According to Clarke, J.H.: “Botanists agree in recognising no distinction other than that of habit between the two. Millspaugh (American Medicinal Plants) tells in his masterly account of the plant that he has seen the two varieties springing from the same rootstock. He advises that the tincture should be made from specimens of both.” |
