TAXONOMY : 
The currently accepted scientific name of red baneberry is Actaea rubra
(Aiton) Willd. [32,38,40,57,67].  In the past there has been
disagreement over how the closely related members of this genus should
be recognized.  Within the species, two subspecies, ssp. arguta and ssp.
rubra, are sometimes defined [40].  Many authors do not consider
subspecies designation necessary [32,38,57,67].  Subspecies will not be
considered separately here.
