RHODIOLA
Family:
Crassulaceae.
Species used :
As always, only 36 or maybe 60 and possibly 90 Rhodiola species are confused in people with advanced botany degrees. It's like a stamp collector. Edge ink stain makes it rare. I just want to scream. The primary drug used by most people is Rhodiola rosacea, but many of the related species are used medicinally in the areas where they grow. Due to the interest in R. Roseau, this genus was intensively examined for activity. R. crenulate, R. Quadrifidi, R. Heterodont, R. Semenov, R. stateliness, R. sacra, R. fastigiate, R. kinilaw , R. Bupleuroides, R. imbricate, Rodentia and R. interiliac.
Synonyms :
Rhodiola is very similar to Sedum and was once included in its genus. Therefore,Roseau can be called Sedum Roseau.
Common names :
Iwabenkei, Golden Root, Rose Root, Stonecrop, Arctic Circle. Fresh roots smell of roses, which is why the name comes from. They are golden and therefore golden hearts.
Use partial route.
