856 REPORT OF STATE GEOLOGIST. 



A. hispida Vent. Bristly Sarsaparilla. 

 In rocky or sandy woods. 

 Flowers from June to July. 

 Lake (Hill). 



PANAX L. 



P. quinquefolium L. Ginseng. "Sang." 



(Aralia quinquefolia Descne. and Planch.) 



Found only in the southern half of the State and rapidly disap- 

 pearing because of its commercial value. It is found usually 

 in rich woods, apparently preferring warm, hillside exposures. 

 It is still abundant in Brown County upon the authority of 

 W. S. Blatchley and is reported as not rare in Fayette County by 

 Dr. Hessler. Its quantity, however, has been so greatly reduced 

 that the "sang" gatherers have disappeared.

P. tkifolium L. Dwarf Ginseng. Ground-nut. 



(Aralia trifolia Descne. and Planch.) 

 This form was first reported from Decatur County by the late 

 Supt. W. P. Shannon. 



The species flowers in our range in May and is found only 

 in rich soil. 



It is probably of somewhat more extended distribution in the 

 State, as its general range includes Indiana.

 places and in cultivated fields.
