The naming of this root can cause confusion, \"Rattlesnake Master\" is one of several folk names applied to \u003cem\u003eLiatris\u003c\/em\u003e, but the same name is also given to \u003cem\u003eEryngium yuccifolium\u003c\/em\u003e, a botanically unrelated plant that we carry separately in our shop. While the two are considered largely interchangeable in traditional rootwork, they are distinct plants with different appearances. If you are looking for true Rattlesnake Master (\u003cem\u003eEryngium yuccifolium\u003c\/em\u003e), please see that listing.
