The  plant  is  so  similar  to  the  European  Veratrum  album  as  to 
lead  many  botanists  to  regard  it  as  only  a  variety  of  that  species.

ours  having  greener  flowers,  its  panicles  more  compound,  and  the 
Fig. 
component  racemes  more  loosely  flowered  and  less  regular,  and  also 
having  its  leaves  more  pointed.  The  plate  illustration  conveys 
an  idea  of  the  general  appearance  of  the  plant.
