China has a vast territory and abundant resources, and wild plant resources are also quite rich, especially in rural areas, where there are a variety of wild plants such as weeds, but even so, there are still many plants that need to be introduced from abroad. among these wild vegetation introduced from abroad, there are many strange weeds that many people have not seen, let alone their role. Below, the author introduces to you such a weed introduced from abroad, which is quite peculiar.

In many cities in the south of our country, an exotic plant was introduced, which later escaped as a weed and grew in the countryside. This kind of weed is probably unseen by many people. its scientific name is shrimp grass or shrimp flower, and it is a kind of weed native to Mexico. To say how strange this weed is, when it blossoms, you will find that its flowers are very similar to the delicious food "lobster" that we often eat now, so it has the title of shrimp clothes and flowers. Does the following picture look like lobster? But people only know that it blossoms beautifully, but it does not know that it also has a name, called "Kirin spits beads".

Because the shrimp flower will protrude a white petal at the front end of the flower after flowering, it is also known as "Kylin spitting beads". It is precisely because Kirin spits beads and blossoms with such a strange appearance and full of appreciation that it is very popular in southern cities. Therefore, in the rural areas of the south, there are also many farmers who specialize in growing weeds like Kylin beads. According to farmers who know them, at present, Kirin beads can be sold for 60 yuan per pot, which is also a way for farmers to get rich.

According to Chinese Materia Medica, the leaves and stems of Kirin spitting beads can be used as medicine, which has the effects of clearing away heat and detoxification, removing blood stasis and detumescence, and can be used to treat boils, boils, falls, pains, colds and other symptoms, but if this kind of weed is used in medicine, it tastes more spicy, like chili. Therefore, the author does not suggest that Kirin spit beads as an herbal medicine, but as an ornamental flower.
