Popp, M.; Schenk, R.; Abel, G. 2003. Cultivation of Cimicifuga racemosa<br />
(L.) Nuttall and quality of CR extract BNO 1055. Maturitas. 44(Suppl.<br />
1): S1-S7.<br />
Reports the results of experiments with propagation and cultivation<br />
techniques for black cohosh with the goal of producing a homogenized,<br />
standardized variety for pharmaceutical use. Germination of black cohosh<br />
seeds required two stratification periods. Gibberellic acid applications<br />
improved leaf development. Evaluation of triterpene glycoside content over<br />
several months showed peak levels in June, though extractable levels and<br />
quality of constituents peaked in August.<br />
Keywords: Chemical constituents, cultivation, harvest, research, seeds.<br />
Ramsey, G. 2000. Actaea and Cimicifuga identification. Chinquapin. 8(3): 26.<br />
Identifies key points for distinguishing Cimicifuga from Actaea based on<br />
leaf characteristics.<br />
Keywords: Identification.<br />
Ramsey, G.W. 1986. A biometrical analysis of terminal leaflet<br />
characteristics of the North American Cimicifuga (Ranunculaceae).<br />
Virginia Journal of Science. 37(1): 3-8.<br />
Identifies anatomical characteristics that can be used to differentiate Eastern<br />
North American Cimicifuga species, including stomatal apparatus length<br />
and number of stomates on terminal leaflets.<br />
Keywords: Identification, related species.<br />
Ramsey, G.W. 1988. A comparison of vegetative characteristics of several<br />
genera with those of the genus Cimicifuga (Ranunculaceae). Sida. 13(1):<br />
57-63.<br />
Offers an analysis of morphological features of Cimicifuga, Actaea,<br />
Aruncus, Astilbe, Thalictrum, Caulophylum, and Trautvetteria, highlighting<br />
vegetative differences between the genera. A key is included to aid in field<br />
identification of specimens based on terminal leaflet characteristics.<br />
Keywords: Identification.<br />
