Bryony Rudkin
''Bryonia'' is a genus of flowering plants in the gourd family. Bryony is its best-known common name. They are native to western Eurasia and adjacent regions, such as North Africa, the Canary Islands and South Asia. Description and ecology Bryonies are perennial, tendril-climbing, diclinous or dioecious herbs with palmately lobed leaves and flowers in axillary clusters. The fruit is a smooth, globular berry. ''Bryonia'' is used as a food plant by the larvae of some Lepidoptera (butterflies and moths), including the tortrix moth ''Phtheochroa rugosana'' (recorded on red bryony, ''B. dioica'') and the cabbage moth (''Mamestra brassicae''). The horticultural value contributes to formation of pest and crop damage by the food plant consumption. Use by humans Bryonies are occasionally grown in gardens, sometimes accidentally, sometimes deliberately so. Some species find use in herbal medicine.
