The Living Forest (231) : Lungwort
Lungwort likes to grow in fresh and shady areas of beech forests all over Europe.
In spring the plant shows very small tubular flowers (only 0.5 cm in diameter) that are red at first but turn blue-purple as they mature.
In the Middle Ages this plant was already known by herbalists who used it to treat coughs and diseases of the chest due to its expectorant effect, hence the name Lungwort.
Dutch name : Gevlekt longkruid
German name : Geflecktes Lungenkraut
Latin name : Pulmonaria officinalis
