cus canadensis, L. (common elder), 8. Pubeus (ved bermed elder), virburnum 
prunifolio, L. (black haw), V. Lentago (sweet viburnum), V. dentatum (arrow 
wood), V. Opulus (highbush cranberry). Of dog wood, Cornus alternifolia (Al- 
ternate leafed comd), Cornus Sirica (silky cornel). C. ciremote (round leaf cor-

family there is Ribes cynosbati, L. (wild gooseberry). R. Lacurtre (swamp goos- 
berry). R. rotundifolium (smooth gooseberry). R. floridum, L. (black currant). 
Spire opuntifoha (wire bark) is found in rocky ravines and hillsides and is too 
common to be appreciated. Among the brambles the most common are Rubus 
stregonis (wild red raspberry), R. Occidentalis (black cap or thimble berry), R. 
rilosus (high blackberry) and Candensis (low or dewberry); the thimble berry 
produces an abundance of fine fruit and two or more species of wild rose are 
abundant. Also of the rose family are Crategus crus galti (cock spur thom), C. 
Cochinee (scarlet fruited thom), Pyrus coronaru, L. (american crab apple), Ame- 
Janchier candensis (shad bush), Prunus americana (wild red or yellow plum) 
forming large thickets. P. pennsylvanica (wild red cherry), P. Virginica (choke 
cherry), and P. Serotina (wild black cherry). The Gymnocladus candensis (Ken- 
tucky coffee tree) sometimes grow to large size along Root river. Ampelopses 
(Juinquefolia (Virginia creeper) and Cetastus scandens (bitter sweet) is growing 
plentifully on rich grounds, and with them the Staphylia trifolia (bladder nut) 
is frequently seen. The maples are chiefly confined to river valleys and sides of 
bluits and are Acer sacherinum (sugar maple). A. Rubrum (soft maple) and 
Neyunto aceroides (box elder). The Tilia americana (basswood) is usually found 
along streams and in wet places. Of Sumac there is Rhus typhena (staghorn 
sumac), R. Glabra (common sumac), R. Renenata (poison sumac) and R. Toxi. 
codendron (poison ivy). The only native grape is Vitis «stivates (summer 
grape) of several varieties very abundant in the woods. The zanthoxy lum. 
americana (prickly ash) and Enongmus atropurpureus (waa hoo) are quite com- 
mon on bottom lands and the same may be said of the Smilax rotundifolia (green 
brier) and one other of the same ifamily. J have omitted the only other tree 
that has come under my notice, Morus rubra (red mulberry) a rare tree found 
near the mouth of Root river.
