41 6 Mr. Cutler's Account of indigenous Vegetables, 



Anagallis foliis sinuatis. Syst. Nat. 



GROUNDS TAR. Blossoms white, tinged with red. Amongst 

 grass by the way side. May — Aug. 



AZALEA. Linn. Gen. Plant. 195. 



Azalea foliis ovatis, corollis pilosis, staminibus longissimis. 

 Syst. Nat. 



AMERICAN HONEYSUCKLE. Swamp Pink. Blossoms in a 

 kind of tuft at the termination of the branches. They are 

 white ; but the deep red globules at the ends of the hairs on 

 the corolla and stamina give the appearance of a red tinge. 

 Common in low, swampy land. June. 



This shrub, when in full bloom, makes an elegant appear- 

 ance. The blossoms are fragrant, and have been made into 

 conserves. It is easily propagated in gardens, and may doubt- 

 less be improved by cultivation. We have few exotic flower- 

 ing shrubs superior to it. 



CONVOLVULUS. Linn. Gen. Plant. 198. 



Convolvulus foliis sagittatis utrinque acutis, pedunculis uni- 

 floris. Syst. Nat. 



BINDWEED. Small Convolvulus. Blossoms white or striped. 

 In corn fields. July. 



Convolvulus foliis sagittatis postice truncatis, pedunculis tetra- 

 gonis unifloris. Syst. Nat. Convolvulus major albus. Park. 



GREAT CONVOLVULUS. Two floral leaves close to the calix. 

 Blossoms white ; or white and red. Common in hedges, and 

 by stone walls. July. 



Catesby, in his history of the Carolinas, mentions an Indian who 

 daubed himself with the juice of a species of the Convolvulus, 

 and then handled a rattlesnake without receiving injury. 



Scammony.
