member of the mint family, Scullcap (scutellaria lateriflora) often grows among other mints along the banks of rivers and lakes and in other moist places. It is a beautiful blue-helmeted flowery plant whose name is derived from the Latin, scutella , meaning a small dish, in reference to the shape of the appendage to the flower which resembles a cap in appearance. A native of America, the Cherokee Indians relied on Scullcap for its healthful properties. In 1772, Dr. Lawrence Van Derveer undertook several experiments with this species with positive success.
