White Baneberry

White Baneberry

White Baneberry Actaea pachypoda has brightly coloured fruits which look almost like plastic toys in the dim woodland light. The berries are white with black "eyes" and they are borne on a thick red stalk giving the plant its other name "doll's eyes". The leaves of Baneberry are divided into pointed leaflets with toothed margins. [CH] {GW}
