Virginianum C. B. pin. app. 517. Sumach feu Rhus Virgi- 
niana Park. 1450. Fig. 2. This grows in divers Country 
Gardens about London to a midling Tree $ it differs from 
the European Sumach , in having longer and narrower 
Leaves $ the firft Branches are very foft and velvety, like 
the Homs of a young Deer, for which reafon its call'd 
Buckjhom by the Country People. The Root or Stalks 
broken yields a Milk, which fmells Refinofe, and be- 
comes a hard Gum , which is a great Aftringent and Cures 
the Tooth*ach, as Mr. John Smart y a Surgeon, who liv’d 
in thofe Parts informs me. The Pulp of the Fruit and 
its outer Skin, which is very red, have both a very grate- 
ful acidity, of which Mr John Banijler , a very Curious 
Naturalift, and one who long refided in Virginia , fays, 
they make Vinegar of it there, and ufe it to feafon their 
Meat.
