Licorice, or Licorice naked (Latin Glycyrrhíza glábra) is a perennial herbaceous plant; Species of the genus Licorice (Glycyrrhiza) of the family Legumes (Fabaceae).
Rhizome thick, multi-headed, woody; Gives a single sheer, penetrating for several meters (up to 5 m), a simple or unbranched root and a horizontal complex network of 5-30 roots-stolons 1-2 m in length and lying at a depth of 30-40 cm. Rhizomes and roots outside are brown, On a break - yellowish.
Stems are several, they are upright, simple or unbranched, short-furry, with a height of 0.5-0.8 to 2 m.
Leaves alternate odd-pinnate, 5-20 cm in length, consist of three to ten pairs of oval or oblong-ovate, entire leaves with tips at the apex. The leaves are covered with sticky pinpoint glands. Stipules are small, subulate, by the time of flowering they fall off.
Flowers 8-12 mm in diameter, in friable 5-8-flowering axillary brushes, peduncles 3-5 cm long. Cup with narrow lanceolate teeth equal to or exceeding the tube. Corolla whitish-violet, irregular, butterfly.
The fruit is a leathery, straight or curved brown bean with two to six seeds, 2-3 cm long, 4-6 mm wide, glabrous or seared with glandular spines. Seeds are kidney-shaped, shiny, greenish-gray or brownish.
Flowering from June to August. Fruits ripen in August - September.
Propagated by seeds, vegetatively and by rhizome cuttings. In vegetative propagation, each stolon root carries a kidney at the end, from which a daughter plant develops, which gives the above-ground stems, a steep root and a new network of stony roots. Thus licorice spreads over long distances and forms dense thicketsLicorice root
