每到深秋季节,鲜花店里总要向人们展示马蹄莲的风采,表现他们精湛的切花艺术。马蹄莲以它那硕大而洁白的朵儿别具一格,深受人们的喜爱。其实,马蹄莲的花儿并不显眼,在肉穗状的花序上只排列许多极小的花儿,人们所欣赏的却是包围在这些极小的花儿外面的呈漏斗状的朵儿。这朵儿,在植物学中被命名为佛焰苞。马蹄莲的佛焰苞特别大,就像一朵盛开的荷花,色彩鲜艳,有白色的、有红色的、有黄色的、也有乳白色的,一般以白色的较多,表现了它的素净皎洁、挺秀雅致。在我国长江下游一带,每年自十一月到翌年五月,都可以一睹马蹄莲的风采。它花叶两绝,用以切花,既可以单独组成花篮和花束,也可以与其它色彩鲜艳的花卉配置而相映生辉。
马蹄莲属于天南星科植物,这个家族的共同特点,就是都具有佛焰苞,但是所有成员的佛焰苞都没有马蹄莲的大,颜色也没有它的艳。所以,马蹄莲就成了这一家族的佼佼者。马蹄莲的药用价值也常常被人们称道,它能益精明目、除口中臭气;有增强记忆,能令人不忘的功效;它还具有清热解毒的作用,如用鲜马蹄莲块茎适量,捣烂外敷,治疗烫伤;在创伤处,用马蹄莲块茎捣烂外敷,还可以预防破伤风。但是,马蹄莲的块茎有毒(天南星科植物的块茎大都有毒),未经加工,切忌内服。
在这个家族的众多成员中,还有许多为人们所熟悉的传统药材,其中如半夏和天南星,真可谓是历史悠久了,早在《神农本草经》中就有记载。半夏可以治疗风痰、火痰、湿痰、寒痰,可以说凡属痰证,不可少了半夏;而天南星的治疗“积聚伏梁”,一定也包括现代医学所指的腹腔的恶性肿瘤。无独有偶,同科属的魔芋就是一味治疗恶性肿瘤的良药。据文献记载,魔芋对脑部肿瘤、鼻咽癌、淋巴肉瘤、甲状腺癌都有作用。其它如开心气,治健忘的石菖蒲;可用于治疗面神经麻痹的独角莲;用于祛风湿、壮筋骨的千年健;可以止痛行瘀,用于治疗跌打损伤的滴水珠;可以治疗钩端螺旋体病的尾尖芋等等。都是这一家族的成员,真可谓是群英荟萃。它们和马蹄莲一样光彩夺目,为人类的卫生保健事业,作出了不可磨灭的贡献。

马蹄莲的片片看着让人心动,特别是那粉红的晕处。
它没有动人的传说吗?疑问,遗憾,,,
