The marsh- marigold, as its name implies, oc- curs in marshy or wet places and along the muddy banks of streams. It is one of the common flowers in April and May. 520. Many of the crowfoots or buttercups (ranunculus) with bright yellow flowers grow in similar situations. The "wood anemone" (anemone), small with white flowers, and the rue- flower, anemone (anemonella), which resembles it, both flower in woods in early spring. The common virgin's bower (Clematis virginiana) occurs along streams or on hill- sides, climbing over shrubs or fences. The vine is somewhat woody. The leaves are opposite, petioled, and are composed of three leaflets, which are ovate, three-lobed, and usually strongly toothed, and somewhat heart-shaped at the base. The flower clusters are borne in the axils of the leaves, and therefore may also be opposite. The clusters are much branched, forming a convex mass of beautiful whitish flowers. The sepals are colored and the petals. Diagram Fig. 352- of marsh marigold plants.
