburg in Germany depicts a pine cone. Among the emblems of Russian cities approved in 1729, plants are also found: in Penza - a sheaf of wheat, a sheaf of barley, a sheaf of millet; in Starodubsk - oak on green ground; in Terek - a green watermelon, two bunches of grapes at the top ... You can't list everything! Author: Gol N.
