AVIGNON-Berry, called also, French Berry, is the Fruit of a Shrub, by some Authors called Licium; growing plentifully near Avignon, etc. in France. See BERRY. The Berry is somewhat less than a Pea; its Colour Green, approaching towards a Yellow; of an astringent and bitter Taste.—It is much used by the Dyers who stain a yellow Colour with it; and by the Painters, who make a fine golden Yellow of it. See YELLOW.
