The garden culture of Burnet is implied in Lyte’s* name, 1586. 
Ray; however, a hundred years later, does not mention culture. 
In 1693,3 Quintyne grew it in the royal vegetable garden in 
France, and in 1726, Townsend‘? says it is “a good plant for 
Sallads,” and Mawe, in 1778, says it has long been cultivated 
as a salad plant; while Bryant,° in 1783, says it is so frequently 
¢ultivated in gardens that to describe it would be unnecessary. 
I find it recorded for American gardens in 1832, and it then 
was doubtless a long-known plant. It is now grown in the 
Mauritius. 7 
In France the Burnet is called pimprenelle petite ; in Germany, 
Sarten-pimpinelle ; in Flanders and Holland, pimpernel ; in Italy, 
Pam, selvastrello ; in Spain, pimpinela; in Portugal, pimpi-
