Scutellaria lateriflora
''Scutellaria lateriflora'', known commonly as blue skullcap, mad dog skullcap,〔(''Scutellaria lateriflora''. ) NatureServe. 2012.〕〔''mad dog, n. -compounds'' Oxford English Dictionary - mad dog because it was a supposed cure for hydrophobia〕 and side-flowering skullcap, is a hardy perennial herb of the mint family, Lamiaceae, native to North America.
It has an upright habit, growing 60 to 80 centimeters in maximum height.〔(Jepson Manual Treatment )〕〔(Washington Burke Museum )〕 It is a wetland-loving species and grows near marshes, meadows, and other wet habitat. The blue flowers are just under a centimeter long.〔〔 Most of the flowers do not appear at the top of the main stem, but are produced along the length of side branches that grow from the leaf axils.
==Traditional uses==
''Scutellaria lateriflora'' is used in herbal medicine as a mild sedative and sleep promoter. Other skullcaps used for similar purposes include common skullcap (''S. galericulata''), western skullcap (''S. canescens''), and southern skullcap (''S. cordifolia''). In a small-scale double blind, placebo-controlled study, blue skullcap had anxiety-reducing effects in 19 volunteers.〔Wolfson, P. and D. L. Hoffmann. (2002). (An investigation into the efficacy of ''Scutellaria lateriflora'' in healthy volunteers. ) ''Alternative Therapies in Health and Medicine'' 9(2), 74-78.〕 S. lateriflora, along with reducing anxiety, significantly enhanced global mood without a reduction in energy or cognition.
β-Elemene in the herb had potential anti-cancer properties ''in vitro'',〔Li, Q. Q., et al. (2010). (Antineoplastic effect of β-elemene on prostate cancer cells and other types of solid tumour cells. ) ''Journal of Pharmacy and Pharmacology'' 62(8), 1018-27.〕 but studies in humans have not confirmed its effectiveness.〔Peng, X., et al. (2006). (Assessing the quality of RCTs on the effect of β-elemene, one ingredient of a Chinese herb, against malignant tumors. ) ''Contemporary Clinical Trials'' 27(1), 70-82.〕 Diterpenes isolated from ''S. barbata'' had cytotoxic activity against three human cancer cell lines ''in vitro''.〔Qu, G. W., et al. (2010). (Two new cytotoxic ent-clerodane diterpenoids from ''Scutellaria barbata''. ) ''Journal of Asian Natural Products Research'' 12(10), 859-64.〕
