Voyzge to the Iflands of America^ this Species grows 
alfo plentifully in Martinko^ where for many Years 
pall it has been ufed by the Inhabitants. 
The White Sort, called by the P'ortuguefe^ Ipeca.- 
V cuanha Blanca^ is faid by P’tfo to grow in Braftle^ 
and if we may believe Father La Bat^ it is like wile 
found in Martinko, 
Thefe are the four Kinds of true Ipecacuanha which 
have hitherto come to my Knowledge , but I have met 
with two other Roots to which that Name has been 
falfely afcribed, which from their outward Colour I 
fliall call White and Reddilh Brown. 
The White Sort agrees pretty much both in Colour 
and Surface with the true White, but it is not near fo 
knotty. It is likewife conliderably larger in Size, 
ftraighter and fofter to the Touch. 
The Brown Sort is of a deeper Colour than the true 
Brown, and many Pieces thereof have fome Mixture 
of Red (from whence it has been fometimes called 
Red Ipecacuanha') and the inner Subllance of the Cor->- 
tex enclines to a reddilh Yellow. The Pieces thereof 
are much longer than any of the former Sorts, fome 
of them raealuring lixteen Inches, and they are of a 
Size between the Black and Grey. The FilTures 
are at greater Diftances from one another than in the 
true Brown, and the Spaces between them much fmooth- 
er. In a Word, though this Root when mixed with the 
true Brown, to which it bears the greateft Refem- 
blance, may eafily be confounded therewith^ yet 
when they are attentively compared, their whole Ap* 
pearance fuffieiently diftinguilhes them.
