Side-saddle flower or huntsman's cap. The root is but little used by educated physicians, but has been recommended for a variety of conditions in which it is probably useless. The glandular secretion of the flower appears to contain a digestive ferment which, however, is not used medicinally. [Sarrazin, a proper name.]
