Remarks

[Thoreau was in the habit of marked plants in the field he wanted to study using string. The plant he collected this specimen from appears to be referred to in an unpublished "to-do" list pasted into the endpaper of one of his Journal volumes that ends in the middle of his July 31, 1857 entry from his Maine trip. The list of things he wants to check includes one line that reads: "v[ide] leaves fruit of stringed blueberry edge Trillium wood" fide R. L. Angelo (in litt.) Dec. 21, 2018]
