Discover the unique and fascinating Aristolochia tomentosa, also known as the Woolly Dutchman's Pipe or Woolly Pipevine. This species of flowering plant is a member of the Aristolochiaceae family and can be found in the southeastern and south-central United States. The unique, tubular flowers of this plant resemble a Dutch smoking pipe, hence the common name. While this plant has medicinal properties similar to the A. serpentaria, the Virginia snakeroot, it is weaker in strength. The plant is used in various proprietary medicines to treat skin, circulatory and kidney disorders. However, it is important to note that the plant contains aristolochic acid, which can be carcinogenic and harmful to the kidneys. Aristolochia tomentosa is a beautiful and valuable addition to any garden and is ideal for cultivation in forest areas.
