Description
Blue Cohosh, is a species of Caulophyllum, also called squaw root or papoose root. It is a flowering plant in the Berberidaceae (barberry) family. It is a medium-tall perennial with blue berry-like fruits and bluish-green foliage. It was used as a medicinal herb by native American Indians and can also be used as a dietary supplement that can induce labor and ease the pain and difficulty that accompany childbirth. From the single stalk rising from the ground, there is a single, large, three-branched leaf plus a fruiting stalk. The bluish-green leaflets are tulip-shaped. It is found in hardwood forest of the eastern United States, and favors moist coves and hillsides, generally in shady locations, in rich soil. Still wondering around the Garden in the Woods, in Framingham, Massachusetts.
