Phryma leptostachya seed
LATIN NAME: PHRYMA LEPTOSTACHYA
COMMON NAME: Lopseed
In the moist woods and the shaded banks of the north, the lopseed grows as a slender, erect, perennial herb with the oval, toothed, paired leaves and the long, slender spikes of small, pinkish-white, two-lipped flowers that open from the base upwards in the summer, the small, hooked fruits clinging to the passing fur. Growth is steadily, the plant forming a rounded crown that reaches 5-10 metres. Choose full sun and deep, fertile ground for this plant.
Scientific Research & Plant Biotechnology
The lopseed shows up in the studies of the woodland herbs of the north, its hooked fruits and its slender spikes keeping it in view in the work on the understorey plants of the moist forests and the hitchhiking seed dispersal of the woodland herbs. The research looks at the way the hooked fruits cling to the fur, the paired leaves spread the shade, and the seed biology of the small seeds within the hooked fruits.
Ecological & Economic Value & Wide Applications
In the shaded woodland garden, the lopseed rises with the neat, paired leaves and the slender spikes of small flowers that ripen to the hooked fruits, a quiet curiosity of the forest floor. The modest herb is a gentle companion for the fern and the woodruff, and the plant makes the fine woodland herb, the native-forest plant and the plant of the shaded, leafy garden. It is a plant for the shaded, sheltered, cool and humus-rich place.
To grow the Lopseed from seed, press the small seeds onto moist, leafy soil at once.
Press the small seeds onto moist, leafy soil at once, and keep the young lopseeds in the shaded, cool spot. The hooked fruits cling to the passing fur.
LATIN NAME: Phryma leptostachya
COMMON NAME: Lopseed
The lopseed is a neat, upright, slender, perennial herb of the shaded woodlands, and its fine, oval, toothed leaves and its tall, slender, upright spikes of the many small, white or pale-pink, two-lipped flowers have made it a fine and long-known plant of the region. It forms a low, spreading mat, to about sixty centimetres. It is a species of the flowering plant in the lopseed family, and it is native to the shaded woodlands of the eastern Asia and the eastern North America, while it grows in the shaded, moist places, and it is known as the lopseed.
The lopseed belongs to the lopseed family, Phrymaceae, and it is a species of the upright, slender, perennial herb, native to the shaded woodlands of the eastern Asia and the eastern North America, while it grows in the shaded, moist places, and it is known as the lopseed. It is prized for its tall, slender, upright spikes of the many small, white or pale-pink flowers.
Scientific Research & Plant Biotechnology
The lopseed has a real and distinguished place in the research. It has been studied in the chemistry of the natural products and the traditional use, since the roots and the aerial parts of the lopseed have a history of use in the traditional ways of the region, and researchers have examined the plant and its constituents, while the traditional uses of the plant have drawn attention in the international botanical press, and the study of the plant and its chemistry has been of continuing interest. The plant has also been studied in the botany and the ecology, since it is a native of the shaded woodlands of the eastern Asia and the eastern North America, and its relationships, its distribution and its role in the forest have been examined, while the ecology of the woodland herbs has been of continuing interest, and its fine, oval, toothed leaves have been of interest to the botanists. The species has also been studied in the ecology of the seed dispersal, since the small, dry, hooked fruits of the lopseed cling to the passing fur and are carried far on the coats of the animals, and researchers have examined the fruits and their clever dispersal, while the study of the hooked fruits has been of continuing interest, and the lopseed is a fine example of the wandering of the seeds. For a plant of such quiet interest, the lopseed has a rich and continuing record of study.
Ecological & Economic Value & Wide Applications
Ecologically, the lopseed is a generous plant of the shaded garden. Its tall, slender, upright spikes of the small, white or pale-pink flowers feed the bees and the many insects, and its fine, leafy growth gives a neat, fine presence to the woodland garden and the shaded border.
Its economic value is real. The lopseed is prized for its long history of traditional use and its fine, slender spikes, and its value has drawn attention in the international botanical press, while its fine, slender, leafy form has also made it a valued plant of the shaded garden. For a grower, the lopseed is an easy and rewarding plant, and for a gardener it brings a slender, white-spiked, leafy plant to the shaded garden. The seeds are easy to start — press them gently into the surface of moist, free-draining soil, keep them lightly watered, and theyll be sprouting readily, growing on into a slender, white-spiked, leafy plant.
