Elymus repens (species) (Elymus (genus), Poaceae (family), ... Living Organisms (hierarchy name)) |
|
Note: Species of grass native to Europe but naturalized elsewhere, often becoming an invasive weed spreading by long, white rhizomes. The foliage is used as forage for grazing mammals and as food by caterpillars; the seeds are eaten by finches, buntings, and other grassland birds. It has been used in herbal medicine since the Classical Greek period. It is used for medicinal purposes: it is believed that sick dogs will dig up and eat the root; it has antiseptic properties; mediaeval herbalists used it to treat urinary tract disorders and water retention. It also has antiseptic properties. Dried rhizomes have been used as incense.

Additional Notes: |
|
| Dutch ..... Grassoort die inheems is in Europa, maar tegenwoordig ook daarbuiten voorkomt en vaak een invasief onkruid is geworden. De plant verspreidt zich via de lange witte wortelstokken. De bladeren worden gegeten door grazende zoogdieren en rupsen. De zaadjes worden gegeten door vinken, gorsen en andere graslandvogels. Al sinds de klassieke oudheid gebruikt men de plant in de kruidengeneeskunde. Het volksgeloof wil dat zieke honden de wortels opgraven en opeten. De plant heeft antiseptische eigenschappen. Middeleeuwse kruidendokters gebruikten de plant voor de behandeling van patiënten die vocht vasthielden of met aandoeningen van het urinekanaal. Men gebruikte de gedroogde wortelstokken van de plant soms als wierook. |
