Summary
| Description |
English: Detail of Physochlaina praealta flowers cropped from a larger image showing the plant growing by the Tibetan sacred lake Manasarovar near the (equally sacred) pilgrimage site Mount Kailash. This tropane-rich plant is used in the Himalaya in the treatment of boils. Dried plant material is used also as a type of pesticidal livestock bedding, said to kill fleas and lice.
The chemistry of the genus Physochlaina is similar to those of other genera of the Hyoscyameae, a tribe of the Solanaceae having its centre of distribution in the Hengduan Mountains of the extreme Eastern Himalaya. |
