국표에 없다.

Aralia nudicaulis (commonly wild sarsaparilla, false sarsaparilla, shot bush, small spikenard, wild liquorice, and rabbit root) is a flowering plant of northern and eastern North America which reaches a height of 30–60 cm (12–24 in) with creeping underground stems.

Description

In the spring the underground stems produce compound leaves that are large and finely toothed. Tiny white flowers, typically in three, globe-shaped clusters 4–5 cm (1.6–2.0 in) wide, are produced on tall scapes that grow about the same height as the leaves. These bloom from May to July and develop into purple-black edible berries. The leaves go dormant in summer before the fruits ripen. The berries taste a little spicy and sweet.

The stem of the plant grows straight up from the ground and divides into a whorl of 3 stems which branch up and out, each forming 3 to 7 (most often 5) pinnately compound leaflets; leaflets ovate, acute, serrate, green. Technically, all the leaflets on one plant are considered to be one entire leaf, and the stems that connect the leaflets are called rachis; this arrangement is called doubly compound. In some cases some of the leaflets are further completely subdivided, forming a triply compound pattern.

This species is similar to Aralia hispida (Bristly Sarsaparilla), which is a little larger with stems covered with bristly hairs, hence the name. The stems of A. nudicaulis are smooth.

[봄에는 지하 줄기가 크고 미세하게 톱니가 있는 복합 잎을 생산합니다. 작은 흰색 꽃은 일반적으로 4x5cm (1.6x2.0 인치) 너비의 3 개의 지구 모양의 클러스터로 잎과 거의 같은 높이로 자라는 키가 큰 풍경에서 생산됩니다. 이것들은 5월부터 7월까지 피고 보라색 검은 식용 열매로 발전한다. 잎은 열매가 익기 전인 여름에 휴면하는데, 열매는 약간 맵고 달콤한 맛이 난다. 식물의 줄기는 땅에서 똑바로 자라고 3 개의 줄기로 나뉘며, 각각 3 ~ 7 개 (대부분 5 개)의 깃 모양의 복합 전단지를 형성합니다. 전단지는 난형, 급성, 톱니 모양, 녹색. 기술적으로 한 식물의 모든 전단지는 하나의 전체 잎으로 간주되며 전단지를 연결하는 줄기는 rachis라고합니다.이 배열을 이중 화합물이라고합니다. 어떤 경우에는 전단지 중 일부가 완전히 세분화되어 삼중 복합 패턴을 형성합니다. 이 종은 Aralia hispida(Bristly Sarsaparilla)와 비슷하다. 줄기가 뻣뻣한 털로 덮여 있어 이름이다. A. nudicaulis의 줄기는 매끄럽다.]

Habitat

This plant is so common in certain ecologies that it is an indicator species for these Eastern Forests of North America: Northern Hardwood Forest, Beech-Maple Forest, and Oak-Hickory Forest. Also common in the Interior Cedar Hemlock forest ecosystem in central and southern British Columbia.

Because it sometimes grows with groups of 3 leaflets, it can be mistaken for poison ivy; the way to tell the difference is that Wild Sarsaparilla lacks a woody base and has fine teeth along the edges of the leaves.

The roots have been used as substitutes for true Sarsaparilla (Smilax sp.) in herbal medicine.
