血根

Bloodroot (Sanguinaria canadensis) is a perennial, herbaceous flowering plant native to eastern North America from Nova Scotia, Canada southward to Florida, United States.血根（Sanguinaria canadensis）是多年生草本植物，从加拿大新斯科舍省向南到美国佛罗里达州，原产于北美东部。 It is the only species in the genus Sanguinaria, and is included in the family Papaveraceae and most closely related to Eomecon of eastern Asia.它是Sanguinaria属中唯一的物种，被包括在罂粟科中，并且与东亚的Eomecon关系最密切。
Bloodroot is also known as bloodwort, red puccoon root, and sometimes pauson.血根也被称为血麦芽汁，红根，有时也称为包茎。 Bloodroot has also been known as tetterwort in America, although that name is used in Britain to refer to Greater Celandine.血根在美国也被称为Tetterwort，尽管该名称在英国被用来指大白屈菜。
Bloodroot is a variable species growing from 20 to 50 cm tall, normally with one large, sheath-like basal multi-lobed leaf up to 12 cm across.血根是生长在8至12厘米高的可变物种，通常有一个大的，鞘状的基部多裂叶，长达40厘米。 The flowers are produced from March to May, with 60-XNUMX delicate white petals and yellow reproductive parts.花从三月到五月生产，有XNUMX-XNUMX个精致的白色花瓣和黄色生殖部分。 The flowers appear over clasping leaves while blooming.盛开时，花朵出现在紧扣的叶子上。 Plants are variable in leaf and flower shape and have in the past been separated out as different subspecies due to these variable shapes;植物的叶和花形状是可变的，并且由于这些可变的形状，过去已被分为不同的亚种。 currently most taxonomic treatments lump these different forms into one highly variable species.当前，大多数分类学治疗将这些不同形式归为一个高度可变的物种。 Bloodroot stores sap in an orange colored rhizome, that grows shallowly under or at the soil surface.血根将汁液储存在橙色的根状茎中，该根状茎在土壤表面下或土壤表面浅处生长。 Over many years of growth, the branching rhizome can grow into a large colony.经过多年的生长，分支的根状茎可以长成大菌落。 Plants start to bloom before the foliage unfolds in early spring and after blooming the leaves expand to their full size and go summer dormant in mid to late summer.植物在初春开张之前就开始开花，开花后叶片开始膨胀至完整大小，并在夏季中旬至夏末进入休眠状态。 Plants are found growing in moist to dry woods and thickets, often on flood plains and near shores or streams on slopes, they grow less frequently in clearings and meadows or on dunes, and are rarely found in disturbed sites.人们发现植物在潮湿到干燥的树林和灌木丛中生长，通常在洪泛平原和斜坡附近的海岸或溪流上生长，在空地，草地或沙丘上生长的频率较低，在受干扰的地区很少见。 The flowers are pollinated by small bees and flies, seeds develop in elongated green pods XNUMX to XNUMX mm in length and ripen before the foliage goes dormant.花被小蜜蜂和苍蝇授粉，种子长成XNUMX至XNUMX毫米长的绿色豆荚，并在叶子休眠之前成熟。 The seeds are round in shape and when ripe are black to orange-red in color.种子为圆形，成熟时为黑至橙红色。 Deer will feed on the plants in early spring.鹿将在早春以植物为食。
