In woods and along the banks of large rivers, frequent 
in old fields : Canada to Florida. fj . March > April. 
v. v. Flowers yellow ; berries blue. This valuable 
tree, in respect to its medicinal properties, grows to a 
large size in the southern regions, where I have seen 
trees two feet in diameter ; but from Virginia north- 
wards it decreases in size, until it becomes a mere 
straggling shrub.
