Osmunda japonica and Osmunda japonica are the same plant?

Osmunda japonica is actually another name for Camptotheca acuminata, which is completely different from Osmunda japonica. Camptotheca acuminata likes warm and humid climate, and mainly grows in central China, such as Hebei, Shandong and Henan. Camptotheca acuminata has strong climbing ability, which is very suitable for planting in gardens and used to build flower walls or styles. The flowers of Camptotheca acuminata are funnel-shaped, usually orange, which has strong ornamental value.

There is also a very beautiful legend about Camptotheca acuminata. It is said that there was once a girl named Ling Xiao who came from a rich family and fell in love with a long-term job. The girl's father is very opposed to their relationship because they are not suitable. In order to let the boy back down, the girl's father sent someone to beat him up, but he didn't want the boy to die. The villagers sympathized with the boy's sudden death, so they buried him by the river, and a willow tree grew here a few days later. After learning of the boy's death, Ling Xiao followed the martyr to the willow tree and soon became a vine, snuggling up to the willow tree. This vine is a big flower.

Take osmanthus fragrans as an example. This plant likes humidity and bears drought, and it is distributed in East China, Southwest China and Central South China. The flowers of osmanthus fragrans are terminal panicles, and the common colors are white, pink and purple. June-September is the flowering period of Osmunda japonica, and the flowering period is relatively long. Osmanthus fragrans is widely used in the greening of parks, roads and other places because of its easy planting and good ornamental effect. Generally speaking, this is a very common plant. Interestingly, in winter, all the leaves of Osmunda japonica will be lost, leaving only bare branches like dead branches.

Osmunda japonica Thunb has not only ornamental value, but also medicinal value. The roots and leaves of Osmunda japonica can be used as medicine, and their specific functions include clearing away heat and toxic materials and stopping bleeding. However, pregnant women should not eat crape myrtle. In fact, Camptotheca acuminata also has medicinal value, which can remove blood stasis and treat skin itching.
