I once took notice of a wanton Womans compounding 
the folid Roots of this Plant with Wine, for an Amorous 
Cup; which wrought the defired effecl:. 
1 Gerard, p. 47, — Stcllaria graminea, L. ; for which our author mistook, as 
did Cutler a century after, the nearly akin 5. longifolia, Muhl. 
2 Appears not to be meant for a specific reference to any of Gerard's species; 
but only an indication of the genus, with the single distinguishing character of 
color, which was enough to separate the New-England plants from the only 
British one referred by Gerard to Iris. Both of our blue-flags are peculiar to the 
country. 
3 Not one of Gerard's bastard daffodils, but his dog's-tooth, p. 204 (Erythro- 
nium, L.). Our common dog's-tooth was at first taken for a variety of the 
European, but is now reckoned distinct. 
4 Gerard, p. 205, — Orchis, L., etc. It is here clear that the name is used only 
in a general way. The second name (Satyrioti), perhaps, however, makes our 
author's notion a little more definite, and permits us to refer the plants he had 
probably in view to species of Platanthcra, Rich. (Gray, Man., p. 444), of which 
only one is certainly known to be common to us and Europe.
