An unusual name for a European ear is increasingly heard when it comes to herbal teas.
Evergreen bushes grow in the mountains of the Far East, the Baikal region, on the Sayan ranges and Altai. Apparently, therefore, the inhabitants of Europe began to discover the beneficial properties of sagan-dail only in the 19th century.
History
In scientific works, the shrub is classified as Adams rhododendron (Rhododēndron adāmsii) & ndash; by the name of the research botanist.
The original name translates as & laquo; white wing & raquo;, because the leaves in the summer are covered with whitish fluff.
The shrub has scaly hairy shoots, oblong and dense evergreen leaves, pink inflorescences and reaches a height of 0.5 meters. Active flowering occurs from June to August.
The Buryats have created a beautiful legend that explains the sonorous name.
It sounds like this: Dailly's girlfriend found out that her beloved Saigan knows how to transform into a white eagle, but this did not stop her from loving him even more.
Once a young man was watched by an evil witch, but he escaped, leaving only a few bloody feathers on the rocks.
Dailly thought the loved one had died. In desperation, she threw herself from a high cliff. The eagle managed to pick up the girl and carry away from the evil sorceress.
Only at the place where the eagle feathers fell did a shrub grow with amazing features and the sonorous name Saigan Dyle.
Local residents also knew about the beneficial properties of sagan-daila grass. They drank infusion in order to get rid of fatigue during a long hunt or after hard working days.
