look carefully at the leaf structure-the difference between this and Yarrow becomes obvious.I am unaware of any wild plants in the Americas.Also within the European range there is a variation in potency.AVOID

Was actually used medicinally by the Saxons-so that shows you how tough they were.Interestingly in skilled hands it can be used as an antidote to strychnine poisoning being a direct antagonist to it-Nux Vomica would be the likely source of such a poison

Yep...that's the wide flat leaved stuff. I'm fairly certain it grows in america, my mom showed me some one time. I think we had a whole batch of it at my house...

 

Yes the leaf structure is different, I'd never noticed how complete the difference was before. Thanks for posting this though :P
