1 The same name with that of Yellow-Hoot, is given also to Zanthoriza apiifulia, L'Her., which also 

 prohahly grows in Arkansas. The roots of hoth species are bitter and tonic, employed also for dyeing 

 yellow. The color is not fast. 



2 Both varieties with red and white fruits, sometimes named Necklace veed, are found in Arkansas. 

 Fruit beautiful, in grapes, poisonous. Root bitter, employed as astringent for gargarisms. 



3 Has a long (one to two feet) raceme of white flowers successively opening from the base up, and 

 black round sessile fruits. The decoction of the root is a useful family medicine in cases of rheumatism, 

 dropsy, and especially of the St. Vitus dance. 



4 I have not seen any other species of Magnolia in Arkansas. Its aromatic fruit, infused in brandy, 

 is employed as a remedy for Rheumatism. Its bark is said to be as good as that of the Cinchona against 

 intermittent fevers. Wood scarcely used, good for joiners r tools. 



6 Fruit edible, can be much improved by cultivation. 



6 Fruit edible, not purgative. A light decoction of it in milk serves to alleviate the cough of the con- 

 sumptives. Leaves poisonous.
