Oakesia sessilifolia, Watson, Uvularia sessilifolia, Z. (Gray’s 
Manual.) (ComMoN BELLWoRT.) 
In open woods. Common. It is a great pleasure to be able in this, 
the first general enumeration of the plants of Essex county, to intro- 
duce the new name given to one of our most abundant and prettiest 
spring flowers, the Bellwort. Prof. Sereno Watson in ‘ Contribu- 
tions to American Botany, IX, Revision of the North American Lili- 
acez” (Proceedings of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences, 
Vol. XIV), says :—‘‘ The division of Uvularia itself, which seems 
to be required, affords an opportunity to honor the memory of the 
lamented botanist, Mr. William Oakes, whose persistent zeal in in- — 
vestigating the flora of the fields and mountains of his native New 
England, makes appropriate the union of his name with one of the 
plants, which he himself knew so well.” The writer is also in- 
debted to Professor Watson for much valuable assistance in deter- 
mining many plants.

caping into walks and roadsides. Cultivated everywhere.
