was not yet more than two feet high. This tree is 
remarkable for its leaves, which are continued lika 
wings the whole length of the twigs. I pulled off 
one of the leaves, the juice of which produced a 
brownilh colour upon my ruffle, but did not change 
black in lefs than two or three hours. 
I had a mind to examine all the plants of the fame 
clafs. Near this was the T^oxtcodendron triphyllum 
folio fumatopiibefcente. T. 6ii. Hederce trifolia Ca- 
nadenfi affijus planta peregrina^ arbor venenata quo- 
rundam. H. R. Par. 84* -Arbor trtfolia ve?tenata J^ir- 
giniana folio hirfuto. Raii. hift. 17pp. This plant, 
which was no lefs a tree than the foregoing, is not as 
yet above three feet high ; it leaves are hairy; their pe- 
dicles, ribs, and fibres, are red ; a leaf being puliecf 
off, a milky juice iffued from the pedicle, which be- 
ing put upon linen, became a finer black than the 
former, in lefs than half an hour. 
In this botanical garden I faw another fpecies of 
Toxicodendron : this, however, was but a fhrub, 
which appeared to me to be at its full growth. It 
is the Toxicodendron triphyllum glabrum. T. 61 1. 
Hedera trijolia Canade?fs (i,orn, p(S. 'vitis JylveJiris. 
trifoha. Park. Theat. iffd. This plant is remark- 
able for having an infinite number of black points 
fcattered upon the furface of its leaves, which feem’d 
to me to be a juice extravafated tlu'ough the punc- 
tures of infedfs. A leaf being pulled off, a milky 
juice flowed out, which, the inffant it was expofed 
to the fun, became the finefl and deepeft black I had 
«ver feen.
