Milfoil or goosetongue. Yarrow. It is used in liqueurs and to make bitters and in the manufacturer of some cosmetics. It has some quality which makes it inadvisable for women during pregnancy.
Sheep Polypore. A variety of mushroom with a whitish often circular cap, white on the underside, and a white central stalk; found under conifers. Listed as edible but not popular.
Alewife. A migratory fish very similar to the herring, with silvery skin and strong flavour, abundant on the east coast of North America. It has a single spot on each side, behind the operculum and is deeper in the body than a herring. It is available smoked or pickled. The last stop on the Red Line of the Boston 'T' is Alewife, presumably indicating that a lot of these fish used to be landed in Boston.
