Herb's Description

Ruscus aculeatus's Root. Butcher's Broom, a low, shrubby, evergreen plant, which occurs not infrequently in woods and waste and bushy places. The name Knee Holly appears to have been given it from its rising to about the height of a man's knee (though occasionally specimens are found growing about 3 feet high), and from its having, like the true Holly, prickly leaves. The small greenish-white flowers are solitary growing from the centre of the leaves and blossom in the early spring. They are dioecious, i.e. stamens and pistils are on different plants
