Stone root is a native North American perennial plant found in damp woods from Quebec to Florida and westward to Wisconsin and Arkansas. The hard, knobby rootstock sends up a quadrangular stem from 1 to 4 feet tall, with opposit, ovate, serrate leaves which are pointed at the apex and narrowed or heart-shaped at the base. The two-lipped greenish-yellow flowers grow in a loose panicled raceme at the top of the stem from July to October.
