Dallwatsonia stagnatilis

Dallwatsonia stagnatilis, also known as the Swamp Duckbill or Duckbill Orchid, is a rare and endangered species of flowering plant in the family Borsariaceae.

The plant is traditionally used for its medicinal properties, particularly in treating respiratory issues, and is known to contain flavonoids and phenolic acids that exhibit anti-inflammatory and antimicrobial activities.

The health benefits of Dallwatsonia stagnatilis include its potential to alleviate symptoms of bronchitis, asthma, and other respiratory conditions, as well as its antioxidant and immune-boosting properties.

Herbal preparations of the plant are often made by infusing the roots and leaves in hot water or using them in tinctures, although more research is needed to fully understand its effects and optimal uses.
