Nature in my City – Part 55 // @SkinnyGirl / #Club5050
Hippeastrum Herb is a genus of perennial and bulbous plants native to subtropical and tropical regions of America, from Argentina to Mexico and the Caribbean.
These plants, cultivated throughout the world for their showy flowers, are popularly, but mistakenly, known as Amaryllis.
They are highly appreciated ornamental plants that are characterized by having large flowers of striking colors (red, pink, salmon, orange and white), which is why they have a very important place in commercial floriculture for sale as cut flowers or pot flowers.
In addition, due to the high content of alkaloids, some species of this genus are used in the pharmaceutical industry. An alkaloid isolated from Hippeastrum vittatum, montanin, has been shown to have antidepressant, anticonvulsant, and anxiolytic effects.
