Describe the plant here...
{{Inc|
Hydrastis (name of doubtful meaning). Ranunculaceae. Hardy herbaceous perennials, grown in a few gardens for their showy leaves and beautiful red fruit. The roots are ground when dry and used for medicine.

Stem erect, pubescent: lvs. palmately 5-7-lobed, serrate: fls. greenish white, small, solitary; sepals 3, petal-like, falling early; petals none; stamens many: carpels 2-ovuled, in fr. becoming aggregated berries. —Two species, 1 from Japan and 1 from N. Amer., the former (H. jezoensis, Sieb.) apparently not in cult.

Moist situations in good, rich loam with plenty of leaf-mold are required. Seeds may be sown in moist, shaded soil of a sandy nature. This is done in fall or early spring. The seeds should be covered very slightly but a mulch or covering is helpful. Plants which have grown in one place for a number of years are easily propagated by division of the roots in late fall or early spring. The commercial cultivation of goldenseal for medicinal purposes is explained in Farmers' Bulletin No. 613 (United States Department of Agriculture) by Walter Van Fleet.
