Echinacea Extract ECHINACEA PURPUREA ROOT EXTRACT;ECHINACEA PURPUREA EXTRACT Echinacea angustifolia,Coneflower extract 289-808-4 90028-20-9 photo picture image Native to the plains of North America, echinacea does not grow wild anywhere else in the world, but is widely cultivated, especially in Europe and the US. There are nine species of echinacea, four of which are used medicinally. However, E. purpurea has been studied the most and is the easiest to cultivate. The four species are E. angustifolia, E. pallida, E. purpurea, and the endangered E. tennensiensis.
Echinacea is a perennial, growing up to twenty inches in height, producing large, beautiful, daisylike purple flowers and leaves covered in coarse hair. The central "cone" of the flower is prominent and distinctive. It is found primarily in dry upland prairie regions, often in rocky areas of the Great Plains, east of the Rocky Mountains from Saskatchewan to Texas. There have been concerns over the years of overharvesting, leading many areas to declare the wild plant a protected species and forcing the development of cultivated areas for commercial purposes. It takes three to four years for the roots to reach harvestable size, although the flowerheads are harvested yearly.
