admit them in collections. 
S. dulcamara has roots which smell like the potatoe ; being chewed, a sensation of bitterness is first felt, and 
then of sweetness, whence the specific name. The berries excite vomiting and purging, and the twigs and 
leaves have been used in rheumatic and scorbutic cases with good effect. 
S tuberosum, Pomme de Terre, Fr., Kartoffcl, Ger., Pomo de Terra, Ital, Potades, Span., &c. is supposed 
to be a native of South America, and to be found in a wild state in elevated places in the tropical regions, and 
in the more temperate districts of the western coasts of that country. Some tubers, said to be of the wild po- 
tatoe, have been received from these parts by the Horticultural Society, and cultivated by them ; their produce 
differs very little, if at all, from that of the common cultivated sort ; they are small, roundish, and pink and 
white colored. {Hurt. Trans. 5. 257.) It appears probable that the iiotatoe was first brought into Europe from 
the mountainous parts of South America in the neighbourhood of Quito, where they were called papas, to 
Spain, early in the 16tii century. P>om Spain, where they were called battatas, they found tiieir way to Italy, 
and there received the same name as the truffle, taratoufli. From Italy they went toVienna, througii the governor 
of Mons in Hainault, who sent some to Clusius in 1598. To England the potatoe found its way from North 
America, being brought from Virginia by the colonists sent out by Sir Walter Raleigh in 1584, and who re- 
turned in July Li^Se; and, "probably," says Sir Joseph Banks, "brought with them the potatoe." Gerarde,
