HYOSCYAMUS NIGER L. HENBANE. 



Occurs occasionally by accident. Does not establish itself. 



*Verbascnm Thapsus L. Mullein. 



A very common weed, readily collected in any desired quantity in all 

 parts of the State. 



♦Scrophularia Marylandica L. 



*Scrophularia leperella Bicknell. 



Both of these species of Eigwort, until recently classed as S. Nodosa, 

 occur abundantly in all parts of the State. 



♦VERONICA VIRGINICA L. Culvers. 



This important plant is common in most parts of the State, especially 

 in the rich rocky woods of the northern counties. Its habit is some- 

 thing like that of the Cimicifuga, and, like that, it is one of our hand- 

 somest, wild flowers. A number of other species of Veronica, especially 

 the old V. officinalis, are common and abundant throughout. 



♦Leptamnium Virginianum (E.) af. Beechdrops. 



Very common in the northern half of the State, almost wherever beech 

 forests occur, and occasionally southward. 



♦Verbena hastata L. Blue Vervain. 



♦Verbena urtieifolia L. "White Vervain. 



Both species occur in the greatest abundance as tall roadside weeds. 



♦MENTHA PIPERITA L. FEPPERMINT. 



♦MENTHA SPICATA L. SPEARMINT. 



Both the official mints grow very commonly, and demonstrate their ca- 

 pacity to do well under cultivation. It would seem that the limestone 

 region of North Jersey was specially adapted to the cultivation of 

 peppermint- 

 Various other species of Mentha, native and introduced, also occur 

 commonly or, frequently throughout the State. 



♦Collinsonia Canadensis L. Horse Balm. 



Very common and abundant, and of luxuriant growth in the rich 

 woods of the northern counties. Less frequent in the south. 



♦Lycopus Europaeus L. 



♦Lycopus Virginieus L. 



Both of these, together with several other species of Lycopus, are 

 widely distributed and abundant in the low grounds of the State. 



♦Cunila Mariana L. Dittany. 



Common in dry woods, especially in the northern half of the State. 



♦Pycnanthemum. 



Various species of this genus enjoy a high repute as aromatics among 

 country people, under the name of Mountain-mint. They are very 

 abundant, especially in the rocky woods of this vicinity.
