This is one of the species that yield the
rhatany roots of commerce. In Peru an extract is made from this
species, which is a mild, easily assimilated, astringent medicine.
It acts as a tonic, and is used in intermittent and putrid fevers.
It is also styptic, and when applied in plasters is used in curing
ulcers. The color of the infusion of the roots is blood-red, on
which account it is used to adulterate, or rather it forms an
ingredient in the fabrication of port wine.
