Thus bloodroot, or Sanguinaria canadensis, whose roots and rhizomes secrete a red sap when cut, was once thought to heal blood disorders and hasten wound healing.

See Sanguinaria. µ In England the name is given to the tormentil, once used as a remedy for dysentery.

The purple Hepatica opened her soft eye in the woods, and the delicate Sanguinaria spread her snowy bosom to catch the pale sunbeam.

It was called by the old herbalists sanguinaria—"quia sanguinem sistet."

Sanguinaria, the Bloodroot, is named from the blood-like color of its juice.
