Butterfly Weed Asclepias tuberosa This perennial is characterized by the fact that its stem does not contain milky juice. It has lance-shaped leaves and orange, showy flowers. The butterfly weed is found on dry roadsides and on prairies. The Cherokee, Delaware, Iroquois, Menominee, Mohegan, Navajo, Omaha, Ponca, and Rappahannock Native Americans used the butterfly weed. A tea made of the root of the plant was used to treat lung inflammations, asthma, bronchitis, and as an anodyne, laxative, diuretic, and expectorant. A root poultice was used to treat bruises, swellings, rheumatism, and lameness. http://www.monticello.org/library/exhibits/lucymarks/gallery/butterflyweed.html http://theplantencyclopedia.org/wiki/Asclepias_tuberosa http://www.herbalextractsplus.com/pleurisy-root.cfm
