  • Red-stemmed buckwheat. Penza region

    In its development, the Penza region relies on the medical industry and creation of products for health: pharmaceutical goods, biologically active additives, natural cosmetics. At the RUSSIA EXPO, the region is presenting Bashkir red-stemmed buckwheat. The variety was obtained by breeders by selection from various hybrids and is included in the State Register of Breeding Achievements.



    Although the birthplace of red-stemmed buckwheat is the Urals region, it is successfully cultivated in the Middle Volga region, which includes the Penza region. Here this unpretentious plant has been cultivated since 2012 and is used as a medicinal raw material. At the moment, red-stemmed buckwheat is cultivated on an industrial scale on 7 hectares of fields located near the villages of Kulyasovo and Mamadysh in the Kameshkirsky district.

  • Ivan Chai. Novgorod region

    Ivan Chai (botanical name — Chamerion angustifolium, also known as Ivan-Tea, fireweed, rosebay willowherb) is a perennial and fast-growing herbaceous plant widespread in many regions of the Northern Hemisphere. Ivan Chai grows in the Novgorod region, where it is collected in the pristine and protected forests of the region.

     


    Ivan Chai has a dense rhizome and a straight stem that reaches up to two meters in height, narrow wedge-shaped leaves, and pinkish-purple inflorescences. In summer, it can be found not only in the forest but also in gardens, as it easily adapts to both shade and open sunlight.

    People have valued this plant since ancient times. The gathering of this medicinal herb takes place from mid-June to mid-July during the flowering period. In August-September, the inflorescences are covered with fluff, thin white hairs of seeds that emerge from the mature, pod-like fruits. All parts of the herb, from the flowers to the roots, are considered medicinal.

  • Caucasian rhododendron. Karachay-Cherkess Republic

    Caucasian rhododendron, or mountain rose (also known as snow rose), is one of the symbols of Karachay-Cherkessia, which has even found its place on the coat of arms of the region. In early summer, the honey-bearing and healing plant decorates green alpine meadows and the banks of hundreds of crystal-clear mountain rivers and lakes of the republic, located at an altitude of more than 2000 meters, with its blossoms. Having caught the fragrance of the delicate flower once, mountain lovers return to it again and again. Rhododendron is an endemic of the North Caucasus and is listed in the Red Data Book.


    Caucasian rhododendron (popularly known as alpine or mountain rose) is an evergreen shrub of the Heather family (Ericaceae). It is the largest species in the heather family, in height reaches 1-1.5 meters. This ancient plant originated on earth several million years ago. Its name comes from the Greek words "ronon" — rose and "dendron" — tree. Italian physician, philosopher and botanist Andrea Cesalpino in 1585 gave a name to plants of this genus - rhododendron. In total, rhododendron counts about a thousand species, there are five of them in the Caucasus.

  • Great burnet. Omsk region

    Great burnet belongs to the Rosaceae family. In Russian, it is known as krovohlebka (blood sucker), rodovik, gryzhnik, krasnogolovka (red head), krovogolovka (blood head), krovostyag, ogoroshnik, styagnikrov, and adder’s potion. Its scientific name, Sanguisórba officinális, comes from the Latin words sanguis — blood, sorbeo — to absorb, and officinális — medicinal. Despite its ominous name, this plant has remarkable properties.


    There are eight species of Sanguisorba found in Russia, the most well-known being the great burnet (S. officinalis), a perennial reaching up to 100, sometimes 120 cm in height. In the Omsk region, the great burnet is widespread: found in forest glades, steppe meadows, and taiga zones.


    According to legend, the goddess Flora once discovered a leech on her leg while walking by a forest lake and became very angry. She threw the bloodsucker away, commanding it to become a plant. Thus, the leech turned into great burnet.

  • Lilacs. Belgorod region

    The Belgorod region can rightfully be considered the capital of lilacs. For several years, local breeders have been meticulously cultivating various varieties of this beautiful plant.



    Today, the syringarium at the Belgorod University Botanical Garden boasts more than 500 varieties. Here, lilacs are not only collected but also propagated using the most modern technologies. The laboratory for micro-clonal propagation of lilacs annually sends more than 5,000 test-tube-grown seedlings to nurseries across Russia for further growth. This means that today Belgorod lilacs grow in every corner of our country. Of course, they also adorn the regional capital and other settlements of the Belgorod region.

  • Schisandra. Amur region

    Chinese magnolia vine or five-flavor berry (lat. Schisándra chinénsis) is a species of flowering plants of the genus Schisandra in the family Schisandraceae.


    It is a unique plant of the Far East, a woody deciduous creeping liana 10-15 m long and up to 1.5-2 cm in diameter, in northern areas — up to 2-4 m long, spirally winding supports clockwise.


    Europeans learned about Chinese magnolia vine in the early XIX century, about the same time Russian scientists became interested in it. In 1895, botanist and connoisseur of Far Eastern plants Vladimir Komarov published the stories of hunters that, going to the taiga for a long time, they do not take large stocks of food, and instead restore their strength with dried Schisandra berries. Thanks to this, they can chase sables for days without food and rest, keeping vigor of mind and sharpness of eye. Fishermen, leaving for a voyage, stocked up on the juice of the fruit of this liana, as it relieves seasickness.
