Lala seedling, the name full of local flavor, is actually a magical plant. In a variety of different environments, whether it is a wet field, a dry hillside, or even a barren land, it can be seen pulling seedlings. This tenacious vitality makes it occupy a place in the natural ecology.
The scientific name of Lala rice is Humulus and belongs to the family Moraceae. Humulus is a creeping plant with a strong climbing ability on its stems, allowing it to cling to other plants or rocks. Humulus has heart-shaped leaves with a smooth surface and a small hairy back. In the summer, humulus produces pale green flowers, which are clustered into spherical clusters that give off a faint fragrance.
Although humulus is inconspicuous in nature, its presence plays a significant role in ecological balance. First of all, humulus is a good mulching plant that prevents soil erosion and protects the soil. Secondly, humulus is also food for many animals**, including some insects and small mammals. In addition, humulus also has certain medicinal properties, and in some traditional medicine, it is used for symptoms such as cough and asthma.
However, humulus is not entirely positive. Due to its extremely creeping ability, if left unchecked, it can cover large areas of land and affect the growth of other plants. As a result, humulus is often seen as a weed in agricultural production.
Although humulus can sometimes pose some problems, we cannot deny its value and role in nature. While appreciating the natural beauty that humulus brings, we should also learn to respect and protect it. Only in this way can we truly appreciate the charm of this natural wonder.
