Patrick Browne : The Civil and Natural History of Jamaica

'Browne, in his "History of Jamaica" mentions three species whose roots, he says, are used to dye a brown colour; and Rumphius says of his Bancudus angustifolia, which is very nearly allied to our nono, that it is used by the inhabitants of the East Indian Islands as a fixing drug for the colour of red, with which he says it particularly agrees.'

Century: 1700-1799     Reader/Listener/Group: Joseph Banks      Print: Book
