I have recently gotten into searching for herbal roots and would like to know a few good places for references? always second guessing what ive found. Thanks in advance!

If you look a little, you can find about any kind of herb info on bing or google or any good search engine. I had a lady this morning that wanted to know what the tops of yellow dock looks like. I searched it in bing and after just a little sorting found a picture of the yellow dock top. That is another herb that I buy.

yea ive been using it for basic identifiers as well the archives on here but ive found some plants that look like Joe pye that have no tops ( by a lakes edge) and some that have white tops ( middle of the woods) both look similar but roots dont. ones by the lake have nice root bundles with lots of tubular type offshoots versus the woods are just smaller hair-like ones.

heres one that helps.http://plants.usda.gov/java/profile?symbol=APCA&photoID=apca_005_avp.jpg
