♦ The berries of the cornus sanguirea, when ripe, and laid in a heap to soften and 
heat a little* and the pulp then pressed* will yield an oil of a clear green colour, 
without smell or taste* and when mixed with Ballad, cannot be distinguished from 
the best olive oil: when spread upon the surface of water, and exposed to the air 
for a month, it becomes a solid consistence, and of a white colour like wax,, and 
with a wick, will burn with a white flame, without any sensible smell or smoke, 
L* Heritier in his description of the genus cornus, (printed at Paris, 17 88) makes 
eleven species.—He leaves out the japonica of Linnaeus, and adds three other? 
lately found in America, vizr. circindta , stricta, panicutata.^ He says the cornus 
jlorida hath a febrifuge quality, and its decoction is not inferior to the cinchona 
officinalis, and the cornus mascirtais the cornelian cherry ; which Some persons are 
fond of eating, as having an agreeable acid. 4
