2567. MENISPERMUM [Tourn.] L. 



1. Menispermum canadense L. Common Moonseed. Map 982. Infre- 

 quent to common throughout the state on the low banks of streams, in 

 alluvial lands along streams, on fences along roadsides, and on the steep 

 and rocky slopes of streams and ravines. Most abundant in overflow 

 woods in the Lower Wabash Valley. This plant twines from left to right. 

 It freezes to the ground each year throughout the state except in a few 

 of the southwestern counties where it becomes woody. I have a specimen 

 from Warrick County that has a stem 1 cm in diameter. 



The rhizomes were formerly much used in medicine but are rarely 

 used now. When this plant is introduced into cultivated grounds, it is 

 almost impossible to exterminate it. Personal experience prompts this 

 statement.

 inundated each year.
