It is a perennial plant which has an erect, round, hairy, fistular stem, 1 to 4 feet (0.3 to 1.2m) high, opposite ovate&#45;lanceolate [[Entire leaf|entire]] leaves, and axillary whorls of brownish&#45;purplish flowers. It is a native of [[North America]], occurring in rich woods from [[Canada]] to [[Alabama]] and west to [[Iowa]]. Its dried and roasted berries have been occasionally used as a substitute for coffee; but it is chiefly valued for its medicinal properties, its root acting as an emetic and mild [[cathartic]]. It is sometimes called '''Tinker's root''', being named after Dr. Tinker, who first brought it to notice.[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/New_International_Encyclopedia]
