156 White to Green and Brown Flowers 



species, marked by conspicuous bracts, which grows on the 

 forested hillsides. 



TALL CINQUEFOIL 



Potcntilla arguta. Rose Family 



Stems: erect, stout, simple below. Leaves: seven-to-eleven foliolate; 

 leaflets ovate, obtuse at the apex, the terminal one cuneate, the others 

 rounded at the base. Flowers: cyme strict, close; calyx densely 

 pubescent. 



Cinquefoils are very numerous in the mountain regions, 

 and somewhat resemble buttercups. The Tall Cinque foil is 

 a fine showy plant, its white flowers growing in a cluster 

 and having five petals ; the stalks are hairy and have many 

 leaves growing up them. All the other Cinquefoils have 

 yellow flowers except P. palustris, which has purple ones. 



CAPBERRY 



Rubus parv-iflorus. Rose Family 



Erect, branched, very slightly bristly. Leaves: petioled, simple, cor- 

 date at the base, three-to-five lobed, the lobes acute, the middle one 

 slightly longer than the others, all coarsely and unequally serrate. 

 Flowers: white, few, corymbose, terminal; calyx-lobes tipped with a 

 long slender appendage. Fruit: depressed-hemispheric, edible, red 

 when ripe. 



The five snow-white crinkled petals of the Capberry 

 look very frail and pretty when seen amid the dense coarse 

 foliage of this large bushy shrub. The flower is formed 

 like a miniature white rose, and has numerous tiny stamens 

 set around the convex receptacle in which are inserted the 

 carpels that ultimately ripen into drupelets and form an 

 aggregate red fruit. 



The Capberry grows abundantly in the 



" High-wooded hollows, where serenely rest 

 The lazy clouds, like giants in repose."
