Actaea rubra, also known as Red Baneberry, is a striking herbaceous flowering plant native to North America. Growing up to 80 cm tall, these open woodland plants sport coarsely toothed leaves with deeply lobed margins. In mid to late summer, the berries turn bright red and bear a distinctive black dot. While the plant was often used medicinally by North American Indian tribes, modern users should be aware of the plant's potential toxicity. Nevertheless, the plant is still grown in shade gardens and highly regarded for its attractive berries and upright clump forming habit. Though all parts of the plant contain an irritant oil that is most concentrated within the roots and berries, the berries are the most toxic part of the plant and can cause nausea, dizziness, increased pulse, and severe gastrointestinal discomfort. While accidental poisoning is unlikely, six berries are enough to cause poisoning in a healthy adult, while as few as two berries can be fatal to a child.
