some photos i took on the dunes at beach A!

dunes are formed on beaches with a wide breadth; as the wind blows inward from the shore on sandy beaches, beach grasses such as matron will root in the loose sand and give it structural integrity. the sand will up the bank, crest the peak, and settle behind, building up dunes! the grass is crucial to this process.

you get a lot of variation in plant life depending on the stage of the dune — embryo dunes, mobile dunes, or fixed dunes, which transition into grassland typically.

the order of these photos goes, from first to last, from the dunes closest to the coast to those furthest away. they are in order:

semi-fixed dunes:

coltsfoot and … i think a form of restharrow? i am not sure! — coltsfoot gets its name from its hoof-shaped leaves. it is a flowering plant! none were flowering yet though.

bird’s-foot trefoil — another generalist, but i see it most along the coast. it is the larval food of the common blue butterfly!

fixed dunes:

bloody geranium — this gets its namesake from its new growths, which appear bright red!

ragwort — a generalist of a flower than can be found in most grasslands!

grassland:

white deadnettle — another generalist

hemlock — a generalist often found near path sides, as this one was. i believe it is hemlock rather than cow parsley due to the purple splotches on its thick stem.

dove’s-foot crane’s-bill (a geranium)

here are some other photos of the dunes that show a variety of other plants:

these were all taken in the semi-fixed to fixed dunes! we have in order:

goose grey and some more bird’s-foot trefoil

miniature daisies and mouse-ear hawk weeds

dandelion, hawks bit, common yarrow, and meadow pea!

there was so much to see on the dunes, and i definitely did not cover all of it. i believe a majority of the grass was marram grass. i also saw a lot of snail shells, and some sycamore trees were encroaching down the hill (although they weren’t doing great!)

the surrounding area is magnesium limestone that is unique to the northeast of england, meaning that the cliffs here are alkaline rather than acidic. it is also rich in calcium and, of course, magnesium — which gives us great potential for species richness and contributes to the uniqueness of our heritage coasts. most of our magnesium limestone comes in the form of dolomite!

Haisev jooksjarohi

Ononis arvensis L., Papilionaceae Luutõverohi, luuvalurohi, luujooksvarohi, põld-jooksjarohi, soonejooksvarohi, tõhklane, õhklane Field restharrow

Haisev jooksjarohi kasvab aruniitudel, sagedamini teede läheduses, tarade ääres, liivikutel.

Ravimina kasutatakse juuri, mida korjatakse septembris ja oktoobris.

Tarvitatakse hemorroidide vastu ning uriinierituse soodustamise ja palaviku puhul.

Kirjeldus

Haisev jooksjarohi kasvab aruniitudel, sagedamini teede läheduses, tarade ääres, liivikutel. Vars on püstine või tõusev, tugev ja oksine, sagedasti punakaspruun, 30-60cm pikk, pikkade eemalehoiduvate karvadega, mille vahel on tihti näärmekarvu. Lehed on ülal lihtsad, all kolmetised, lehekesed piklik-elliptilised, hambulised, enam-vähem teritunud, enamasti näärmekarvased, veidi halvalehalised.

Õied liblikjad, roosad, harva valged või valkjad, kahekaupa lehtede kaenlas või ladva pool pikliku kobarana. Vili - paisunud kaun, lühem kui tupplehed.

Õitseb juulis ja augustis. Esineb sagedamini Lääne- ja Põhja-Eestis ning saartel. Mujal kasvab harva või puudub koguni.

Ravim

Ravimina kasutatakse haisva jooksjarohu juurt - radix Ononidis. Ametlikult võeti see droog apteekides kasutamisele alles hiljuti.

Jooksjarohu juuri kogutakse sügisel. Juured kaevatakse maast välja ning raputatakse mullast puhtaks. Maapealsed taimeosad lõigatakse ära. Juured pestakse külgejäänud mullast kiiresti jooksvas vees ja lastakse mõni päev kuivas kohas närbuda, selle järel aga hästi tuulutatavas ruumis õhukese kihina kuivada. Pikad juured lõigatakse lühemateks tükkideks.

Droogi moodustavad silinderjad või kandilised juured, kuni 40cm pikad ja 0,5-2cm jämedad. Väljast on juured pruunid, seest kollakasvalged või hallid; neil on omapärane lõhn ja vastik mõrkjas maitse. Droogis lubatav niiskuse sisaldus on kuni 14%, tuhajääk 10%, orgaanilisi ja mineraalseid lisandeid võib olla mitte rohkem kui 1-2%.

Jooksjarohu juured sisaldavad kahealuselist triterpeenalkoholi onotseriini, isoflavoonglükosiidi, ononiini ja tundmata struktuuriga glükosiidi onooni, vähesel määral eeterlikku ja rasvõli, valku, fenoolseid ühendeid ja mineraalsoolasid.

Toimed

Jooksjarohu juure keedist tarvitatakse peamiselt hemorroidide raviks.

Annused: võetakse 30 grammi droogi 1 liitri vee kohta; keedetakse seni, kuni on jäänud 1/2 liitrit vedelikku. Kurnatud vedelikku juuakse 3 korda päevas enne söömist, 1/4 klaasi korraga. Ravi kestab 2-4 nädalat.

Müügil on ka haisva jooksjarohu tinktuur - droogi alkoholväljatõmmatis, mida kasutatakse sama haiguse ravimiseks.

Haisva jooksjarohu keedist on tarvitatud ka uriinieritust soodustava vahendina ning palaviku ravimisel. Seda soovitati ka raviks neeru- ja põiekivide ning -liiva puhul, reumaatiliste haiguste ja kroonilise ohatistõve korral. Eestis on selle taime keedist tarvitatud peamiselt jooksva puhul. Sellest on taim saanud ka oma rahvapärased nimed.

Ranunculus repens, the creeping buttercup, is a flowering plant in the buttercup family Ranunculaceae, native to Europe, Asia and northwestern Africa. It is also called creeping crowfoot and (along with restharrow) sitfast. Ranunculus is a diminutive of 'rana', meaning 'little frog'. This name is in reference to the amphibious habitat of many Ranunculus species. Repens means 'creeping' or 'stoloniferous'.
