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，從加拿大新斯科舍省向南延伸至美國佛羅里達州，原產於北美東部。 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屬中唯一的物種，被包括在罌粟科中，並且與東亞的Eomecon關係最密切。
Bloodroot is also known as bloodwort, red puccoon root, and sometimes pauson.血根也被稱為血麥芽汁，紅根，有時也稱為包莖。 Bloodroot has also been known as tetterwort in America, although that name is used in Britain to refer to Greater Celandine.血根在美國也被稱為泰特沃特，儘管在英國這個名字用來指大白屈菜。
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.血根是生長在8至12厘米高的可變物種，通常有一個大的，鞘狀的基部多裂葉，長達40厘米。 The flowers are produced from March to May, with 60-XNUMX delicate white petals and yellow reproductive parts.花從三月到五月生產，有XNUMX-XNUMX個精緻的白色花瓣和黃色生殖部分。 The flowers appear over clasping leaves while blooming.盛開時，花朵出現在緊扣的葉子上。 Plants are variable in leaf and flower shape and have in the past been separated out as different subspecies due to these variable shapes;植物的葉和花形狀是可變的，並且由於這些可變的形狀，過去已被分為不同的亞種。 currently most taxonomic treatments lump these different forms into one highly variable species.當前，大多數分類學處理將這些不同形式歸為一個高度可變的物種。 Bloodroot stores sap in an orange colored rhizome, that grows shallowly under or at the soil surface.血根將汁液儲存在橙色的根狀莖中，該根狀莖在土壤表面下或土壤表面淺處生長。 Over many years of growth, the branching rhizome can grow into a large colony.經過多年的生長，分支的根狀莖可以長成大菌落。 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.植物在早春的葉子展開之前就開始開花，開花後的葉子膨脹到它們的全部大小，並在夏季的中旬至夏末進入休眠狀態。 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.人們發現植物在潮濕到干燥的木材和灌木叢中生長，通常在洪氾平原和斜坡附近的海岸或溪流上生長，在空地，草地或沙丘上生長的頻率較低，在受干擾的地區很少見。 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.花被小蜜蜂和蒼蠅授粉，種子長成XNUMX至XNUMX毫米長的綠色豆莢，並在葉子休眠之前成熟。 The seeds are round in shape and when ripe are black to orange-red in color.種子為圓形，成熟時為黑至橙紅色。 Deer will feed on the plants in early spring.鹿將在早春以植物為食。
