1 Water plants, with large floating leaves and white odorous or yellow flowers. Roots farinaceous, 

 sometimes used for food. a Tubers and seeds eatable. 



3 No species of this genus is mentioned by the authors as found in Arkansas. I have seen none. But 

 some ought to be fourid in the marshes of the sunk country. 



4 Root used as vermifuge, emetic and purgative. Given especially to horses to destroy Bots. A well- 

 known plant with large white flowers appearing before the leaves in the first spring. Root with a blood- 

 red juice. 



5 Species of this family have generally an acrid or bitter sap, either concentrated in the seeds as in 

 the mustard, or distributed in the leaves as in the water-cress, or in the roots as in the Horse-Radish. 

 This sap is stimulant and anti-scorbutic. No dangerous principle is found in any species of this useful 

 family, which includes the Cabbage, the Turnip, and some of our finest garden-flowers. 



6 Probably introduced by Indians with the Mint.
