The flowers are showy and vary fromwhite to rose pink in color. The thick rhizomes, with their more oiless fleshy roots, are gathered from one- or two-year old plantsdeprived of the smaller roots and cut transversely into pieces ofsuitable length. Description.—Cylindrical, more or less branched, from 5 to 12cm. in length and 5 to 10 mm. in thickness; outer surface reddish-brown, longitudinally wrinkled and furrowed and occasionally spirallytwisted; fracture short and even; inner surface with a brownish-red corky layer, cambial zone distinct separating the non-radiateyellowish wood from the whitish, yellowish or grayish-brown cortex;odor slight; taste sweetish and bitter. Rhizomes usually more orless knotted and 4-angled and possess 2 to 4 characteristic woodwedges. Inner Structure.—See Fig. 86. SOAP ROOT 201. Fig. 86.—Saponaria officinalis. A, showing the thick, branching, horizontallycreeping rhizome (stolon), producing numerous buds (B) and ramifyingroots (T) at the nodes; R, base of a long thick secondary root; St, an ascend-ing stolon which has not yet reached the surface of the ground. B, trans-verse section of an apical internode of a stolon, showing epidermal cells(Ep), the inner collapsed portion of cortex (C), and the outermost layer ofpericycle consisting of sclerenchymatous fibers (St). C, transverse sectionof apical internode of a stolon, showing the innermost layer of sclerenchy-matous fibers of the pericycle (St), underneath which is the underlying cork(Co); phelloderm (Ph) and leptome (L).
