'''''Osmorhiza''''' is a genus of [[North America]]n [[perennial plant|perennial]] herbs, known generally as '''Sweet Cicely''' or '''Sweetroot'''. ''Osmorhiza longistylis'' was used by Native Americans to treat digestive disorders and as a wash for wounds. The [[seeds]] of this plant have barbs on the end allowing them to stick to clothing, fur, or feathers. {{Inc| Osmorhiza (Greek; referring to the sweet, aromatic, edible roots). Umbelliferae. A small genus of native herbs, 1 to 3 feet high, sometimes called sweet cicely, but the true sweet cicely is Myrrhis odorata, a closely allied European plant, the leaves of which have the scent of anise seed and are used in flavoring. Sometimes listed by dealers in native plants. Perennial, slender, hirsute or glabrous, with thin soft foliage: Lvs. ternately compound, the lfts. ovate and toothed: fls. very small, white, in small few-rayed umbels; calyx-teeth obsolete: fr. linear, glabrous or bristly; carpel slightly flattened dorsally or not at all; styles long or short; seed-face from slightly concave to deeply sulcate: root thick, aromatic. By some botanists, the name Washingtonia is used for this genus. The plants thrive in moist more or less shady woodsy places. }} ==Cultivation== ===Propagation=== ===Pests and diseases=== ==Species== *''[[Osmorhiza aristata|O. aristata]]'' *''[[Osmorhiza berteroi|O. berteroi]]'' (Tapering Sweetroot, Mountain Sweet Cicely) *''[[Osmorhiza brachypoda|O. brachypoda]]'' (California Sweet Cicely) *''[[Osmorhiza claytonii|O. claytonii]]'' (Clayton's Sweetroot, Sweet Cicely) *''[[Osmorhiza depauperata|O. depauperata]]'' (Bluntseed Sweetroot) *''[[Osmorhiza glabrata|O. glabrata]]'' *''[[Osmorhiza longistylis|O. longistylis]]'' (American Sweet Cicely, Sweet Cicely, White Cicely, Longstyle Sweetroot, Aniseroot, Licorice Root, or Wild Anise) *''[[Osmorhiza mexicana|O. mexicana]]'' (Mexican Sweet Cicely) *''[[Osmorhiza occidentalis|O. occidentalis]]'' (Western Sweetroot) *''[[Osmorhiza purpurea|O. purpurea]]'' (Purple Sweetroot) ==Gallery== <gallery perrow=5> Image:Upload.png| photo 1 Image:Upload.png| photo 2 Image:Upload.png| photo 3 </gallery> ==References== <references/> *[[Standard Cyclopedia of Horticulture]], by L.
