The Tall Ironweed (Vernonia gigantea) is a perennial herb that grows 3-10 feet tall. Horn and Cathcart write "Native Americans used the leaves and roots to make a tea that was used during pregnancy and childbirth and to relieve postpartum pain...

The Vernonia genus was named for William Vernon, who botanized in the United States in the late 1600s and developed an extensive plant collection in Maryland."
