Broom, common

California black oak and white fir and less often on incense cedar in the San Bernardino Mountains. No direct effects of oxidants have been noted on the mistletoe plant itself under field conditions. The true mistletoe obtains mainly water from its host and would be indirectly affected by debilitation of die host tree. The dwarf mistletoes Arceuthobium spp.) are common on ponderosa, Jeffry, and sugar pines in the San Bernardino National Forest. They depend on their host for both water and carbohydrates. Heavily infected or broomed" branches on ponderosa or Jeffrey pines severely injured by ozone often have more annual needle whorls retained than do uninfected branches on the remainder of the tree. The needles are also greener. It can be hypothesized that the infected branch is a carbohydrate sink where a pooling of carbohydrates occurs higher carbohydrate concentrations may be instrumental in either preventing or helping to repair ozone injury to needles on the broomed branches. In the long term, stresses from mistletoe and ozone are probably additive and hasten tree death.

Liliaceae, four species are included under their Latin names and major common names—Sassafras albidum (sassafras). Allium sativum (garlic), Colchicum autum-nale (autumn crocus), and Ruscus aculeatus (butcher s broom). 

Many medicinal plants are reported to be infected by phytoplasma showing varieties of symptoms (Samad et al., 2006 a, b Bertaccini and Marani, 2007 Zhao et al., 2007 Harrison et al., 2008 a,b Raj et al., 2008 a,b). Yellows, virescence, witches - broom, chlorosis, little leaf, leaf roll phyllody and generalized decline are very common symptoms (Bertaccini et al., 2005).

COMMON BROOM Cytisus scoparius, L., Link, Family Fabaceae, is a shrub growing in Europe and Western Asia. The whole aerial part of the shrub, including the seeds, is poisonous due to the presence of the alkaloid sparteine. The sparteine content in the leaves and branch tips is at its highest in the month of May and decreases after flowering, which takes place in June. 

Sparteine has an effect on atrioventricular conduction, which resembles that of quini-dine, and it also has an oxytoxic effect, i.e. gives a contraction of the uterus. Sparteine has a limited use as oxytoxic agent. Poisoning with Common Broom is unusual, but a lethal poisoning after intake of a decoction has been described. In severe cases there is circulatory collapse and ileus. 

However, since many natural oils and absolutes also possess a correspondingly high odour strength and quality, the ratio of the cost to strength and quality should always be considered carefully before removing them. In this case, it is difficult to justify inclusion of the broom absolute in the soap context, so in its place a small quantity of methyl anthranilate (the chemical that quantitatively dominated the headspace of broom) is added. Care should always be taken with anthranilates because of the possible formation of Schiff s bases upon reaction with aldehydes. Extra aldehydes will certainly be added to the soap version of the alcoholic perfume because of their excellent odour performance in covering the fatty smell of common soap bases. 

Diuretics, Medicines which promote the secretion of urine. The principal diuretics are aqueous fluids, which act by increasing the watery portion of tho blood, and certain substances which promote the socretiou of urine, by stimulating the kidneys. Among tho former may bo classed nearly all aqueous liquids, as most of them produce diuresis, if tho skin be kept cool. Among tho latter may be mentioned tho nitrate, acetate, and bitartrate of pobissa oils of juniper, turpentine, cajeput, and copaiba dilute spirit and sweet spints of nitro decoction of common broom, Ac.
