this for the plant which furnifhed the Ginfeng, as we know by the 
figure drawn by Father Jartoux, on the fpot where this famous 
root is collected, that it is the root of Panax quinquefolium. See 
his figure in the tenth volume of Lettres Edifiantes, copied from 
thence in the Philofophical Tranfaétions, vol. 28. tab. 5. and in 
Defcription de la Chine par du Halde, folio edition, vol. 2, at-

Page 515. Schranckia quinquefaria, Scop. introd. g. 1334, has 
given me more trouble than any other of the frequent miftakes of 
the Editor. No Schranckia is in Scopoli, and 1334 is an error of 
the prefs. After feveral fruitlefs attempts to find this genus, I
