roots and rhizomes: moisten the lungs, resolve phlegm, relieve asthma, relieve cough, stop bleeding, and relieve pain. For tuberculosis .

[Food value] The narrow-leaf lettuce is rich in vc, amino acids and crude protein, and the complex lettuce contains a high crude fat content. The content of total sugar, reducing sugar, carotene, and phosphorus in Ligusticum striata is higher. In the nutritional composition evaluation of its wild type and cultivated type, the content of protein and crude fiber in the cultivated type is slightly higher than that of the wild type. The wild type has a slightly higher content of protein and crude fiber. The content of reducing sugar and total sugar in the wild type is higher than that of the planted type, and the contents of vitamins: b1/b2 and , folic acid, and carotene in the leaves of the wild type Ligusticum elata are higher than those of the planted type.

2 Edelweiss

Edelweiss (scientific name: Leontopodium leontodioides (Willd.) Beauv.) is a perennial herbaceous plant of the genus Edelweiss in the Asteraceae family.

[Stem] The underground stem is thick and has short branches. It is wrapped by withered short leaf sheaths. There are many clustered flower stems and root strips, and there are no rosette-shaped leaves. The flower stem is erect, 5-45 cm high, thin, straight or sometimes slightly curved, covered with gray-white villous or white sub-seriform hairs, unbranched or sometimes with corymb-shaped or sub-racemose inflorescence branches in the upper part, and inflorescence branches in the lower part. The leaves are denser and sparse in the upper part. The internodes are 5-20 mm long, and the upper part sometimes reaches 10 cm. The lower leaves wither and persist during the flowering period.

[Leaves] The leaves are upright, sometimes unfolding after flowering, linear or linear-lanceolate, 2-4.5 cm long, 0.2-0.5 cm wide, with a pointed or slightly pointed apex, a long tip, a slightly wider base, and no sheath. , sessile, with flat or sometimes recurved or wavy edges, gray-green above, pubescent, and white or gray-white dense cotton or sometimes silk hair below.There are few bract leaves, slightly shorter than the upper leaves, often wider, oblong or linear, with a slightly pointed apex, and the base is tapered, covered with white or gray-white thick hairs on both sides or below, as long as the inflorescence or 1.5-2 times longer, in Male plants are more or less spread out into bract groups, while female plants are more or less upright and not arranged into obvious bract groups.

[Flowers and Fruits] The flower heads are large, about 7-10 mm in diameter on female plants, 3-7 densely packed, sparsely 1 or more, and often have longer peduncles arranged in a corymb shape on female plants. The involucre is hemispherical, 4-6 mm long, covered with white cotton hairs; the involucre is about 4 layers, colorless or brown, often narrow and pointed, slightly exposed above the hairs. Small flowers are dioecious and are dioecious; the male flower corolla is 3.5 mm long, narrow funnel-shaped, with small lobes; the female flower corolla is filamentous, grows after flowering, and is about 4.5-5 mm long. The crown hairs are white; the male crown hairs are sparse or slightly thick, with serrated or hairy teeth; the female crown hairs are filamentous and have microteeth.

[Distribution] Edelweiss is native to high-altitude areas in Europe and South America; it is also distributed in Mongolia, North Korea, Japan, Russia, and China. It often grows in dry grasslands, loess slopes, gravel fields, and mountainous grasslands at an altitude of 100-3200 meters, and rarely grows in wetlands. It likes sunshine, is cold-resistant, drought-resistant, barren-resistant, and slightly tolerant of humidity.

Shanxi Province Germplasm Shenchi Chinese Medicinal Materials Nursery

Shenchi County is located in the Guanluo Mountains of Shanxi Province. Its unique "three highs" (alpine cold, high latitude, high altitude) climate has nurtured local rich wild plant resources.

Shanxi Zhongnong Fushen Plateau Crop Agriculture Research Co., Ltd. Base (hereinafter referred to as the "Fushen Base"), with the goal of collecting, protecting and researching different types of wild plant resources, applied to establish the Shanxi Province Germplasm Shenchi Traditional Chinese Medicine Nursery. A survey was conducted on the wild plant resources in Luya Mountain. At present, 207 species of wild plant germplasm resources have been collected, involving 54 families and 142 genera in plant classification levels, including more than 20 rare species in Shenchi County such as Cypripedium spp., Hops , Maojiancao , Huanghaitang . Wild plant germplasm resources. In the next step, we will continue to collect and protect more wild plant germplasm resources, plan to establish a germplasm resource database, and carry out research on key technologies for the protection of wild plant germplasm resources.
