The flowers are single, with a calycine perianth of three greenish white bracts, and there are numerous stamens and pistils. The fruit is red and berry-like. The rhizome contains such alkaloids as hydrastine and berberine, which are used as styptics. REFERENCEAtlas lekarstvennykh rastenii SSSR. Moscow, 1962.T. V.
