Bitter Root (Apocynum androsaemifolium)
More Information
Bitter Root is a herbaceous perennial, indigenous to America, growing along fences and upon hill-sides. 150-180cm in height, branching and, in common with the other three members of the genus, yielding on incision a glutinous milky juice resembling Indiarubber when dry. This latex, is a possible source of rubber. Parts of the plant were utilized medicinally by Native Americans and pioneers as cough medicine, and a tea to treat internal parasites.
From the tough, fibrous bark of the stalks they twisted thread as a substitute for hemp, to make bowstrings, twine, bags, fishing nets, lines, and linen etc.
The common name, Dogbane, refers to the plant's toxic nature, which has been described as poisonous to dogs. Apocynum means "Away, dog!" Has a musty odour and starchy, bitter taste.
The root of this plant is many feet in length, creeping horizontally, and tapering from the size of a man's finger; this root, or more properly the corticle, is the active part. Age impairs its powers.
