  1. American ginseng

    American ginseng is a herbaceous perennial plant in the ivy family, commonly used as Chinese or herbal medicine. It is native to eastern North America, though it is also cultivated in places such as China. The plant's forked root and leaves were traditionally used for medicinal purposes by Native Americans. Since the 19th century, the roots have been collected by "sang hunters" and sold to Chinese or Hong Kong traders, who often pay very high prices for particularly old wild roots. It is also known by its Chinese name huaqishen or xiyangshen. ⁕ American ginseng in human figure ⁕ Under wooden shade, American ginseng in late fall at Monk Garden in Wisconsin ⁕ American ginseng berries are ripe by late fall in Wisconsin.
