Nabalus


Nabalus is a genus of Asian and North American flowering plants in the tribe Cichorieae within the family Asteraceae.
Nabalus is now considered the correct name for a group of plants in North America that were formerly considered to be members of Prenanthes, and were included in that genus in the Flora of [North America] treatment. Common names for the genus include "rattlesnake root" and "white lettuce." The latter reflects its close relationship to lettuce but having flowers that are whitish or purplish-white in some species. Many of the species are monocarpic perennials, in which an individual plant may live for multiple years in a vegetative condition but then will die after flowering and fruiting.
