'''''Sanguisorba canadensis''''', or '''Canadian burnet''', is a perennial in the family [[Rosaceae]] native to North America, commonly growing in bogs, swamps, and roadsides from Labrador to Georgia. It grows 4-5 ft. tall, with creamy white flowers that grow in cylindrical spikes.

Sanguisorba canadensis, or Canadian burnet, is a perennial in the family Rosaceae native to North America, commonly growing in bogs, swamps, and roadsides from Labrador to Georgia. It grows 4-5 ft. tall, with creamy white flowers that grow in cylindrical spikes. Unlike its close relatives, Sanguisorba officinalis (Great burnet) and Sanguisorba minor (Salad burnet), the leaves must be cooked to be eaten, in order to remove the bitterness.[1]


Read about Sanguisorba canadensis in the Standard Cyclopedia of Horticulture 

Sanguisorba canadensis, Linn.

Low grounds, Mich., east and south. —An interesting plant, worthy a place in the hardy border, and sometimes sold for that purpose. It produces much foliage. Grows 5-6 ft. tall. CH
