MEDICINAL PLANTS OF NEW JERSEYS 



By H. H. Rusby, M. D. 



*RUBUS CANADENSIS L. RUNNING BLACKBERRY. 



*RUBUS VILLOSUS AIT. HIGH BUSH BLACKBERRY. 



Both these official blackberries are common and abundant throughout. 

 I am strongly of the opinion that the bark of the root of the former 

 cannot be collected commercially, owing to mechanical difficulties, and 

 I should favor its deletion from the official definition. 



*Geum. 



Six species occur in the State, three of them in abundance. G. Rivale, 

 or Avens Root, is rather common in the northern swamps. 



*Fragaria. 



Various form of the wild strawberry are both common and abundant 

 throughout. 



*Agrimonia. 



A number of species occur abundantly throughout the State. The 

 genus has recently been revised by Dr. Britton, and a number of new 

 species described. 



Sanguisorba Sanguisorba (L.) Britton. Burnet. 

 Occurs only in a few localities. 



Rosa canina L. Dog Rose. 



It was formerly believed that all our Sweet-briars were referable to 

 Rosa Rubiginosa, but some years ago it was determined that much of 

 that growing along the Delaware was the genuine Dog Rose of Europe. 



*Heuchera Americana L. Alum Root. 



* Read before the New Jersey State Pharmaceutical Association, Summit Meeting, May i8th,i898.
