Bloodroot, Blodört (Sanguinaria canadensis)
This is the only species of the genus Sanguinaria. While sometimes locally abundant, this plant is generally somewhat rare. It is known from areas that have been little disturbed usually on hills and mountains. A blood red juice can be extracted from the reddish orange root, actually a rhizome, hence the name Bloodroot. Bloodroot is also known as bloodwort, red puccoon root, and sometimes pauson.
