Goodyera repens (L) R.Br.
Chinese names: Nantoubanye Lan (Pocket-sized, etched/reticulated leaf orchid), Xiuzhenbanye Lan (Pocket-sized etched leaf orchid); Goodyera repens (L) R.Br. is an orchid species known by various names in different languages. In Chinese, it is called Nantoubanye Lan (Pocket-sized, etched/reticulated leaf orchid), Xiuzhenbanye Lan (Pocket-sized etched leaf orchid), and Xiaobanye Lan (Small speckled leaf orchid). It is also referred to as Huasheyizhijian, which translates to "Floral snake single arrow." In North America, it is known as Dwarf rattlesnake plantain or Lesser rattlesnake plantain, while in Pakistan, it is called Creeping Ladies Tresses. This orchid is a small terrestrial herb with a tall, slim erect stem. It is widely distributed throughout the northern hemisphere, spanning from Scandinavia across Russia and China to Canada and the northern United States. It typically grows in shady areas with leaf-strewn, humus-rich, and moist soil in coniferous and deciduous forests, as well as in ravines and hill slopes. The life history of Goodyera repens is intriguing. The seeds are released in autumn and remain dormant until spring when they germinate. During summer, the seedlings reach a diameter of 1 mm, but they do not develop roots or leaves until the following summer, which marks their fourth growing season. Individual plants may take up to 8 years to flower. After flowering, the stem dies down, leaving a cluster of axillary shoots that form a colony. In terms of phytochemistry, Goodyera repens contains a small amount of alkaloid and produces a compound called loroglossin. This orchid has a long history of traditional medicinal usage. In Chinese herbal medicine, the entire plant is used to nourish the lungs and kidneys and relieve pain. It is employed to treat various ailments including fever, weepy sores, tuberculosis, coughs, weak lungs, weak kidneys, asthma, dizziness, backache, nocturnal emission, impotence, and snake bites. In India, Goodyera repens is used to address women's health issues, stomach ailments, and bladder diseases. The chewed leaves are applied to reptile bites, while mashed leaves are used to prevent infant rash. Additionally, it has been employed as a medicinal ingredient called "salep." It is important to note that further scientific research is needed to fully understand the chemical constituents and mechanisms of action underlying the medicinal properties of Goodyera repens. This can potentially lead to the development of new therapeutic treatments or applications based on its natural compounds. |

Pleione bulbocodioides (Franch.) Rolfe
Chinese names: Taiwanyiye Lan (Taiwan single leaf orchid), Yiye Lan (one leaf orchid), Dusuan Lan (single bulb orchid), Bingqiuzi (iceball) Japanese name: Sanjiko (This name also applies to Cremastra appendiculata) Vietnamese names: Som tu co, Mao tu co Pleione bulbocodioides (Franch.) Rolfe is an orchid species known by various names in different languages. In Chinese, it is called Taiwanyiye Lan (Taiwan single leaf orchid), Yiye Lan (one leaf orchid), Dusuan Lan (single bulb orchid), and Bingqiuzi (iceball). In Japanese, it is known as Sanjiko, which also applies to Cremastra appendiculata, and in Vietnamese, it is called Som tu co and Mao tu co. The name Pleione is derived from Greek mythology, where Pleione was the mother of the Pleiades, a small cluster of stars in the northern sky known as the Seven Sisters. The genus name was given by Mr. David Don, who wanted to indicate the characteristic clustering of pseudobulbs in these orchids. Pleione bulbocodioides is a popular orchid among collectors in the USA and Europe. In terms of herbal usage, China supplies Vietnam with the pseudobulbs of Pleione bulbocodioides, which are used to combat food poisoning and intoxication. They are also employed for the treatment of boils, snake and insect bites, as well as for clearing phlegm, acting as an antipyretic, and detoxifying the body. The whole plant is used to address wet sores, sore throat, and even rabies. Traditionally, it was regarded as a counter-poison and was used for snake bites in China. Pseudobulbs were also utilized in the treatment of tuberculosis and asthma. Regarding phytochemistry, several compounds isolated from the pseudobulbs of Pleione bulbocodioides have exhibited strong anti-inflammatory activity. One of these compounds is amentoflavone, which acts as a potent, caffeine-like calcium ion (Ca2+) releaser. It inhibits the expression of COX-2, thereby displaying anti-inflammatory properties. Amentoflavone has shown significant antiviral activity against influenza A and B viruses, as well as moderate activity against HSV-1 and HSV-2. It induces apoptosis (programmed cell death) in B16F-10 melanoma cells and inhibits angiogenesis (formation of new blood vessels) in melanoma and human breast cancer cells. This suggests its potential in developing new compounds targeting angiogenesis. Amentoflavone also inhibits angiogenesis in endothelial cells and stimulates apoptosis in hyperplastic scar fibroblasts. Additionally, it has been found to inhibit UVB-induced matrix metalloproteinase-1 expression in normal human skin fibroblasts, which could potentially help suppress skin photo-aging. In addition to amentoflavone, Pleione bulbocodioides contains other compounds with anti-inflammatory activity, including four new pyrrolidone-substituted bibenzyls (dusuanlansins A–D) and 19 other known compounds. These findings highlight the potential therapeutic properties of Pleione bulbocodioides and its constituents, particularly in the field of inflammation-related conditions. However, further research is needed to fully understand and utilize the pharmacological potential of this orchid species. |
