![205 Hydrastis canadensis. | ** Warneria, or Yellow Root, from Pensylvania, fruited 1765. Mem.—*'' Warneria or Yellow Root, in flower, from J. Bartram, Aug. 1755. *' Warneria flowered and fruited in my garden Sept. 1765 ; a red sweet fruit, size of a large Raspberry ; may be said to be a flower almost without calyx or petals, they so soon fall off, leaving a cluster of white stamina behind. Repeated importations of this plant from America are re- corded. Miller, in the eighth edition of his Dictionary, gave the name of Warnera to this genus, and Mr. Collinson, as well as Ellis, was anxious that Gardenia should have borne Mr. Warner's name, but it was objected by Linneus that he had ** not publickly contributed to the advancement of Science. This was in 1760, and the Plante Woodfordiensis did not appear till 1771. See Smith's Correspondence of Linnzeus, vol. i., p. 100 to 134. Hydrophyllum canadense. | Not in Catalogue.
