Bignonia (Campsis radicans)

[clinicalherbalist]

Cross-vine (Bignonia capreolata). A local plant with antipsychotic and antiparasitic properties. It contains many alkaloids including reserpine, which was a first-generation antipsychotic. There was at one time a patent remedy made from it, based on traditional use by Native tribes, that was for yaws, which is basically a type of syphilis spread by casual contact. . . . . #herbalmedicine #bignonia #flowers #yellow #medicinal plants #herbs #herbal

Bignonia

[turnbullephemera]

According to The gardener's dictionary of 1759, "M. Tournefort called this plant Bignonia, in memory of Abbot Bignon" (Jean-Paul Bignon, 1662-1743), who was librarian of Louis XIV. It was also called the Trumpet-flower, or Scarlet jasmine. Frederick Richardson of Dunedin was the first to advertise bignonia plants in New Zealand papers, in 1853. In the 1920s, the scarlet bignonia was said to have often used as a hedge-plant, and later as a cover for pergolas.
