Sanicula (name said to be from sanare, to heal; or perhaps from San Nicolas). Umbelliferae. Sanicle. Black Snakeroot. Perennial rather tall glabrous herbs, useful sometimes as a ground-cover. Leaves few, palmately lobed or parted, those from the base long-petioled: umbels irregular or compound; fls. greenish or yellowish, capitate in the umblets, perfect and with staminate ones intermixed; involucre and involucels few-lvd.: fr. globular, carpels not separating spontaneously, ribless, thickly clothed with hooked prickles.—About 39 species (Wolff, Das Pflanzenreich, hft. 61), temperate regions of the world. The sanicles have no particular horticultural merit, being rather weedy in habit; but they are useful in wild-gardens and for colonizing in woods. CH
