Lysimachia arvensis
Lysimachia arvensis
Lysimachia arvensis is a flowering plant found in various botanical traditions. It has been traditionally applied to address wounds, ulcers, pruritus, rheumatism, haemorrhoids, and respiratory issues like phthisis, as well as more severe conditions such as rabies, leprosy, and snake bites. Scientific evidence regarding its therapeutic properties is limited; however, methanolic extracts have demonstrated antioxidant activity alongside marked toxicity toward HEK293 cells. There is no recorded data regarding major safety concerns or specific drug interactions for this species.

What the science says
- The methanolic extract of Lysimachia arvensis showed antioxidant activity and marked toxicity towards HEK293 cells.
- Lysimachia arvensis was identified as one of five new natural hosts for cucumber mosaic virus subgroup IB among pepper fields in the Espelette area.
- The study found multiple pre- and postzygotic barriers contribute to reproductive isolation between two Lysimachia species, with postzygotic barriers becoming more significant in later hybrid stages.
- The blue-orange petal color polymorphisms in Lysimachia monelli and L. arvensis share similar reflectance spectra, flavonoid biochemistry, and gene expression patterns.
