Short description of the small basil:

Small basilis (silverfish)   - This is a perennial plant with a height of 30-100 cm with a cylindrical horizontal rhizome and grayish roots. Stem erect, slightly grooved or rounded, naked, branched at the top.

Leaves are short, round-ovate or triangular, double- or triple-pinnate, leaf lobes obviately ovoid, small-cored, in front of the city of black-leaved. The flowers are bisexual, regular, drooping, gathered in a loose paniculate inflorescence. Tepals yellowish, fast-falling, undeveloped corolla, yellow stamens, dangling, with pointed anthers. The fruit is ribbed achene. It blooms from May to August.

Harvesting Basil:

Medicinal raw material is grass. Harvest it during flowering, cutting off leafy part of the plant. Dried outdoors in the shade or in the attic with good ventilation, laying out a thin layer. Dry raw materials in color should remain green and consist of leafy stems with flowers and partly with fruits, have a faint odor and a bitter taste. Store in bags in a dry place for 3 years.

The chemical composition of small basil:

Ascorbic acid (175-225 mg%), saponins, pyrocatechins, phytoncides, tannins and aliphatic hydrocarbons, a large number of alkaloids (berberine, talmin, talmidine, thalictrimine, glaucine, malmine, etc.) are found in the grass, and thalactrimine in the roots Talicmidine; talikmin, talmin, glaucine, berberine, steroids; the leaves contain a glycoside, which, when cleaved, gives off hydrocyanic acid.

It was established experimentally that each alkaloid has a different effect: talmin causes depression of the central nervous system, relaxation of smooth muscles, significantly reduces blood pressure, talikmin and talicmidine cause cataleptic condition in animals, talictrimine stimulates the muscles of the uterus, berberin has a laxative, diuretic, choleretic effect lowers blood pressure. The ability of berberine to inhibit cell proliferation, as well as to show a therapeutic effect in leishmaniasis and malaria, has been revealed.

All these active ingredients form the basis of the chemical composition of the small basilus (silverfish).

Again, consider the species that are found in our lane. Upon further consideration of the buttercups, there will be corrections to the spring scrubber in terms of his possible danger - after all, not all buttercups are so fierce!
In general, in the end I will try to generate a generalized post on buttercups.

General description:

Small basil (wild parsley, rutvitsa, rut) - perennial edible plant from the family of buttercups with pinnate leaves. Decorative foliage and undemanding in the garden. There are many types of basil, differing in both the height and size of the leaves, and the color of the inflorescences. It is necessary to look for a plant in steppes, steppe meadows, along the slopes of beams, in thickets of bushes, in damp places. He loves water very much.

The ancient Greek name Thalictrum minus comes from the words "thalos" - the green branch and "icter" - the pleading. The plant looks like a branch of olives, entwined with down. Such a branch signified a plea for protection. The graceful foliage, as follows from the popular name of the most well-known representative of the genus, resembles the foliage of catchments (aquilegia), with which the basilists unite into one subfamily. In English-speaking countries, in terms of openwork and wax bloom their foliage is compared to root and the name of the plant sounds like “meadow rue” - meadow root.

The plant is 50-100 cm tall. The leaves are three times or four-leafy, double-haired, with small, obovate, 3-notched or lobed leaflets on top. Flowers in loose sprawling panicle, greenish, stamen filaments yellowish. Blossoms in June and July. The fruit is a multipole (ribbed achene).

Horticultural notes:
Vasilistniki multiply by seed and division of the bushes. Seeds can be sown in the fall to the ridge in the ground, all to the protected ground after a month of stratification or in the winter in boxes and in 5-7 days to endure under the snow, shoots need to pick out on the ridge. Seedlings bloom in the second year. They are undemanding to the soil, grow well both in open sunny places and in slightly shaded ones. Special care is not required. The plant is frost-resistant and winter-hardy. Used for planting in flower beds on the north side of the garden house, by the water and cutting for bouquets.

Beneficial features:

The plant is harvested during the flowering period (usually June-July), dried in fresh air in the shade, mixed periodically, and stored in linen bags up to 3 years.

Basil is part of the collection for cooking mixtures M.N. Zdrenko for the treatment of cancer, peptic ulcers, gastritis!

Official medicine only allows this type of basilist to be collected.

Precautions:
It has a slight toxicity, but well tolerated. Some sources contain information about the toxicity of the plant, but there is no such information on medical and botanical sites. Given the active effect of the plant on the nervous and cardiovascular systems, do not abuse doses or duration of use - overdose is fraught with the opposite effect (which is true for many calming plants) - increased pressure, excessive heart rate, increased nervous excitability.
Plants from different areas and habitats have an unequal alkaloid composition, that is, they have different degrees of toxicity, but in general are quite small. The total chemical composition may also vary.

General character and magical properties:(looks like truth, but can be added)
It treats heart diseases (even strokes), cancer, ulcers, cleanses the blood and normalizes metabolism. Widely used in female diseases.   Gently cleanses, disinfects and stimulates healing.
This plant has long been used to treat many female diseases and is considered a female love spell. It is recommended to sprinkle chopped tomatoes with finely chopped basil grass in order to kindle passion and desire in a woman, but for men the use of basilus has the opposite effect, therefore this plant can also be used to turn back and eliminate sexual desire.
In connection with all this information and appearance  plants, it seems that he is closer to water in character, which is why I am somehow more convinced. It can be used as a light coastal amulet, or an amulet for love or friendship (allegedly the American Indians used it). Female soft plant.

Basil is simple.

Useful properties (see the small basil):
It is used in folk, but not official medicine. It seems to have a greater causticity caused by the content of alkaloids.
The plant has a laxative, diuretic, antipyretic, sedative, anti-inflammatory, antiseptic, hemostatic and wound healing effect.

Also, in various sources, the basil is smelly mentioned often, but I did not find any differences in the description at all. Medicinal books are not mentioned.
And there are still many decorative varieties, the contemplation of which brings real pleasure.
