Errata in Skullcap-Germander Adulteration Article

Corrections to HerbalGram 93 Photo Captions


The American Botanical Council (ABC) reports that 3 photo-caption errors appeared in the feature “The Adulteration of Skullcap with American Germander,” published in the February—April 2012 issue of its quarterly journal, HerbalGram.

The corrections are as follows:

  • On page 34, felty germander (Teucrium polium) is mislabeled as American germander (T. canadense);
  • on page 35, Baikal skullcap (Scutellaria baicalensis) is mislabeled as skullcap (S. lateriflora);
  • on page 39, felty germander is mislabeled as American germander.


The staff of HerbalGram apologizes for any confusion the errors may have caused. We sincerely thank several of our attentive readers for graciously bringing the matter to our attention. Accuracy is a vital part of ABC’s nonprofit educational mission to provide science-based information on herbs, medicinal plants, and related beneficial plant-based materials, and we are grateful to have the support of our readership as we continue to fulfill that mission.
