description

Appearance and foliage leaf

The rowan tree grows as a subshrub or perennial herbaceous plant and reaches stature heights of usually 50 to 130, rarely up to 170 centimeters. It is fragrant. The roots are thick and lignified. Each plant forms a relatively large number of upright, branched stems that can become lignified at their base and are brown, bald or sparsely hairy.

The alternate leaves are stalked. With a length of (2 to) usually 3 to 6 centimeters and a width of 0.2 to 1.5 millimeters, the leaf blade is broadly ovate in outline and has two to three pinnate parts. The leaf sections are linear to thread-shaped. The upper side of the leaf is bare and the underside of the leaf is sparsely hairy.

Inflorescence, flower and fruit

The flowering period extends from late summer to autumn. At a height of 10 to 30 centimeters and a diameter of 2 to 10 centimeters, widely branched total inflorescences are arranged numerous, nodding, relatively small cup-shaped partial inflorescences. The egg-shaped cup shell (involucre) contains many, roof-tile-like arranged, pressed and sparsely hairy, elongated-elliptical bracts . The flat bottom of the cup has no chaff leaves .

The flowers are all tubular. The 14 to 16 (rarely up to 20) in the middle are hermaphroditic and the mostly four to eight (rarely up to 15) marginally female. The glandular, yellow petals are fused into a 0.5 to 1 millimeter long tube.

The bald and often light brown achenes are ellipsoidal, two to five-sided and weakly ribbed with a length of 0.5 to 1 millimeter.

Chromosome number

The number of chromosomes is 2n = 18.

ingredients

The rowan tree contains 0.18 to 1.4% essential oil , 2 to 3% abrotanin and bitter substances . Depending on the chemical race, the main ingredient is either 1,8-cineole (up to 60%) or thujone (up to 70%). Other ingredients are Fenchene , sabinene , α-caryophyllene and β-caryophyllene. Rowan oil contains the heterocyclic sesquiterpenes davanol, davanone and hydroxydavanone. Non-volatile ingredients are the alkaloid abrotin, coumarins (isofraxidin, umbelliferone), flavone glycosides (rutin) and free flavonol ethers (various dimethyl ethers of quercetin ). The bitter taste is caused by sesquiterpene lactones (absinthine) and the glycoside rutin .

distribution

Probably originating from the Near East, the Eberraute found its place in many monastery gardens of the Middle Ages. Their original homeland ranges from Albania , Bosnia and Herzegovina and Croatia to the southern European part of Russia and Ukraine to Turkey , Armenia and the foothills of the Caucasus . It is widely grown. The wildwood is wild in many areas.

In the Austrian federal states of Burgenland , Lower Austria , Vienna and Carinthia as well as in the Italian province of South Tyrol, the Eberraute occurs inconsistently and rarely only in overgrown stocks.

use

The plant seems to have been cultivated in Germany from the 9th and 10th centuries. The Capitulare de villis vel curtis imperii and other garden inventories they call "Abrotanum". The abbot Walahfrid Strabo said in the 9th century that it had as many advantages as leaves. For example, they were used to drive away flies and parasites ( repellants ). It is gaining popularity again as an ornamental plant in "dry gardens", "rock gardens", "steppe gardens" or "gravel gardens" because it is drought tolerant.

Eberraute in the kitchen

Rowan is no longer a common aromatic plant today . There are two types of culture: One with an obtrusive lemon odor ("lemon berry rue") and a newer one that smells even stronger ("battle berry rue", "camphor rue"). Because of its intense and bitter taste, it must be dosed carefully. As a seasoning herb, Eberraute is mainly suitable for refining fatty meat. The bitter substances develop an appetite and digestive effect. Sometimes it is also added to tender meat. Similar to parsley , it can be integrated into a bouquet garni .

Eberraute in medicine

According to Madaus , most authors used the herb or the top shoots, some also used the seeds. At Hippocrates, the plant cleanses the uterus, accelerates births and helps with pneumonia. Columella names them for abdominal pain in animals, Pliny as a component of ointments, Scribonius Largus with wine for aconite poisoning and tightness in the chest, Dioscorides for shortness of breath, internal fractures, cramps, hip pain, as a diuretic , emmenagogue and antidote . The Middle Ages used Abrotanum as in ancient times, for example for shortness of breath, jaundice , maternal ailments and wounds. Hildegard von Bingen mentions it in a recipe for gastric wine. According to Madaus, Paracelsus ' indications are nerve pain, spasm, weak limbs, asthma, cough, hip pain, vaginal ulcers , roundworms , as a diuretic and emmenagogue. This can also be found in Lonicerus' Kreuterbuch (1564), who recommends the herb with celery for urinary stones , externally for boils , with radish oil for hair loss and fever. Matthiolus' New-Kreuterbuch (1626) mentions rodwort for asthma , urinary retention , urinary urgency and hip pain. Hecker's Practical Medicine (1814) compares it with the effects of chamomile, Osiander's folk medicine ( 1829) calls it for menstrual colic . According to Madaus, Abrotanum is also used in tuberculosis of the intestine, lung and abdominal water with cachexia , anemia , gastric ulcer , rheumatism , gout , chilblains , elephantiasis , folk medicine also boiled externally with beer against dandruff. The Homeopathy knows Abrotanum in umbilical secretions from newborns or in case of diarrhea, alternating with stomachache, hemorrhoids rheumatism, with emaciation despite cravings. According to Tabernaemontanus 1625, 1588, Eberraute - called by him "Stabwurz" - helped against "the germ and heart lock" and "kills and drives out the worms of old people and young children" when it is "powdered and taken with milk or honey" becomes. According to Nicholas Culpeper ( The English Physitian Enlarged ), boarwood was also a wonderful remedy for male baldness: “The ashes of the boarwood are mixed with old salad oil and help those who have lost their hair and who are bald, that their hair grow back, either on the head or on the beard. ”Medical effects have been found for nervous stomach problems. An appetite stimulating effect has also been confirmed.

Eberraute in superstition

The popular name for Eberraute is in English "maiden's ruin" ("Jungfernverderb", in German also "Jungfernleid"), which alludes to its alleged effect as an aphrodisiac.

If you wanted to win a girl's love, you had to slip a few twigs of boarweed under her apron ribbon unnoticed. But because love was only bewitched, it only lasts a few years before turning into the opposite. Maybe that's why the plant is called Kiss-me-quick-and-go in English .

Those who feared falling asleep during the church sermon on Sundays should carry some twigs of boar's lozenge with them, because their scent will keep you lively during the longest sermon.

Taxonomy

The first publication was made of this kind in 1753 under the name Artemisia abrotanum by Linnaeus in Species Plantarum , Volume 2, page 845. A homonym is Artemisia abrotanum Thunb. It was published in Carl Peter Thunberg : Flora Japonica, ... p. 309, in 1784 . Carl Ludwig Willdenow published this species again in 1818 under the name Artemisia procera in Species Plantarum. Editio Quarta. Berolini , Volume 3, Edition 3. Since the name published first has priority , these names are synonyms . Further synonyms are Artemisia elatior Klokov , Artemisia herbacea Willd. , Artemisia paniculata Lam. and Artemisia proceriformis Krasch.

etymology

The German common name Eberraute should not suggest any relationship with the rhombus , this plant species has nothing to do with a boar either; “Eberraute” is possibly just a corruption of the Latin-Thracian abrotanum , which in Greek should be used as “habrótanon”.

Probably folk-tymologically, the common name Eberraute is derived from the old German “ Aber ”, as in the case of the mountain ash , in the sense of “false diamond”.

It is also called rodwort, boar rice, Gartheil or pastor's herb. . Other names: NHG Eberreis , Abraute or But diamond , Tender mugwort ; Latin abrotanum masculinum (in contrast to the female abrotanum feminum , which probably meant the "mugwort tree" Artemisia arborescens L. ).

In the German-speaking area, the following other trivial names are or were used for this plant species, sometimes only regionally: Abereis, Abergans ( Low German ), Aberon, Aberzwurz ( Middle High German ), Abrand, Abraut ( Tyrol ), Abrauten, Abriza (Middle High German), Abruten , Tee, Aeberraute, Aeberreiss ( Thuringia ), Aebri (Middle High German), Affrude ( Hamburg ), Affrutsch, Alprausch (Middle High German), Alpraute, Alprute (Middle High German), Ambrund ( East Frisia ), Anruten ( Austria ), Aue, Aufrutsch, Averonde, Avered ( Middle Low German ), Averitze (Middle Low German), Averöde (Middle Low German), Averute (Middle Low German), Awetze ( Hessen near Fritzlar ), Barthün ( Wasungen ), Barthuhn, Besenkraut, Colakraut, Ebberwurz (Middle High German), Eberreis ( Württemberg , Wetterau ), Ebereiss (Middle High German), Ebereize (Middle High German), Eberich (Middle High German), Eberroth ( Rendsburg pharmacy), Eberwurz (Middle Low German and Middle High German), Eb reiss, Ebrist, Ebritten, Elfrad, Everik (Middle Low German), Evritte (Middle Low German), Everitte (Middle Low German), Everrude (Hamburg, Middle Low German), Everwort (Middle Low German), Evritte (Middle High German), Ganferkraut, Gandago ( Old High German ), Gartenhain (Hesse) ), Gartenhan (Hessen, Henneberg), Gartenheil, Garthade (Middle High German), Garthagen, Garthaglen (Middle High German), Gartham (Middle High German), Garthan, Garthayen (Middle High German), Gartheil ( Silesia ), Garthrim, Gartwurz, Gentwurz, Gertel (as early as 1478 mentioned), Gertelkraut, Gertwurz, Girtwurz, Gürtelen ( Swabia ), Gürtelkraut ( Memmingen ), Gurtel (mentioned as early as 1482), Herrgotthölzel (Austria), Hofrun ( Bremen ), Iverunt (Middle High German), Kampferkraut ( Switzerland ), Kindelkraut, Küttelkraut, Kutelkraut, Kuttelkraut, Pustreifk ( Pomerania ), Queritte, Sabwurz (Middle High German), Schabwurz (Middle High German), Schabawurz (Middle High German, in the sense of Stabwurz), Rülich (Middle High German) h), Schlosswurz ( Basel ), Schosswurz, Schuchwurz (Middle High German), Schweizerthen ( Bern ), Schwertzwurz (Middle High German), Stabwurz herb (Switzerland), Stabwurz (Old High German), Staffwurz, Stagewurz, Stallwurz, Dustwurz (Middle High German), Stavenwort (Middle Low German) , Stavewurz, Staworzel, Ziegenbart (Henneberg) and lemon herb (Switzerland, Thuringia).

Stagwurtz is warm and dry, and its smell, when someone anoints themselves with it, because of its scent, arouses melancholy and hot anger in people and tires their head. But if grinning begins to grow on a person's head, its juice is poured on those ulcers and it is healed. And where buln rise in a person's body, or where one of his limbs is cramped, one should crush Stagwurtz and put it around it, and its juice is also smeared on the spot. And he'll be better off. If, however, mange and cramped limbs linger, the boar's cane should be removed quickly, because it then damages rather than good. And if someone is tormented in his limbs by the gout, he takes enough stagwurtz and enough old fat and some tree oil, white them together in a crucible and put it so warm on the limbs in which the gout rests, pull it with a bandage together and do this often, then the gout will give way.
