* Sir Joseph Bank’s in his account of the disease in corn, called by farmers 
the blight, the mildew, and the rust, is of opinion that they are owing to a fungus ; 
and says* if a berberry bush is near a field of corn, it may infect the whole; for as 
that shrub is subject to a kind of rust resembling the blight, the farina of its fungus 
may be carried by the wind to the pores of the corn. Printed in 1805* 
f See note to citrus . 
J It is said the bilberry is frequently used on the Continent for colouring white 
wines, which, with the help of a little alum to give a roughness, make them pass 
for red port wines. The stamina of this shrub form a very beautiful dome.
