About 2-3 m high shrubs, evergreen, flowers red or violet. Seeds elliptic-obovoid with membranous wing around seed, 2-3.6 x 1-1.2 mm. Surface furrowed, lustrous, brown. 2n = 26. Originally growing in the Himalayas in light forest; cultivated in gardens and parks in many cvs, a shadow-demanding species. [Atlas of Seeds and Fruits of Central And East-European Flora]
The fresh and dried flowers have a sweet and sour taste and are used in the preparation of squash, jams, jellies and local pleasant brew drank daily as refreshing appetizer and also to prevent high altitude sickness. Fresh petals are used to prepare a chutney known as ‘barah ki chutney’ [Edible Medicinal And Non-Medicinal
Plants, Vol-7]
Uses: Flowers sour-sweetish in taste and flowers are eaten, but when consumed in excess they are said to cause intoxication. Stamen and young leaves said to be poisonous, have been reported to produce toxic symptoms when eaten by livestock. Tender stem extract applied on forehead to allay vertigo; bark used in preparation of a kind of snuff. Juice of the young leaves applied to forehead for headache, also used for rheumatic pains; tender leaves applied to forehead for headache. Flowers in treating coughs and fever, also a remedy for dysentery and bloody dysentery; fresh and dried petals efficacious in checking diarrhea and blood dysentery; corolla used to cure diarrhea. Androecium often used to poison the rats. Young leaves used to poison fish. Magic, the name of this flower said when a bone of a fish stuck in the throat while eating fish and once said the bone goes down in the intestine.) [CRC World Dictionary of MEDICINAL AND POISONOUS PLANTS Common Names, Scientific Names, Eponyms, Synonyms, and Etymology]
Leaf—anticephalalgic (applied to the forehead). Leaf and stem-bark—spasmolytic. Flowers— used in diarrhoea and dysentery. The green leaves contain a glucoside, ericolin. The extracts of leaves, stems and bark cause hypotension in cats and inhibit intestinal movements in rabbits. The acetone and chloroform extracts and a resinous fraction from the alcoholic extract of leaves depress respiration. The petroleum ether extract decreases the rate of heartbeat and contraction in isolated heart of frog. [Indian Medicinal Plants An Illustrated Dictionary]
