Collinsonia

History:

Collinsonia is a native North American perennial that may be found in the damp woodlands of Canada and the United States. The hard, knobby rootstock is brown-gray and sends up a quadrangular stem that bears oval, serrate leaves terminating in branches of greenish-yellow flowers that bloom from July to October. Collinsonia thrives in moist soil in partial shade and reaches a height of four feet. The whole plant exudes a strong lemon fragrance and a pungent, bitter taste, which has earned it the common name, Richweed; and its English and botanical name, Collinsonia, was bestowed upon it in honor of the man who discovered it, Peter Collinson. Generations of Native Americans and settlers alike in the mountains of Virginia, the Carolinas, Kentucky and Tennessee used the leaves in lotions and washes for wounds, cuts and bruises and considered the root as a diuretic for "the stone" (kidney and bladder), which is believed to be the root's traditional and common use. It is also thought to be the origin of one of the herb's common names, Stone Root. Collinsonia was also an important household staple for headaches and constipation, and during the nineteenth century, Collinsonia continued to enjoy further use by physicians in the United States.Collinsonia is collected from the wild in autumn, dried, and used in herbal preparations. Some of the constituents in Collinsonia include resin, mucilage, starch, tannin, wax, volatile oil and an alkaloid.
