The Following Recipes are from Old Sturbridge Village Source Documents…Enjoy! Oldest known recipe in the United States to be called a “Christmas Cookie” American Cookery by Amelia Simmons, 1796 To three pounds of flour, sprinkle a tea cup of fine powdered coriander seed, rub in one pound of butter, and one and a half pound sugar, dissolve three teaspoonfuls of pearl ash (fire place ash) in a tea cup of milk, kneed all together well, roll three quarters of an inch thick, and cut or stamp into shape and size you please, bake slowly fifteen or twenty minutes; though hard and dry at first, if put into an earthen pot, and dry cellar, or damp room, they will be finer, softer and better when 6 months old. Modern Translation 3 cups of flour ½ cup milk ¾ cups sugar 3/8 tsp baking soda 3 Tbsp coriander 3/8 tsp cream of tartar ¼ butter Preheat oven to 350F. Grease baking sheet. In a large bowl rub butter into flour, sugar, and coriander. Dissolve baking soda and cream of tartar in the milk. Add to flour mixture and combine well. On a lightly floured board, knead dough until it can easily be rolled. Roll out the dough to ¾” thickness. Cut into any shape. Bake for 15-20 minutes. Disclosure Statement: I love the taste of these cookies and make them more than I should because I love Cilantro aka Coriander. For those of you who don’t know, Coriander is ground Cilantro seeds. Some people are unable to taste all the compounds in Cilantro due to the absence of a gene and so Cilantro to them has a delightful citrusy taste. Those with the gene who are able to taste all the compounds, think Cilantro tastes awful. Even though OSV loves the idea of this being the oldest known US Christmas Cookie recipe, they have changed the type of cookies they make during their Village holiday programs due to the number of people who didn’t like these cookies. If you love Cilantro, you will love these cookies. If not, you may want to skip this recipe. 4 Connecticut Mayflower Scholarship Patron During our voyage to 2020 and the celebration of the 400th Anniversary of the Mayflower’s voyage, join in the commemoration with a special commitment. The three CT Mayflower Scholarships are now two year renewable scholarships of $1000 per year. We would like to increase the awards to four year renewable scholarships as a goal for our 2020 commemoration. While our ancestors were passengers and not crew, we must be thankful to Master Jones and his men for the safe journey over hazardous seas and the support rendered by them to our ancestors during the first winter. The bars indicate ranks of the crew of the Mayflower. Begin with the Boatswain bar, earn the Pilot bar, then the Master’s Mate bar and finally the Master bar to complete your roster.

NHESP is responsible for the conservation and protection of hundreds of species that are not hunted, fished, trapped, or commercially harvested in the state. The Program's highest priority is protecting the 176 species of vertebrate and invertebrate animals and 259 species of native plants that are officially listed as Endangered, Threatened or of Special Concern in Massachusetts. Endangered species conservation in Massachusetts depends on you! A major source of funding for the protection of rare and endangered species comes from voluntary donations on state income tax forms.

GOLAM SARWAR AND HIDEKI TAKAHASHI Laboratory of Systematic Botany, Graduate School of Agriculture, Hokkaido University, Japan Keywords: Pollen morphology; Exine sculpture; Phyllodoceae; Taxonomic significance. Abstract Pollen morphology of 13 taxa belonging to 5 genera of the tribe Phyllodoceae (Ericaceae) was examined by means of light and scanning electron microscopy (LM and SEM, respectively), or SEM alone. In Phyllodoceae, 3-colpor(oid)ate, minute to medium, oblate pollen grains are united usually in tetrahedral tetrads. Pollen tetrads are generally characterized by the presence of viscin threads except Elliottia pyroliflora, Epigaea asiatica and Phyllodoce caerulea. The absence of viscin threads might indicate to a secondary loss, since these are present at least in some species within all the genera of Phyllodoceae. The pollen morphological data confirm the infra- and inter-generic relationships as identified by molecular phylogeny of Phyllodoceae and/or vice-versa. Although various palynological characters were found to be taxonomically important at different taxonomic levels, the apocolpial exine sculpture is emerged as one of the most important palynological features of systematic importance.

    Rare Vascular Plant Taxa Associated with the Longleaf Pine Ecosystems: Patterns in Taxonomy and Ecology

    Rare Vascular Plant Taxa Associated with the Longleaf Pine Ecosystems: Patterns in Taxonomy and Ecology Joan Walker U.S.D.A. Forest Service, Southeastern Forest Experiment Station, Department of Forest Resources, Clemson University, Clemson, SC 29634 ABSTRACT Ecological, taxonomic and biogeographical characteristics are used to describe the group of 187 rare vascular plant taxa associated with longleaf pine (Pinus palustris) throughout its range. Taxonomic and growth form distributions mirror the patterns of common plus rare taxa in the flora. Most of the species have rather narrow habitat preferences, and narrow geo­ graphic ranges, but a few rare sp~cies with broad habitat tolerances and wider geographic ranges are identified. Ninety-six local endemics are associated with longleaf pine ecosystems. This incidence is as high as in other comparably-sized endemic-rich areas in North America. A distinct geographic trend in rare species composition is indicated. Species fall into 4 groups: Florida longleaf associates, south Atlantic coastal plain, east Gulf coastal plain, and west Gulf coastal plain species. Distributional factors that produce rarity must be considered in the development of conser­ vation strategies. Overall, conserving longleaf communities rangewide will protect .large ~ numbers of rare plant taxa in Southeastern United States.

Introduction The Phyllodoceae Drude is one of the most morphologically heterogeneous group that apparently has no morphological synapomorphy (Kron, 1997). Moreover, the inclusion of Epigaea in the tribe Phyllodoceae might increase the morphological heterogeneity of this group and the monophyly of this group is not well supported by morphology.

Habitat factors studied included soil type, companion vegetation, litter exposure, slope, 0 horizon depth, aspect, canopy cover, and pH. Epi~aearepens is mostly found with litter exposure between 30-60%, slopes of 20-30°, 0 horizon 1.5-2.0 cm deep, an aspect between 180 " (south)and 330" (northwest),canopy cover > 70 %, low sapling density (0 t.o 0.12 saplings/rd), and a mean soil pH of 3.5.
