Actaea rubra (Red Baneberry)

Growing in bushy clumps, Red Baneberry bears fluffy clusters of small white flowers in spring. The berries that ensue in mid to late summer are brilliant red, though sometimes white, without the characteristic dark spot of  Doll's Eyes, Actaea pachypoda. Although there are historical accounts of use in medicinal teas, Baneberry plants are poisonous; all parts may cause gastrointestinal inflammation or skin blisters.
