[2] NOTE.--Further to the west and extending at least to Wisconsin,
the following list of early woodland flowers may take the place of the
above, blooming in the order given: Erigenia (or harbinger of spring),
hepatica, bloodroot, and dog-tooth violet, or perhaps the dicentra
(Dutchman's breeches) may come before the last.
The skunk cabbage, which is not a woodland flower, and therefore not
included in the above list, is the first flower probably in all New
England and the northern states.
[3] NOTE.--In the West several conspicuous flowers, particularly the
pretty hepatica, precede the cowslip.
