Daucus Pusillus Michx.— Mrs. R. P. 

 Bingham (S. B. Soc. Nat. Hist., C. 

 i:2-35) states that this is "very much 

 valued by the natives as a remedy for 

 the bite of the rattlesnake." She cites 

 "one of our oldest physicians" as hav- 

 ing- "seen a Californian chew the plant, 

 moisten his arm with the saliva, and 

 then permit a rattlesnake to bite his 

 arm, without producing swelling or any 

 bad effect." She says the plant is 

 usually applied in the form of a poul- 

 tice. It is widely distributed from 

 British Columbia to Mexico and east- 

 ward to the Atlantic, but I have not 

 personally known of its use above stat- 

 ed, the "Golondrina" (a species of Eu- 

 phorbia) possessing the same desir- 

 able reputation throughout the sec- 

 tion where I have collected.

 fruit. Edward J. Wickson says: "It 

 is common throughout the state; and 

 frequently becomes a tree 20 feet or 

 more in height with a trunk 18 inches 

 in diameter. The fruit is very abund- 

 ant, and largely used." — California
