Pallas jaundice (lat. Erysimum pallasii) - a representative of the genus Jaundushnik of the Cabbage family, or Cruciferous. In nature, the species in question is found mainly in North America, as well as in Eastern Siberia, Sakhalin and Kamchatka. Typical habitats are rocky and gravelly areas. It is grown in culture, but infrequently, although it can boast of high decorative properties. It is often used in alternative medicine as an expectorant and tonic.
Characteristics of culture
Pallas jaundice is represented by perennial herbaceous plants with a height of no more than 20 cm. Also, in nature, you can capture dwarf specimens that do not exceed 5-6 cm in height. They are characterized by elongated linear foliage of green color with a grayish tint, which is formed due to pubescence with short, compressed hairs. The flowers are medium, dark crimson, collected in small inflorescences, no more than 5 cm in diameter. As a rule, one inflorescence contains 20-22 flowers.
The fruits are in the form of pods, no more than 9 cm long. The representative of the genus under consideration looks especially impressive in rocky gardens; it can also take a strong place in low-growing flower beds and in the foreground of mixborders.
Cultivation conditions
Pallas jaundice belongs to the category of warm and light-loving plants. It is recommended to plant it in lighted areas. A light openwork shade is not forbidden, but a thick shade can become a direct obstacle to active development and abundant flowering. Often, in densely shaded areas, plants are affected by fungal diseases, often wither, and then die, especially if the shadow is accompanied by high soil moisture.
Soils for successful cultivation of Pallas jaundice are preferable nutritious, water and air permeable, light, neutral. On salty, clayey, poor and damp soils, the plant feels defective, significantly lags behind in growth, does not bloom. On poor soils, cultivation is possible only if they are qualitatively and abundantly saturated with organic and complex mineral fertilizers.
It is worth noting that the Pallas jaundice is quite resistant to pests and diseases, exactly like its closest "brothers". However, with waterlogging of the soil or excessive fertilization with nitrogen fertilizers, plants are affected by white rust, which leads to deformation of young shoots, and then to the formation of pustules with subsequent death. Affected specimens should not be treated with drugs, it is better to remove them in a timely manner, otherwise mass death cannot be prevented.
Medicinal use
Pallas jaundice belongs to the category of medicinal plants. Its aerial part contains a huge number of nutrients required to maintain the proper functioning of all vital organs and systems, including glycosides, organic acids and flavonoids. Tincture, broth and tea with the inclusion of jaundice are recommended to be taken orally as a protective, anti-inflammatory, expectorant and sedative.
Its use is not prohibited with reduced immunity. Since funds based on Pallas jaundice have contraindications, it is necessary to consult a specialist before use. In no case should they be taken by pregnant and lactating women, as well as children. Infusions and decoctions are not recommended for people suffering from atherosclerosis, endocarditis and myocarditis.
