Huang Qin, Scutellaria (Scutellaria Baicalensis) is a perennial herb, reaching a height of 35 cm. The plant has 5-6 stems; they are up straight, tetrahedral, slightly pubescent, and branched. The rhizome is long (up to 50 cm), vertical, covered with deep grooves, with multiple vertical roots. In June, the plant goes into the flowering phase. The flowers are large. The inflorescence is a one-sided brush. The flowers are placed singly in the axils of the upper leaves. The fruit consists of four small spherical, slightly pubescent black nuts. The fruit ripens in August-September: at the slightest touch, the nuts shoot and disperse small seeds.
