What kind of plant is the small yellow flower mentioned by Eshan people?

The small yellow flower that Eshan people say is called dog's tooth.

Although this plant is short, it is unusual, and friends who grew up in the countryside should be deeply impressed by it. This has fulfilled an old saying: gold always shines, and dog tooth vegetables are short and inconspicuous, but it is too difficult to remember them.

Dog tooth grass is also called dog tooth grass, Buddha nail, iron nail, gold insert and so on. Sedum sarmentosum is a perennial herb of Sedum family. This plant is relatively short, generally 5- 15CM, and basically grows by creeping close to the ground. However, it is plump and looks like a succulent plant. Moreover, the leaves are round and blunt, shaped like dog teeth, so the people often call them "dog teeth dishes."

The reason why this plant is unforgettable for farmers is that its vitality is very tenacious. Pig excrement beans can grow on crops, wasteland, roadsides and even rocks. Moreover, it has strong drought tolerance and strong reproductive ability. Cut a root into several pieces, and then it will take root and sprout quickly in geography.

Dog tooth grass also has strong cold tolerance. Before the warm weather in spring, it will come out, and in April and May, it will also produce beautiful yellow flowers. If it is a growth, it is very beautiful.

In rural areas, many people just regard it as a kind of weed that is difficult to remove. If there are any in the crops, pick them out one by one, put them in the laundry list, then pick them all out and throw them on the road. Because if you leave it in the ground, it won't die in the sun, and it will grow back after a rain. Moreover, its reproductive ability is amazing, and several can grow into a large piece.

But many people don't know that dog tooth vegetables also have great value, especially today. First of all, it is a good wild vegetable. Since it's called dog tooth, it must be edible. Cornus officinalis is a wild vegetable eaten in early spring in many places. It can be used not only for cold salad and stir-fry, but also for making steamed buns and jiaozi. Although it tastes a little sour, it is still refreshing.

Secondly, dog teeth can also be used as medicine. In the past, when farmers fell down on the mountain and were injured and bleeding, or were bitten by poisonous snakes, they would use dog tooth grass to stop bleeding and apply it to the wound.

This is because the whole herb can be used as medicine, which has the effects of clearing away heat and toxic materials, removing blood stasis, reducing swelling and stopping bleeding. Can be used for treating sore throat, hepatitis, carbuncle, sore, snake bite, lumbago, fire pill, burn and scald.

In the city, dogtooth has become a hot cake. Not by the catty, but by the pot. A small pot costs more than ten or twenty yuan. This is because dog tooth vegetables are loved by rich people in many cities, and they regard them as ornamental plants one after another, that is, succulents that many people often say. In addition, due to its strong cold tolerance, it can also be used for greening roofs and lawns.
