254 REPORT OF 
Orver 19. ANACARDIACEAE. (CasHew Famity.) 
1. REEUS, L.  (Sumacz.) 
1. R. glabra, L. (Smoorn S.) Rather common. Med. prop. 
The berries are astringent and refrigerant, and are considered almost as a 
specific in sore mouth, attending mercurial salivation. June and July. 
2, KR. copallina, L. (Dwarr S.) July and August. 
3. R. Toxicodendron, L. (Porson Ivy. Porson Oax.) Com- 
mon. Found vining on trees and along fences. April and May. This 
plant not only poisons by immediate contact, but it also gives off a volatile 
principle, which, on some persons, acts very readily, even when they come 
within the vicinity of the plant. It produces, by its action, erysipelatoid 
affection. 
4. R. aromatica, Ait. (Fragrant 8.) Rare. Found in only 
one locality, and that is a high bluff of the river. The plant is considered 
not poisunous, but the leaves and juice, to our knowledge, prodived sores 
on the mouth of one who chewed them.
