Description Leonurus cardiaca has a squarish stem which is clad in short hairs and is often purplish, especially near the nodes. The opposite leaves have serrated margins and are palmately lobed with long petioles; basal leaves are wedge shaped with three points while the upper leaves have three to five. They are slightly hairy above and greyish beneath. Flowers appear in leaf axils on the upper part of the plant and have three-lobed bracts. The calyx of each flower is bell-shaped and has five lobes.

Mullein Leaf

Mullein Leaf

Common Names: Common mullein, flannel plant, great mullein, woolly mullein It is a hairy biennial plant that can grow to 2 m tall or more. Its small, yellow flowers are densely grouped on a tall stem, which grows from a large rosette of leaves. It grows in a wide variety of habitats, but prefers well-lit, disturbed soils, where it can appear soon after the ground receives light, from long-lived seeds that persist in the soil seed bank. It is a common weedy plant that spreads by prolifically producing seeds, and has become invasive in temperate world regions.[1] It is a minor problem for most agricultural crops, since it is not a competitive species, being intolerant of shade from other plants and unable to survive tilling. It also hosts many insects, some of which can be harmful to other plants. Although individuals are easy to remove by hand, populations are difficult to eliminate permanently. Although commonly used in traditional medicine, no approved drugs are made from this plant.[2] It has been used to make dyes and torches.

Plantain

Plantain

Plantaginaceae (the plantain or veronica family) is a large, cosmopolitan family in the order Lamiales, including familiar flowers like snapdragon and foxglove. Traditionally limited to just three genera, phylogenetic studies expanded the family to include many former Scrophulariaceae. The conserved name Plantaginaceae (1789) takes precedence over Veronicaceae under ICBN rules. The family comprises herbs, shrubs, and some aquatic plants, with spiral to opposite leaves, variable often two-lipped flowers (4- to 8-merous), and loculicidal capsules. A related group (e.g., Lindernia) is now separated as Linderniaceae.

Self heal

Self heal

Perilla frutescens (known in Chinese as zǐsū 紫蘇) is the source of Japanese shiso and Vietnamese tía tô. English common names include beefsteak plant, perilla mint, Chinese basil, and wild basil. Purple-leaf varieties are also called purple mint. In the Ozarks, it is known as rattlesnake weed. The genus name Perilla can be ambiguous: var. frutescens is called egoma (Japan) or deulkkae (Korea). Red-leaf shiso was once named Perilla nankinensis. The plant likely originated in mountainous regions of India, China, or Southeast Asia.

Skullcap

Skullcap

Scutellaria (common name: skullcaps) is a genus of flowering plants in the mint family (Lamiaceae). The name comes from Latin scutella ("small dish"), referring to the shield‑like shape of the calyx, which also resembles a miniature medieval helmet. The genus has a near‑worldwide distribution, mainly in temperate regions. Most species are annual or perennial herbs (5–100 cm tall) with four‑angled stems, opposite leaves, and two‑lipped flowers; some are aquatic or subshrubs.

Sorrel

Sorrel

Sorrel (Rumex acetosa), also known as common sorrel or garden sorrel, is a perennial herb in the family Polygonaceae. Native to Eurasia, it grows in grasslands and is cultivated as a leaf vegetable or herb.

Tulsi (Holy Basil)

Tulsi (Holy Basil)

Ocimum tenuiflorum, commonly known as tulasi, tulsi, or holy basil, is an aromatic perennial plant in the family Lamiaceae.[2][3] It is widely cultivated throughout the Southeast Asian tropics.[1][4][5] It is native to tropical and subtropical regions of Asia, Australia and the western Pacific.[1] This plant has escaped from cultivation and has naturalized in many tropical regions of the Americas.[3][6] It is an agricultural and environmental weed.[3] Tulasi is cultivated for religious and traditional medicine purposes, and also for its essential oil. It is widely used as an herbal tea, commonly used in Ayurveda. It has a place within the Vaishnava tradition of Hinduism, in which devotees perform worship involving the plant or its leaves. Morphology Holy basil is an erect, many-branched subshrub, 30–60 cm (12–24 in) tall with hairy stems. Leaves are green or purple; they are simple, petioled, with an ovate blade up to 5 cm (2 in) long, which usually has a slightly toothed margin; they are strongly scented and have a decussate phyllotaxy. The purplish flowers are placed in close whorls on elongated racemes.[7] The three main morphotypes cultivated in India and Nepal are Ram tulsi (the most common type, with broad bright green leaves that are slightly sweet), the less common purplish green-leaved (Krishna or Shyama tulsi) and the common wild vana tulsi (e.g., Ocimum gratissimum).[8]

Valerian

Valerian

Valerian (Valeriana officinalis) is a perennial flowering plant in the family Caprifoliaceae, native to Europe and southwestern Asia. It grows up to 1.5 m (5 ft) tall, with erect, usually unbranched stems and pinnately divided leaves. From June to August, it produces sweet‑scented, pale pink to white flowers (2.5–5 mm) in clustered heads. The plant inhabits wet and dry meadows, woodlands, and marshes. Valerian root extracts are used in dietary supplements for mild sedative and sleep‑promoting effects, though evidence is mixed; it also induces a catnip‑like response in cats. The species is considered potentially invasive in parts of North America (e.g., Connecticut, New Brunswick).

Yarrow

Yarrow

Yarrow (Achillea millefolium) is a flowering perennial in the family Asteraceae, growing to 1 m (3⅓ ft) tall. It has small whitish to pink flowers, fernlike, bipinnately divided leaves, and a pungent, spicy odor. Native to temperate Eurasia and North America, it has been introduced elsewhere as livestock feed. The plant is used in traditional medicine and attracts a wide range of insects.
