2Datte=VM0*t , in Latin 
Ebulus. , r is nether Tree, 
nor Shrub, but rather an 
Herb ; but it is fo like El- 
der, that it is called Dwarf- 
Elder. ’Tis feldom fo high 
as a Man, but moft com- 
monly three Foot high, and 
no higher. The Stalk is 
green, and channel d, and 
full of Pah, like Elder; 
which wither in Winter. 
The Leaves are whiter and 
greater than thofe of the 
common Elder, long, and 
broad, and cut in the Edges 
like a Saw. The Leaves 
arc placed by Couples, and 
fmcll ftrong. The Flowers 
are white, tip’d with red j 
and grow at the top of the 
Stalks, in Tufts. The Ber- 
ries arc black. The Root 
is long, and of the thick- 
pefs of a Finger, not woo- 
dy. It fpreads much, and 
grows commonly near 
High-ways, and Ditches, 
and Church-yards. It flow- 
ers in June t or July 5 and 
the Berries arc ripe in 
Jugujl and September-

plied to Burns, cure them.
