Red mallow (Asplenium trichomanes)
Other names: red spleenwort, spleenwort
Harm score: 1 (Natural substances)
The red spleenwort, scientifically called Asplenium trichomanes, sometimes also referred to as red spleenwort or snowdrop, is a species of chaparral-like plant that is one of the best known and most commonly found members of the spleenwort family. It is an undemanding plant that can adapt to a wide variety of conditions and can grow in the harshest of conditions. It prefers a moist, semi-shady to shady environment with a calcareous substrate.
In earlier times, red spleenwort was used in the preparation of various medicines. The medicinal effects of this plant are based on its ability to stimulate secretions in the stomach and intestines, which can promote digestion and help in the treatment of digestive disorders. In the past, the plant was added in the production of certain liqueurs because of its specific taste and aromatic properties. However, it should be noted that there is insufficient scientific evidence for its current medicinal use in particular, and its use may be associated with some risk. Another use of red spleenwort is in landscape applications - it is a popular decorative element in shade gardens and rockeries. Its small, finely feathery leaves create a contrast with more robust plants and add a touch of naturalness to the garden.
