A fimilar inftance lately occurred to me in the wood, bark, and root, of the Zan- toxylum clava Herculis, Lin. (the tooth-ach tree, or japan pepper tree,) every part of which is ftrongly coloured of a mod beautiful yellow ; but having procured fome of it for trial, I could extract but little colour from it, notwithstanding its feeming abundance of tingent matter; and the little which I did extract, was like that of the Berberis, utterly incapable of forming the lead union with any bafis, or of ...refilling the action of air, or of foap, in any degree. The feeds of the BixaOrellana, (growing fpon- taneoufly in different parts of Guiana,) are co- vered with a reddilh pulp, which is collected and fent to Europe in different forms, under the names of annotta, arnotta, and roucou. It is princi- pally employed for dying filk, and fometimes for cotton ; though its colour, by all the ways and means of applying it hitherto difcovered, is fo fugitive, that perhaps it would be better if it were never employed even for dying filk.
