Sweet Cicely (Osmorhiza longistylis) erect stem grows up to three and half feet and flowers May to June. Their leaves are fern like and divided into three parts and then further subdivided or deeply toothed. Sweet Cicely has tiny white flowers which look umbrella shaped sometimes. It's sometimes called wild licorice because the root has an aromatic licorice smell. Native Americans made wide use of sweet cicely, they used it to treat wounds and season foods.
