1 The English names of this Catalogue are taken from Prof. Asa Gray's Manual of the Botany of the 

 United States. The order of enumeration is also taken from the same excellent book. The properties 

 of the plants are indicated from such authorities as Haller, Barton, De Candolle, &c. 



2 Herbs or climbing shrubs, with an acrid and caustic juice sometimes poisonous, but mostly destroyed 

 by heat in drying or cooking the plants. 



3 Climbing shrub with white small flowers and carpels or fruits conspicuously feathery. A plant with 

 very acrid juice, to which the milk sickness has been sometimes ascribed. 



4 Species marked with a ? have not been seen in Arkansas, but are supposed to be there. 



s Plant acrid and dangerous when green ; but eaten boiled as greens. Sometimes named Cowslips. 

 Easily known by its shining bright yellow large flowers and its kidney-shaped leaves. Generally grows 

 in water, the first flower in the spring.
