Podophyllum Peltatum
''Podophyllum peltatum'' is a North American herbaceous perennial plant in the family Berberidaceae. Its common names are mayapple, American mandrake, wild mandrake, and ground lemon. Description Mayapples are woodland plants, typically growing in clonal colony, colonies derived from a single root. The stems grow to tall, with palmately lobed umbrella-like leaf, leaves up to diameter with 3–9 shallowly to deeply cut lobes. The plants produce several stems from a creeping underground rhizome; some stems bear a single leaf and do not produce any flower or fruit, while flowering stems produce a pair or more leaves with 1–8 flowers in the axil between the apical leaves. The flowers are white, yellow or red, diameter with 6–9 petals, and mature into a green, yellow or red fleshy fruit long. Though the common name is mayapple, in some areas it is the flower that appears in early May, not the "apple". The fruit or "apple" is usually produced early in summer and ripens later ...

Podophyllum Grayi
''Diphylleia grayi'', the skeleton flower, is a species of perennial plant in the family Berberidaceae. It is native to northern and central Japan. Description The plant grows up to . The flowers are white, pedicellate, with six obovate petals and bloom from May to July. After it flowers, it bears dark blue/purple fruit with a white powdery coating from June to August.

It grows in slightly moist places in the woods of high mountains. Medical uses In the 1960s, botanist Yanagi Kimura discovered that ''D. grayi'' crude extracts contain substances similar to, but more powerful than podophyllin and colchicine Colchicine is a medicatio ...

International Plant Names Index
The International Plant Names Index (IPNI) describes itself as "a database of the names and associated basic bibliographical details of seed plants, ferns and lycophytes." Coverage of plant names is best at the rank of species and genus. It includes basic bibliographical details associated with the names. Its goals include eliminating the need for repeated reference to primary sources for basic bibliographic information about plant names. The IPNI also maintains a list of standardized Author citation (botany), author abbreviations. These were initially based on Authors of Plant Names, Brummitt & Powell (1992), but new names and abbreviations are continually added. Description IPNI is the product of a collaboration between The Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew (Index Kewensis), The Harvard University Herbaria (Gray Herbarium Index), and the Australian National Herbarium (Australian Plant Name Index, APNI). The IPNI database is a collection of the names registered by the three cooperating ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Podophyllum Versipelle
''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 award for plants by the British Roya ...

Podophyllum Pleianthum
''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 cellular metaphase and microtubule formation in cells. Symptoms of intoxication include nausea, vomiting, diarrhea Diarrhea (American English), also spelled diarrhoea or diarrhœa (British English), is the condition of having at least three loose, liquid, or wa ...
