54 In the north of Ireland and Isle of Man, wool is dyed with it of an orange colour. 
Serge dyed with it became of a lemon-colour, but if previously infused and boiled in 
urine, of a russet brown. It is probably what the people in the north of Ireland 
call Stone-crottles , and which there and in the Isle of Id an is used to dye wool of an 
orange-colour. It is also called Arcell, from the resemblance it has to the Orchid in its 
use in dying. Rutty.
