http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/19441008 "Toxicity studies on dermal application of plant extract of Dodonaea viscosa used in Ethiopian traditional medicine. Abstract Despite advances in the understanding of the medicinal properties of many herbs, the consumer today is confronted with the lack of or misinformation concerning the safety of these herbs that rivals the heyday of the patent medicine era. In the present study, Dodonaea viscosa (Sapindaceae), a medicinal plant commonly used for skin diseases in Ethiopia was subjected to a systematic dermatotoxicity study. To this effect, the dermatotoxicity of an 80% methanol extract of the leaf was investigated in animals following standard procedures for irritation, sensitization, acute toxicity and repeated toxicity tests. The skin irritation test in rabbits showed the extract to be a slight or negligibly slight irritant, with a primary irritation index of 0.45. A sensitization test in mice by the mouse ear swelling test method revealed the extract to be a non-sensitizer in the dose range 12-30 mg/mL. The percent responder was zero. The acute and repeated dermal toxicity tests on rats did not show any overt sign of toxicity. The findings of this study collectively indicate that dermal application of D. viscosa is not associated with any toxicologically relevant effects and the data could provide satisfactory preclinical evidence of safety to launch a clinical trial on a standardized formulation of the plant extracts. © 2009 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd."

Hi Guys, I want to use this site a lot more, so I wanted to add some pictures from my friends garden, sorry the pictures are not the best, it was getting dark I was in a rush and took what i could. will post some more pictures in the Ethno garden soon ;p peace zero

Nice pictures man, I can see why you love that place, its looks amazing.

I asked about the blue ones but he said he cant ID them

what about a vape pipe?

sorry but why would you bother to smoke coca leaf? this is a great post, I have never read about those herbs before. have to add some of them to my wanted list

I can just see inside the crack and it looks like a bug has eaten a hold in the seed I was thinking that when I got it. still great for desplay.

Hi guys, I found this interesting looking seed at a antiques shop, the guy had no idea what tree it was from. phytophiliac might like this so might I should start a silent auction. any ideas what it is? peace zero

I dont know what it is??? have been looking and trying to find that one out for some time. im sure I will find out one day. but wow there are some cool seeds around ay.

Yer I have been working on this one for some time, and HBWR does like a large pot, depends what size bonsai we are talking about as there is not just one size. I think the plant would do better as a Med to Large sized bonsai. peace zero

Hi Heffa, Ok cactus seeds, well all that oven light is doing is giving off a bit of heat, its the same type of bulb they use in salt lamps and ovens. most of my plants are all grown useing CFLs and it does the trick, I find it is best to keep them only a few inches away. cant talk about useing blacklight for plants but I have one spare and will be put to good use from now on. other than that keen them moist and warm with the right lighting and when they are big enough get them outside peace zero

what are you trying to grow? HPS works well with growing and flowering, MH works great for growing. LEDs and fluros are going to save you money with yout power bill but you have to keep them close to the plants. Im am trying out some color 96 fluro tubes and they seem to be working great in my tropical greenhouse. peace zero

yes Trichocaulon cactiformis is a ver nice plant, would love to have one, but they are quite rare down this way. and yes that is Lophocereus schottii monstrose, I have a one cutting a bit smaller than that, its such a nice plant.

haha woops, I forgot to even talk about the seed. its way too thick to be passionfruit, its hard wood, and there is a big seed inside. I really should give it a good clean.

seed are better for me anyway, plants are too hard to bring in
