=Assignment #4: Wildcrafting for the Luther's=

 Wildcrafting for the Luther's   Wildcrafting for the Luther’s is very important because it did many things for health as well as buisness in the realistic novel, Where the Lilies Bloom, by Bill and Vera Cleaver. For instance, Star Grass Root, Aleths Farinosa L, was a very important plant because of its many uses in everyday life. Star Grass Root is a perennial herb. It’s single stalk grows one to three feet high, it is pale green, has lily-like leaves that can be two to seven inches long. The stem is underground. Star Grass Root can be found in sandy, acid areas, with consistently damp soils. It’s uses are increasing motility, estrogenic effect, and tonic. Some cautions are that it can cause diarrhea, colic, and vomiting. Star Grass Root has many additional names such as, The Unicorn Root, Colic-root, Aletris, Starwort, Blazing Star, and many more. The Catawaba people used a cold water infusion for stomachaches and gave a remedy for snake bites. Another plant the Luther’s found use full is the Blue Cohosh Root. The latin name is Thatlictroides. It is smooth, has a bluish stem, and large, single unfolding leaf stem. It is found in deep, loamy, moist woodlands.
