Licebane
Staphisagria macrosperma
Staphisagria macrosperma is a plant traditionally associated with the Delphinieae tribe, though specific traditional uses are not recorded. Its placement within this lineage suggests potential medicinal applications, particularly in relation to pain and motion issues, as indicated by likelihood ratio analysis. A moderate positive association was found between Staphisagria macrosperma and the "sympathetic" rubric, but no concrete evidence of its efficacy exists. In Serbia, 164 plant species were historically used for skin diseases, though this does not directly involve Staphisagria macrosperma. No significant safety concerns or drug interactions have been reported for this plant.
