AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers around a bonus assignment for Environmental Science that involves identifying plant sources used in medicine. The main focus is on Indian Snakeroot, which the poster found challenging to classify as a medicine despite its use as a herbal remedy. They spent considerable time researching but decided to shift focus to other coursework, particularly physics and English. The poster expresses a desire for assistance or hints regarding Indian Snakeroot and mentions that a new forum section for biology homework will be available soon. Additionally, a link to an article on Indian Snakeroot from phytomedical technologies is provided for further information.

I was working on a bonus assignment for Environmental Science, and we had a chart:

Medicine/Plant Source/Use

We were given one detail. For 8 of the 10 it was medicine. The only one I could not complete was a plant source - Indian Snakeroot. I found information on Indian Snakeroot as a herbal remedy but not as a medicine. I spent quite a while finding the answers and decided it was time to move on to other work. The homework isn't to due with physics so I thought I would post it here, and it is technically not mandatory thus not homework.

Anyway, I will have an hour long online course I can search for the answer, and someone else in my class might have it; however, if you can give me the answer or a hint that would be great.

Don't waste your time searching for me or anything. I just stopped working because I wanted to work on some of my online physics course and an english thing. Spending to much time writing this post. Seeya.
