Taenidia integerrima |
Taenidia integerrima, the yellow pimpernel,[1] is an herbaceous plant in the parsley family. It is native to the eastern North America, where it is widespread.[2] Its natural habitat is rocky prairies and woodlands, often over calcareous substrates.[3][4] It is a perennial.[5]
It is listed as endangered in Connecticut,[6] as historical in Rhode Island, and threatened in Vermont.[7]
The Menominee take an infusion of root taken for pulmonary troubles, chew the steeped root for 'bronchial affections',[8] and use it as a seasoner for other remedies because of the good smell.[9] The Ojibwe smoke the seeds in a pipe before hunting for good luck.[10]
