Anacyclus Alboranensis
''Anacyclus'' is a genus of plants in the family Asteraceae described by Linnaeus in 1753. Annuals or herbaceous perennials, they are cultivated for their fern-like leaves on creeping, radiating stems and daisy-like flowers. They are frost-hardy but may tolerate winter temperatures below if grown in well-drained soil. ''Anacyclus'' species are native to stony or sandy slopes in southern and western Europe, North Africa, and the Middle East. The roots of ''A. pyrethrum'' are known as pellitory in Europe and ''akrakara'' in India. The root is imported mainly from Mediterranean countries. Because of its powerful irritant action, in Ayurvedic medicine the root is considered a stimulant and is often an ingredient of aphrodisiacs and nervous stimulants used in facial palsy, paralysis, hemiplegia, fibromyalgia Fibromyalgia (FM) is a medical condition defined by the presence of chronic widespread pain, fatigue, waking unrefreshed, cognitive symptoms, lower abdominal pain or cramp ...

Anacyclus Pyrethrum
''Anacyclus pyrethrum'', the pellitory, Spanish chamomile, Mount Atlas daisy, or Akarkara, is a species of flowering plant in the daisy family Asteraceae. It is native to Mediterranean Europe and parts of North Africa, but also naturalised in other parts of Europe, India and Pakistan. This herbaceous perennial resembles chamomile species in habitat and appearance. The plants known as pellitory-of-the-wall and spreading pellitory belong to a different family, the nettles (Urticaceae). Names Although one might assume from the specific epithet ''pyrethrum'' that this plant contains pyrethrins, it does not. Both ''pyrethrum'' and "pellitory" derive ultimately from the ancient Greek for "fire" (πῦρ). Cultivation ''Anacyclus pyrethrum'' var. ''depressus'' (sometimes considered a separate species, ''Anacyclus depressus''), called mat daisy or Mount Atlas daisy, is grown as a spring-blooming, low-water ornamental. It produces mats of grey-green, ferny foliage and single daisy-li ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
