aka "Jack in the pulpit". These get a big ball of berries late summer, and from a distance get you excited for ginseng.

Have you ever eaten the bulbs? They are good in pasta sauce and stuff like that. Make sure you cook them though. Raw they have an acid in them, makes your tongue feel like you've had a shot of novacaine.
