Appearance and leaves

In Lysimachia TYPES There are mostly perennial herbaceous plants , more rarely to half-shrubs that grow independently erect to prostrate. The vegetative above-ground parts of the plant often have glands that can be recognized as dots or lines.

The leaves, which are mostly opposite or in whorls , less frequently alternating on the stem , are simple and have entire margins.

Inflorescences, flowers and fruits

Flowers solitary in the upper leaf axils or in lateral or terminal, paniculate , trugdoldigen or racemose inflorescences , which are often shortened to capillary clusters. There are bracts available.

The hermaphroditic flowers are radial symmetry and usually five or rarely six to nine-fold with a double flower envelope . The usually five, rarely six to nine sepals are only briefly fused. The usually five, rarely six to nine petals are only briefly fused bell-shaped or almost wheel-shaped. The corolla lobes are unidirectional (monostrophic) in the bud cover, in the same direction of rotation of the estivation as in the related cyclamen . The colors of the petals are mostly yellow, less often white or pink. The five stamens are free or fused at the base to form a ring and more or less fused with the corolla tube.

The almost spherical capsule fruit usually opens with flaps when ripe, in a few species it remains closed.

Systematics and distribution

Taxonomy

The genus Lysimachia was founded in 1753 by Carl von Linné Species Plantarum 1, p. 146 and Genera Plantarum , Edn. 5 1754, page 72. The botanical genus name Lysimachia refers to the Greek general Lysimachos , one of the diadochi appointed by Alexander the Great ; The legend claims that Lysimachos first one Lysimachia discovered -Art. Synonyms for Lysimachia L. are: Apochoris Duby , Steironema Raf. , Naumburgia Moench , and since 2009 also Anagallis L. , Asterolinon Hoffmanns. & Link , Centunculus L. , Glaux L. , Pelletiera A.St.-Hil. and Trientalis L. .

Species and their distribution

The main distribution area of the genus Lysimachia is in temperate to subtropical areas of the northern hemisphere . Some species of the genus Lysimachia sl occur in Africa , Madagascar , Australia and South America . The genus Lysimachia has the greatest biodiversity in East Asia . In China there are 138 species in the genus Lysimachia s. st. In Central Europe there are grove loosestrife ( Lysimachia nemorum ), pennywort ( Lysimachia nummularia ), spotted loosestrife ( Lysimachia punctata ), ostrich loosestrife ( Lysimachia thyrsiflora ), common loosestrife ( Lysimachia vulis ) in the genus Lysimachia . st. in front.

There are 150 to 180 species in the genus Lysimachia s. str .. Here is a selection:

After Manns and Anderberg showed in 2005 that the genus Lysimachia s. st. without the species of the genera Anagallis , Pelletiera and Trientalis is paraphyletic , Manns and Anderberg published the necessary taxonomic changes in 2009 for a monophyletic genus Lysimachia sl: it thus contains about 33 more species:

use

Use as a medicinal plant

The loosestrife (Lysimachia vulgaris) is used as a remedy for gastrointestinal complaints such as diarrhea. It has also proven itself in the form of tea rinses for gum problems and mouth infections.

Use in the kitchen

The loosestrife is hardly known in the kitchen. In April and May the young leaves can be used with other wild herbs for herb quark, herb butter, soups, salads, smoothies and vegetable dishes. The flowers can also be used in salads and as a spread. The taste of the leaves and flowers is refreshingly sour and reminiscent of sorrel.
