scrophularia

The family name is based on the name of the included genus Scrophularia.

The name Scrophularia comes from scrofula, a form of tuberculosis, because several species have been used to treat this disease.

The larvae probably feed on Scrophularia species.

An abortive or rudimentary stamen is called a 'staminodium', such as in 'Scrophularia'.

These wings are more obvious than on the closely related Common Figwort (Scrophularia nodosa).

The Scrophularia umbrosa biosynthetic pathway is different from Gardenia jasminoides.

I stayed at my table, busy with quill and ink, recording the medicinal uses of a herb named scrophularia, commonly known as figwort.

Selago is a genus of plant in family Scrophulariaceae, closely related to Scrophularia and Verbascum.

Species of Scrophularia all share square stems, opposite leaves and open two-lipped flowers forming clusters at the end of their stems.

Figworts(Scrophularia)

The genus Scrophularia of the family Scrophulariaceae comprises about 200 species of herbaceous flowering plants commonly known as figworts.

The adults feed on small insects and the large, greyish-white, black-spotted larvae feed on Figwort, (Scrophularia).

Extracts of Scrophularia have been shown to reduce edema, cell infiltration and proliferation of activated T-lymphocytes in joint tissues.

The variegated figwort,Scrophularia aquatica 'Variegata', is also best grown for its basal foliage which, in damp soil, is stridently cream and well-sized.

The larvae feed on Baccharis, Horkelia, Lupinus, Helenium, Eriophyllum, Scrophularia and fern species.

Moreover, Scrophularia is the source of a unique glycoterpenoid, Verbascosaponin A, which is twice as potent as indomethacin for relieving inflammation and pain.

Scrophularia auriculata or Water Figwort is a perennial plant of the genus Scrophularia in the family Scrophulariaceae.

The larvae have been recorded feeding on Artemisia vulgaris, Thymus serpyllum, Scrophularia, Gnaphalium, Helichrysum and Thalictrum species.

The larvae feed on Ageratum, Salvia, Agastache, Mentha, Pycnanthemum, Monardella, Scrophularia and Lantana species.

This plant presents a clear bird pollination syndrome, a phenomenon shared with another 12 Macaronesian endemics (genus Muschia, Lotus, Isoplexis, Canarina, Echium and Scrophularia).

The larvae feed on Scrophulariaceae, Geraniaceae, Primulaceae, Labiatae and Caprifoliaceae species, including Castilleja species, Pedicularis furbishiae and Scrophularia californica, Penstemon whippleanus.

The larvae feed on Athyrium, Betula, Calluna, Caltha, Lamium, Primula, Rubus, Rumex, Scrophularia, Struthiopteryx, Vaccinium and Urtica species.

The species feeds on various plants, including Ajuga, Aster, Cirsium, Galeopsis, Linaria, Mullein, Plantago, Polyphagus, Primula, Rhinanthus, Scrophularia, Stachys, and Veronica species.

The main plant foods gathered were walnuts, saguaro fruits, juniper berries, acorns, sunflower seeds, manzanita berries, hackberries, the bulbs of the Quamash, and the greens of the Lamb's quarters, Scrophularia, and Lupinus plants.

Some species in this genus are known to contain potentially useful substances, such as iridoids, and several Scrophularia species, such as the Ningpo figwort or Chinese figwort (S. ningpoensis), have been used by herbal medicine practitioners around the world.
