| Notes: | Label source: Description:- The rhizome closely resembles that of V album, the chief difference being the fact that American veratrum is usually cut longitudinally, whilst white veratrum is commonly entire; other characters are the brighter yellowish-bro, wn colour and the more shrivelled appearance of the roots. These are, however, variable characters, and there is no definite means of distinguishing the two drugs. | ||||
