Aquilegia vulgaris, L. 
The garden Columbine occasionally is found escaped. 
Actzea spicata, L., var. rubra, Michx. (Rep BANEBERRY. ) 
In many parts of the county, but rather scarce. 
Acta alba, Bigelow. (WHITE BANEBERRY.) 
In similar situations, but more common than the last. Moist rocky 
places or by shady walls. 
Cimicifuga racemosa, Zll. (BLAKE SNAKEROOT.) 
Collected along the embankment of the railroad near West Glouces- 
ter some years since (memo. Mr. G. D. Phippen). It is probable 
that the plants were introduced although they were at the time 
quite abundant. 
- MAGNOLIACEA. 
(MAGNOLIA FaMILyY.) 
Magnolia glauca, Z. (SmaLtut MaGNotia.) 
Gloucester and swamps towards Essex. First brought to notice 
by Rev. Manasseh Cutler during the last century. 
Liriodendron Tulipifera, Z. (Tu.ir Tres.) 
Introduced from the west and south, as are some species of Mag- 
nolia, as an ornamental tree. 
BERBERIDACEZ. 
(BARBERRY FAMILY.) 
Berberis vulgaris, Z. (ComMMoN BaRBERRY.) 
Very abundant in rocky places and along walls. (Nat. from Eu.) 
Caulophylium thalictroides, Michx. (BiLuE CoHoss.) 
Georgetown (Mrs. C. N.S. Horner). Rare. 
Podophyllum peltatum, Z. (May AppLe MANDRAKE.) 
Extensively introduced in old gardens, and said by some to be a 
native of the county, but this is very doubtful. Of this plant Gray 
says that the fruit is edible while the leaves and roots are drastic 
and poisonous. 
NYMPHAACESR, 
(WaATER-LILY FaMILy. ) 
Brasenia peltata, Pursh. (WaTER-SHIELD.) 
Quite common in most ponds and in slow places in the rivers. It 
would seem that the gelatinous substance which abounds on all 
submerged portions of the plant might be made of use.
