We learn from the passage that the bloodroot is ....... .

One of the loveliest but most fragile of spring flowers in America is the bloodroot. In April and
May, it pushes its delicate white blossom upward, wrapped in silver green leaves, in open
woodlands from Canada to Florida and west to Nebraska and Arkansas. The first warm sunshine
opens the flower. It has yellow stamens and from eight to twelve white petals; but the petals are
soon washed or blown away by rain or wind. The plant is named for the red juice that oozes from
broken stems and roots. In older days, it was taken, on a lump of sugar owing to its bitter taste, to
cure coughs and colds. The dried roots contain an alkaloid that has medicinal value as a stimulant.
