Synonyms: Clustered Black-snakeroot, Common Black Snakeroot, Sanicula gregaria.
An herbaceous perennial that is widespread in eastern North America. It grows in mesic forests and bottomlands, tolerating degradation of woodland habitat relatively well.
Clustered Blacksnakeroot can be distinguished from other species of Blacksnakeroot by its yellowish flowers; other species have white flowers.
Pollen and nectar attract small bees (Halictid and Andrenid). White-tailed Deer and other mammalian herbivores avoid eating the foliage because it has a bitter taste. The small, prickly fruits cling to animal fur and feathers, as well as clothing of humans, aiding distribution.
