Euphorbia ipecacuanhae, known by the common names of Carolina ipecac, American ipecac, and ipecac spurge, is a member of the spurge family, Euphorbiaceae. It is a perennial herb, native to the seaboard of the eastern United States, from South Carolina to Long Island.[2]
Though it is not closely related to its namesake, Carapichea ipecacuanha, it was often used for the same purpose, with the deep taproot used to create a powerful emetic as a local substitute for imported syrup of ipecac.[3]
