Earth nut, which are of divers kinds, one bearing very 

 beautiful Flowers. Aralia TrifoUa 7 and Apios Uiberosa. 



Tusse Balls, very large. Lycoperdon sp : of which L. gem- 

 matum grows to a " very large" size. 



Mushrooms, some long. Agaricus, Phallus etc. : others 

 jagged, flat, round. Polypoi'us ; none like our great Mushrooms 

 in England ; of these some are of a scarlet colour ; Peziza ; 

 others of a deep yellow ; Caniharellus. Our Author did not 

 seem to be a very minute observer in this department of 

 Botany, as "Discoveries" of later date have shown not only 

 similarity to the " great Mushrooms in England" but a very 

 great abundance of different kinds. 



Blew flowered Pimpernel. Veronica Americana 7 



Noble Liverwort, one sort with white flowers, the other with 

 Blew^. Hepatica triloba, Americana and variety alba. 



Black Berry. Rubus vlllosus, mistaken for Rubus fruticosus 

 (Eng. Bot. 715). 



Dew Berry. Rubus Canadensis, instead of Bubus csesius 

 (Eng. Bot. 826.) 



Raspberry, here called Mulberry. Rubus hispidus, still 

 called mulberry in some parts of New England, and eaten 

 only by the children and perhaps by the birds. The Rubus 

 idceus is the Raspberry of England, while the Rubus strigosus 

 Mx : is our raspberry, a fine flavored fruit. 



Gooseberries of a deep red color. Ribes hi?'ielhini, instead of 

 Ribes uva crispa. 



Hawthorn, the Haws being as big as Services {Pyrus 

 domestica of the English Botany 850,) and very good to eat 

 and not so astringent as the Haws. ( Cratcegus oxycantha of 

 England.) These lauded " New England Rarities Discovered" 

 here, in such remarkable Haws, are probably the June berries 

 of our swamps; — Amelanchier botryapium and its typical 

 form or Canadensis, whose fruits are quite palatable. 



Toad flax. Linaria vulgaris, a common, handsome, but 

 tedious weed. (See Eng. Bot. 658). 



Pellamont or Mountain Time, perhaps Teucrium Canaden- 

 se ; but very doubtful to me. 



Mouse Ear, minor, Hieracium Cariadensc or perhaps
