Carya floridana—Pawcohiccora, a name used by the Powhatan of coastal Virginia, became “hickory” in English. Carya was so important as a food and for wood that some species have distinct Creek names, as in penossv, oce-tofkv, and oce-cvpkce. (See p. 176.) Chiococca parvifolia—Medicine made from “snow berry” or “skunk root” has been used as a purgative and to treat asthma, expel gas, lower fever, and ease menstrual cramps.
