Melampyrum oligocladum

Melampyrum oligocladum, also known as the lesser yellow pimpernel, is a flowering plant species within the family Orobanchaceae.

It is a hemiparasitic plant, which means that it derives some of its nutrients by parasitizing the roots of nearby plants while also producing its own food through photosynthesis.

Melampyrum oligocladum has been used in traditional medicine for its purported anti-inflammatory, antiseptic, and antiviral properties, which may help to alleviate symptoms of conditions such as colds, fever, and respiratory issues.

In herbal preparations, the plant's leaves and flowers can be used to make infusions, tinctures, and teas, which may be used to promote relaxation, reduce stress, and support overall health and well-being.
