ARALIA HISPIDA. 
Class. Order, 
PENTANDRIA PENTAGYNIA. 
According to Pursh, this plant grows in 
stony woods, from Canada to New England ; 
also, on high mountains, in Pensylvania 
and Virginia. It isa very low shrub, mak- 
ing scarcely any wood, flowering in the 
beginning of summer, and sometimes pro- 
ducing its fruit, which is a small purple 
berry. 
It seldom lives long here, nor have we 
succeeded in increasing it. It endures the 
cold of our climate, and should be planted 
in loam and peat, either in a pot, or which 
is better, in the full ground.
