328 NATURAL HISTORY 



Helleborus fcetidus, stinking hellebore, bear's foot, or 

 setterwort, all over the High Wood and Coney Croft 

 Hanger: this continues a great branching plant the 

 winter through, blossoming about January, and is very 

 ornamental in shady walks and shrubberies. The good 

 women give the leaves powdered to children troubled 

 with worms ; but it is a violent remedy, and ought to 

 be administered with caution. 



Helleborus viridis, green hellebore in the deep stony 

 lane on the left hand just before the turning to Norton 

 Farm, and at the top of Middle Dorton under the 

 hedge : this plant dies down to the ground early in 

 autumn, and springs again about February, flowering 

 almost as soon as it appears above ground.
