	Toothwort
		Toothwort is a perennial parasitic plant of up to 20 cm high with no green at all, since it does not possess chlorophyll.
		Toothwort has extensive underground stem, liberally coated with fleshy whitish 'leaves; at interval these emerge to form aerial stems, which bear flowers as well as tooth-like leaves.
		Toothwort, however, is an underground plant for most of its life and so must loose water by some other means.

		Cultivation: Toothwort is easily cultivated from seed or transplants, and prefers rich moist soil and shade.
		Flowers bloom in mid to late March and early April, the flowers are white to pinkish or light purple, 4 petaled, and grow in a loose cluster at the top of the stem.
		Toothwort roots are tender, long, rhizomes (underground stems), and grow close to the top of the ground.

	Two-leaved Toothwort; Crinkle-root - Flowers
		Country children, on their way to school through the woods, often dig up the curious, long crisp root of the toothwort, which tastes much like the water-cress, to eat with their sandwiches at the noon recess.
		Another toothwort found throughout a similar range, the Cut-leaved species, or Pepper-root (D. laciniata), has its equally edible rootstock scarcely toothed, but rather constricted in places, giving its little tubers the appearance of beads strung into a necklace.
		Instead of having two leaves on its stem, this species spreads whorls of three leaves, thrice divided, almost to the base, the divisions toothed or lobed, and the side ones some-times deeply cleft.

	Large Toothwort - A Michigan Threatened Woodland Wildflower
		It appears that the Large Toothwort on "Endangered Woods" is an entirely new location for the species, and that it is the first population documented in Macomb County.
		So, in our opinion, the occurrence of Large Toothwort in "Endangered Woods" is very significant for the species itself, and as an indicator of the mature, undisturbed quality of most of the forest.
		Total range: The range of large toothwort is centered in New York, occurring formerly from Maine and New Brunswick west to Wisconsin and south to West Vir- ginia.

	Cardamine concatenata
		Toothwort (also commonly called cut-leaved toothwort) is a Missouri native spring wildflower which occurs in rich woods and wooded slopes throughout the State and typically grows 8-15" tall.
		This is a spring ephemeral which blooms in early spring before the leaves emerge on deciduous trees and goes dormant by late spring to early summer.
		The toothworts are sometimes called pepperroots in reference to the spicy, radish-like flavor of the rhizomes which can be cut up and added to salads.

		In the past it used to be known as "Corpse flower" because of its strange colour and it was believed only to grow from buried corpses.
		However, this strange pink to white and sometimes purple colour comes about because Toothwort has no chlorophyll like most other plants do, being green and reliant on sunlight to give them their colour.
		If the toothwort removes too much nutrient from the host then the host will die and in turn kill the Toothwort, but if the Toothwort takes too little nutrient it cannot reproduce and will die.
