Alysicarpus vaginalis plant
There is a herb which Jamaicans call medina - it is used to build sexual stamina and it promotes wakefulness. I am a man and badly in need of both. I have tried medina for wakefulness only and it does work - the problem is that I have scoured the internet and cannot find any herbal usage information on it. The plant name is Alysicarpus vaginalis (common names are Alyce Clover, Alyceclover, Buffalo Clover, One-Leaf Clover, Oneleaf Clover, White Moneywort). Please let me know if you have or if you will be interested in researching this plant
Growth behaviour and indole acetic acid (IAA)
production by a Rhizobium isolated from root nodules of Alysicarpus vaginalis
DC.

From the root nodules of Alysicarpus vaginalis DC, the symbiont was isolated
and identified as a Rhizobium sp. The bacteria produced a high amount (107
microg/ml) of indole acetic acid (IAA) in culture from tryptophan supplemented
yeast extract mannitol medium. The isolate preferred L-isomer of tryptophan for
maximum IAA production. The production was maximum when the bacteria reached its
stationary phase of growth. The production of IAA could be increased up to 70%
over yeast extract glucose medium by supplementing ZnSO4, 7H2O (0.5 microg/ml).
L-asparagine (0.2%) and sodium dodecyl sulfate (1.0 microg/ml). The possible
relationship between the rhizobial IAA production and legume-rhizobia symbiosis
is discussed.
