Dysosma
''Dysosma'' is a group of herbaceous perennials in the Berberidaceae or barberry family described as a genus in 1928. It is native to China and Indochina. The genus is not universally recognised by this name, as some authorities include the plants in the genus ''Podophyllum''. ''Dysosma'' is recognised by other authorities as including only those ''Podophyllum'' species which originate in China. ''Dysosma'' grow as perennial, rhizomatous wildflowers on the damp and humus-rich floors of deciduous forests. The single umbrella-shaped leaves grow on an erect stem that usually stands , but with height varying with species. The leaves may be completely green or mottled and flecked with purple; they have an entire or deeply serrated edge depending on species. The flowers are nodding and in a range of colours. The fruit is a dark red berry. ;Species # ''Dysosma aurantiocaulis'' - Yunnan, possibly Myanmar - Endangered # ''Dysosma delavayi'' - Guizhou, Sichuan, Yunnan, Shaanxi # ''Dysosm ...

Dysosma Pleiantha
''Podophyllum pleianthum'' (syn. ''Dysosma pleiantha''), the many-flowered Chinese mayapple, is a species of flowering plant in the genus ''Podophyllum'', native to south-central and southeast China, including Taiwan. Shade tolerant, and deer resistant due to its toxicity, it has gained the Royal Horticultural Society's Award of Garden Merit. Pharmacology Podophyllum pleianthum or Bajiaolian has been use in traditional Chinese medicine in China and Taiwan for the treatment of snake bite, weakness, condyloma accuminata, lymphadenopathy and tumors through ingestion of dried roots and rhizomes or application of resin. Podophyllotoxin is a major active ingredient in Podophyllum pleianthum that is cytotoxic, arresting celluar metaphase and microtubule formation in cells. Symptoms of intoxication include nausea, vomiting, diarrhea Diarrhea, also spelled diarrhoea, is the condition of having at least three loose, liquid, or watery bowel movements each day. It often lasts for a ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Dysosma Versipellis
''Dysosma versipellis'' is a species of flowering plant in the barberry family Berberidaceae, native to China. It is still widely referenced under ''Podophyllum versipelle'' and there is some debate as to its correct taxonomic status. Though it has quite a broad but sparse distribution in the damp, shady forests of south and west China, it has been designated as “Vulnerable” by the IUCN. A compact herbaceous perennial growing to tall and broad, it grows from underground rhizomes, with umbrella-shaped leaves and dark red, tubular, pendent flowers in spring. It is quite hardy in temperate zones, surviving temperatures down to . However, it requires a sheltered spot in dappled shade, with acid to neutral soil. Under the synonym ''Podophyllum versipelle'' the cultivar ‘Spotty Dotty‘, distinguished by bold brown leaf markings, has gained the Royal Horticultural Society’s Award of Garden Merit The Award of Garden Merit (AGM) is a long-established annual award for plants b ...

IUCN Red List Vulnerable Species (Plantae)
As of September 2016, the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) lists 5430 Vulnerable (VU) plant species. 25% of all evaluated plant species are listed as Vulnerable. The IUCN also lists 244 subspecies and 235 varieties as Vulnerable. No subpopulations of plants have been evaluated by the IUCN. For a species to be assessed as vulnerable to extinction the best available evidence must meet quantitative criteria set by the IUCN designed to reflect "a high risk of extinction in the wild". ''Endangered'' and ''Critically Endangered'' species also meet the quantitative criteria of ''Vulnerable'' species, and are listed separately. See: List of endangered plants, List of critically endangered plants. Vulnerable, Endangered, and Critically Endangered species are collectively referred to as ''threatened species'' by the IUCN. Additionally 1674 plant species (7.6% of those evaluated) are listed as ''Data Deficient'', meaning there is insufficient information for a full ...
