This weed will stick to your pants, but it's valuable. If it grows on your side of the road, please pay attention to it.

There are many plants in rural areas that blossom and mature together with crops, and their seeds are very annoying, such as Bidens bipinnata and glazed grass, which can not be cleaned by sticking to the clothes for half a day, and the clothes will be pulled out by some silk thread that is too tight. This is too common in the countryside. Today, the value of this plant I would like to introduce is quite precious in the folk, but it is also sticky, although it is not as sticky as Bidens bipinnata and glazed grass. But it is also a relatively troublesome weed, in the harvest of crops, its fruit will often stick to the pants, it is called juniper.

The name may be relatively unfamiliar to many people. It is a perennial Compositae herb. It grows prominently in the ground because it is not short and easy to be seen by people. To be honest, the root system of Rabdosia angustifolia is not well developed. It is as thin as a beard, and it is rare. The lines on the edges of the leaves are very clear. It looks a bit like a carved pendant. Small yellow flowers bloom in summer, which is very similar to chrysanthemums in shape. The grass is on the roadside of my hometown and there will be cornfields. I prefer places with plenty of sunshine.

I only recently learned that Yunnan, Guangdong and Guizhou have the largest number of provincial governors. I remember when we were young, our hometown began to break corn after National Day. At that time, the fruit of the grass in the field was also ripe, very good at sticking pants, and carelessly sticking to the hair. However, apart from this small disadvantage, its herbs still have a lot of uses. The grass itself has a fragrant smell, and it tastes a little bitter, so it has a good effect on skin pruritus. Although the villagers did not know its popular name at that time, these folk methods were handed down in our village. Nowadays, some people in the village use it to wash their skin when they suffer from itching.

The Medicinal value of Rabdosia angustifolia

According to the records, it is mainly used for rheumatism arthralgia, weakness of muscles and bones, sore waist and knees, rubella and eczema.

I wonder if there are any in your hometown. If any readers see this article and know this weed, you are welcome to leave a message in the comments area.
