Photographs of Centranthus ruber; Red Valerian; Valerianaceae, Valerian family, photographed in the mountains of Montenegro. Never an important medicinal plant historically, this relative of valerian was found to have mild tranquilzing and sedation properties in a study published in 1963. Like valerian, too, it also contains valepotriates, among valerian's active constituents.
