The weed is found abundantly growing anywhere here in our town, Pulupandan and in other parts of the
Philippines. And there must be a reason for this plant throwing profusely its seeds by wind and
spreading its population everywhere the seeds drop. The plant has medicinal uses and had been found
to have a high potential as a pesticide against mosquitoes. The leaves are eaten as vegetable in
West Africa.

Southernwood forms a small bushy shrub with small narrow and feathery leaves.
It has a strong camphor-like odour and was historically used as an air freshener
or strewing herb. It can easily be propagated by cuttings, or by division of the roots.
The pungent, scented leaves and small yellow flowers are used in herbal teas. Young shoots were
used to flavor pastries and puddings. In Italy, it is used as a culinary herb.

Ella: Extra caution however is needed when handling the plant. The sap of any broken part of the plant can cause allergic reactions. All plant parts are considered poisonous if ingested and sap may cause dermatitis.Scientific Name: Bryophyllum laetivirens
Family: Crassulaceae (Stonecrop Family). So named as "Mother of Thousands" because of the tiny plantlets growing at the rim of the leaves. The leaves themselves when partly buried in soil can grow roots and develop into a new plant.
