Panax trifolius, commonly called dwarf ginseng, is plant native to the Northeastern and Appalachian regions of North America. It is found in low mesic woods with acidic soils.[1]
It produces an umbel of white flowers in late spring. Like other members of the genus Panax, this species is used in herbal medicine for its adaptogenic properties. [2]
