Phytolacca decandra
P. decandra is an ornamental plant in the Phytolaccaceae family. These terms supplant the Algonquian term for the plant, pocan, meaning "blood red." Its informal name, poke root or poke week, also descends from the Algonquin.
It is used in herbalism to stimulate the flow of lymph and is emetic in anything other than small doses.
