英语词汇lawsonia的起源、历史背景-英语词源词典

Lawsonia. Linnaeus probably named Lawsonia inermis, the mignonette tree and the source of the dye henna, for John Law- son, a traveler in North Carolina said to have been burned alive by Indians. Lawson came to America from England in 1700 and traveled about a thousand miles through unexplored terri- tory, recording his observations of native flora and fauna in his A New Voyage to Carolina (1709). A founder of Bath and New Bern, North Carolina, he was appointed the state’s surveyor general in 1708, but was captured and put to death in the Tus- carora uprising three years later. Whether Linnaeus related red men and death by fire to the red dyestuff taken from the eastern tree’s leaves is unknown, though not impossible. At least one authority, however, claims that the Swedish botanist named the plant for a Dr. Isaac Lawson, a Scottish botanist who published an account of a voyage to Carolina in 1709.
