This is rare north of the coast swamps, but abundant in the southern 

 parts of the State. It occurs here only as a tall shrub, while it is a 

 tree of 40 feet or more in the Gulf region. 



♦Liriodenclron Tulipifera L. White 1 Wood or Tulip-tree. 

 Common throughout. Regarded as our largest tree. 



♦MENISPERMUM CANADENSE L. MOONSEED. 



This has about the same range as Cimicifuga, and grows with it. The 

 gross appearance of the rhizome found in market, coming from Texas, 

 is so different from that which I have collected hereabout as to lead 

 to the suspicion that careful study may determine these as distinct 

 species. 



Berberis vulgaris L. Barberry. 



Escaped from cultivation in various localities. 



*CAULOPHYLLUM THALICTEOIDES (L.) MICHX. BLUE COHOSH. 

 Occasional in the northern half of the State, but nowhere abundant. 



♦PODOPHYLLUM PELTATUM L. MANDRAKE. 



Occasional in the southern, and common and abundant in the northern 

 parts of the State. Abundant as it is, it could not be collected in com- 

 petition with the West, where acres of it in a single locality can be 

 turned out by the plow. 



*Castalia odorata (Dryand) Woodv. & Wood. White Water Lily. 

 Abundant in most parts of the State. 



Sarracenia purpurea L. Pitcher plant. 



Not uncommon in swamps throughout the State. 



♦SANGUINARIA CANADENSIS L. BLOOD-ROOT. 



Common and abundant, except in the southern districts, where it is 

 occasional. One of our most beautiful spring flowers. 



It is probable that the Pharmacopoeia is in error in directing that 

 this be "collected in the autumn." It flowers in earliest spring, ma- 

 tures its seed and perishes quickly, the remains of its aerial tissues 

 disappearing rapidly. It is doubtful if any traces of its existence could 

 be found in the autumn, so tbat to find and collect it at that season 

 is probably impracticable. 



♦CHELIDONIUM MAJUS 1, CELANDINE. 



Commonly established in waste places everywhere, and growing lux- 

 uriantly. 



♦BRASSICA ALBA (L.) BOISS. WHITE MUSTARD. 



*BRASSICA NIGRA (L.) KOCH. BLACK MUSTARD. 



Both the mustards occur commonly and thrive well, showing their 

 adaptability to cultivation here. 



♦Bursa Bursa-Pastoris (L.) Britton. Shepherd's Purse. 



One of the commonest of weeds. Frequent mention of this plant has 

 been made of late years as furnishing a valuable vulnerary.
