I want this mess sorted out for me.. In 5 web sites I read Leonitice sibiricus is motherwort, Here it reads L. cardiaca?? Anyone ? any botany experts going over the articles?

Motherwort is certainly correct for Leonurus cardiaca, the common herbal remedy, however plants can have many common names which may be the same as other, completely different, plants (see opening para). Have not been able to find any refs to L. sibiricus as Motherwort though...would be interested to see where you found this. Leonurus 20:35, 7 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Medicinal uses

Are the medicinal properties described in the article supported by scientific study, or are these properties attributed by folklore? Citations needed. Rosemary Amey 20:40, 11 July 2007 (UTC)
