TL;DR: All species of Galeopsis contain aucubin-like glycosides in roots, leaves and seeds, and the difference between the two subgenera is less striking but roots of species of subgenus Tetrahit are characterized by a third constituent, called bifida-substance.

TL;DR: The results indicated that the Na and K elements recorded the high concentrations, while the Co element recorded the low concentration in all herbs samples as mentioned in this paper. But, the results of the analysis of the herbs samples were analyzed by flameless except Na,K, in flame atomic absorption spectrophotometer in different medical herbs.
Abstract: The trace elements in the medical herbs play an important role in the treatment of diseases. Well selected herbs samples of Iraqi herbs and collected from local markets. In this study, the concentrations of nine elements Na,K, Zn, Fe ,Co ,Cu ,Ni , Pb and Cd were determined in fourteen kinds herbs common belonging to Matricaria Chamomile Cinnamon,Pimpinella Anisum L., Zea Maize , Anethum Graveolens L., Jeft, Teucrium Polium L., Cagsia Italica,Echium Talicum L.,Ocimum Basilcum L., Galeopsis Sejetum,Nigella Sative L., Cyperus Rotundus L.,Lupinus Jaimehintoniana.The herbs samples were analysed by flameless except Na,K, in flame atomic absorption spectrophotometer in different medical herbs.The results indicated that the Na and K elements recorded the high concentrations, while the Co element recorded the low concentration in all herbs samples.

TL;DR: The results suggest that G. tetrahit and G. bifida are distinct species and the morphological characters were found to be more variable compared to the molecular markers, although the combined of these characters provided differentiation of the species.
Abstract: Two species of the genus Galeopsis L., G. tetrahit L. and G. bifida Boenn. (family Lamiaceae), are problematic to distinguish often wrongly recognized, and treated by some taxonomists as a single species. Morphological diagnostical characters of these species are variable and partly overlap. Species independence of G. tetrahit and G. bifida was evaluated and their diagnostic characters verified using ISSR and RAPD markers. A total of 57 ISSR and 28 RAPD fragments were obtained providing distinct subdivision of the accessions examined into two groups. Analysis of molecular data using the neighbor-joining method showed that the accessions studied fell into two clades in the same way as demonstrated by the analysis of 20 morphological characters using single linkage method. These results suggest that G. tetrahit and G. bifida are distinct species. The morphological characters were found to be more variable compared to the molecular markers, although the combined of these characters provided differentiation of the species.

TL;DR: In this paper, the physicochemical and nutritive properties of Justicia galeopsis leaves were assessed to ascertain its nutritional suitability as well as health benefits, and the results indicated that the leaves are very rich in fiber (33.85%), protein (21.11%), vitamin B12 (4173.09 mg/kg) and vitamin C (892.06%).
Abstract: Wild edible plants are known to make important contributions to the livelihoods of local communities of sub-Saharan Africa countries including Cote d’Ivoire. Some have an important nutritional intake. The aim of this study was to assess the physicochemical and nutritive properties of Justicia galeopsis leaves to ascertain its nutritional suitability as well as health benefits. J. galeopsis leaves were purchased at market in Abengougou Division. Physicochemical composition, micronutrients and antinutritional factors were determined. All results, based on dry matter, had indicated that J. galeopsis leaves were very rich in fiber (33.85%), protein (21.11%), vitamin B12 (4173.09 mg/kg) and vitamin C (892.17 mg/kg of fresh leaf) but low in fat (4.06%). The mineral elements contents were high (17.76%) with remarkable amount of potassium (103.08 g/kg), phosphorus (77.66 g/kg), calcium (59.87 g/kg), sodium (28.30 g/kg), iron (373.01 mg/kg), zinc (177.84 mg/kg) and manganese (128.57 mg/kg). The presence of phytate (33.83 mg/100g), oxalate (740.67 mg/100g) and tannin (66.33 mg/100g) were revealed. The molar ratios of [Phytate]/[Ca] (0.00), [Phytate]/[Zn] (0.15), [Phytate]/[Fe] (0.11) and [Oxalate]/[(Ca+Mg)] (0.07) indicate the high bioavailability for these minerals. This work revealed that J. galeopsis leaves are very nutritive. They could help cover people's nutritional needs and contribute to food security. © 2018 International Formulae Group.
