Tuliptree Liriodendron tulipifera
This tree can get up to 100 feet tall and is
found in moist soil. It has leaves that are
four-lobed with a notched apex. Its flowers
resemble tulips and can be green to
greenish yellow or orange. It was used by
the Cherokee and Rappahannock tribes. A
tea made of its bark was used to treat
indigestion, dysentery, rheumatism,
pinworms, fevers, malaria, toothaches,
and cough. The tea was used as a wash
for fractured limbs, boils, and snakebites.
An ointment made of the buds was used to
treat burns and other inflammation. The
leaves were crushed and taken to cure
headaches.
