Please Botanists and Phytologists in the house, I need clarification on the attached leaf. I want to know it's botanical name so I can get an analytic evaluation of it's potentials, toxins and how it can be beneficial in our body.


I know it secretes red when boiled in water, is referred to as Ewe eje (Blood Tonic) in Yoruba and gives this relaxing vibe when taken

Thanks
I would love to know too. I boiled it-really red, and was told to mix with milk and malt. Instant blood tonic.

UPDATE: I just found out the name: justicia carnea. Also commonly called water willow or shrimp plant.

@fasho01 What is it called in your dialect and what is it used for?
Ewe eje (Blood Tonic) and it is usually consumed to help rejuvenate the body. I want to do a phytochemical analysis on it to know if it's safe for consumption and then publish it eventually

This is supposed to be a Greek name but you are mocking about. Its either Christodoulou (Χριστοδούλου) or Papadopoulos (Παπαδόπουλος). And no these don't refer to the leaves. They are actual Greek names. Surnames. Christodoulou would be borne by the wife or daughter of a man whose surname is Christodoulos (Χριστόδουλος), Papadopoulos would have a wife or daughter called, yep you guessed right, Papadopoulou (Παπαδόπουλου)

The botanical name is Justicia carnea hooker.
It has a very high concentration of antioxidants.
Came across it during my pg research.
I'm a biochemist though
