general appearance and occasionally have purplish bracts. In some 

 places called "Indian tobacco." 



796. BROAD-LEAVED CAT'S FOOT 



ANTENNARIA CALOPHVLLA Greene 



Not common ; we have no notes. A specimen, however, was col- 

 lected by Dr. Scovell. A small patch was found at Long Point, 

 near Chadwick's. 



7.97. FRAGRANT LIFE EVERLASTING; SWEET BALSAM 



GNAPHALIUM OBTUSIFOLIUM L. 



Quite common on dry hillsides, though by no means so conspicu- 

 ously abundant as in many parts of the state; found on the hill 

 north of the ice-houses and along the shore of the lake, and on 

 Long Point. In some parts of the country it has a high medicinal 

 repute ; the dried plants are smoked, like tobacco, as a remedy for 

 catarrh.

SILPHIUM INTEGRIFOLIUM Michx. 



Rather common in flat prairie-like areas; frequent along the

. SILPHIUM TEREBINTHINACEUM Jacq. 



On the hill between Kreutzberger's pier and the depot pier, also 

 tolerably abundant in the sedgy flat up by Lakeview Hotel. Rather 

 abundant along the railroad in moist spots. A patch of more than 

 an acre down along the outlet was well grown over with this plant. 

 When wounded, it yields a copious supply of whitish resin. 



800. AMERICAN FEVER-FEW 



PARTHENIUM INTEGRIFOLIUM L. 



Not common; a few plants observed along the railroad some

 for a composite; at some distance the inflorescence reminds one 

 somewhat of that of the mountain mint. 



801. OX-EYE; FALSE SUNFLOWER 



HELIOPSIS HELIANTHOIDES (L.) Sweet 



Common in small patches at the edges of copses or in fence 

 corners. Except for the deeper orange hue of its blossoms, it
