Many uses of plants as South Medicine have been lost over the years, as fewer young people took on the study of Indian plant Medicine. Luckily that situation is changing now, and the Medicine elders are being sought for sharing their knowledge. If the reader knows of the use of other plants in the South Medicine, I would certainly appreciate hearing about them.

Here is a listing of plants that may have been lost in terms of how they were used for skin and related conditions: spring beauty (Claytonia virginica), trailing arbutus (Epigaea repens), dutchman’s breeches (Dicentra cucullaria), Fraser’s sedge (Cymophyllus fraseri), silverbell (Halesia carolina), foamf lower (Tiarella cordifolia), brook lettuce (Saxifraga micranthidifolia), stonecrop (Sedum ternatum), wood anemone (Anemone lancifolia), robin’s plantain (Erigeron pulchellus), false Solomon’s seal (Smilacina racemosa), black locust (Robinia pseudoacacia), doll’s eyes or white baneberry (Actaea pachypoda), witch hobble (Viburnum lantanoides), umbrella magnolia (Magnolia tripetala), fire cherry (Prunus pensylvanica), daisy fleabane (Erigeron philadelphicus), serviceberry (Amelanchier laevis), galax (Galax aphylla), thimbleweed (Anemone virginiana), Spanish bayonet (Yucca smalliana), yellowwood (Cladrastis kentukea), wild potato vine (Ipomoea pandurata), flowering spurge (Euphorbia corollata), mountain camellia (Stewartia ovata), Michaux’s saxifrage (Saxifraga michauxii), grass of Parnassus (Parnassia asarifolia), starry campion (Silene stellata), summer sweet (Clethra acuminata), downy aster and white wood aster (Aster pilosus and A. divaricatus).
