Probably, many Russians have heard about such a peculiar representative of the flora as the wolf's bast plant (poisonous). This perennial shrub, whose height in the natural environment usually does not exceed one meter, can be found in the forests of the Russian Federation (Caucasus, Siberia, the European part). In garden and park areas, where the best conditions are created and nothing interferes with growth, the wolf's bark stretches up to two and a half meters.
Description of the plant
Bright red, attractive and appetizing, the egg-shaped fruits of the plant, known by other names - the deadly wolf (or common), wolfberry, are actually not at all suitable for savoring, but, on the contrary, are poisonous.
Wolf's bast feels good in a slightly shaded place, but there should be enough nutrients in the soil. dependingDepending on the area, flowering occurs either in February-March, or in the period from April to May.
The elongated shape of the berries is a distinctive feature of the wolf's bast shrub. A poisonous plant refers to those species whose flowering is ahead of the appearance of leaves. On the still bare twigs in each bosom, where buds were green last year, sometimes three beautiful, pink and fragrant flowers bloom. With their smell, they vaguely resemble hyacinth, and outwardly differ little from lilac branches. The trunk of the shrub is gray-brown.
Dangerous Berry
The plant contains many of these substances, due to which it is extremely poisonous.
If, with the improper use of berries, the surface of the skin has acquired a pronounced red tint, blisters form or the stomach is upset, then meserine resin is most likely to blame. And the appearance of bleeding is provoked by daphrin glycoside. Therefore, we can safely say that the wolf's bast is a deadly poisonous plant.
Therefore, before starting treatment with drugs based on wolf's bast, it is necessary to consult a doctor. In addition to the substances described above, the berries are rich in essential oils and coccognin, and also contain fat. The bark that covers the trunk of the shrub contains wax and resins. Both the fruit and the bark are rich in colorants.
