An indigenous shrub, which grows in boggy woods and low wet places throughout the United States. It is analogous to mezereon in its action -six or eight grains of the fresh bark producing violent vomiting, preceded by a sense of heat in the stomach, often followed by purging. Applied to the skin, the bark vesicates.
