A native of the country of the Medes, whence this plant was brought to Greece during the expedition of Darius. M. arborea, the Cytisus of the ancients, flowers great part of the year, and when sheltered is seldom destitute of flowers. In the open air it begins to flower in April, and continues till December. Those flowers which appear early in summer, will have the seeds ripe in August, or the beginning of September, and the others will ripen in succession. It grows in great plenty in Abruzzo, and many parts of the kingdom of Naples, where the goats feed upon it; and with their milk abundance of cheese is made there. It also abounds in several of the islands in the Archipelago, where the Turks use the wood to make handles for their sabres; and the caloyers, or Greek monks, form their beads of it. In old shrubs, the heart is of a dark color, and hard like ebony.

According to Miller, this shrub bids the fairest of any to be the Cytisus of Virgil, Columella, and the other ancient writers on husbandry; and being celebrated by them as an excellent fodder, has been recommended for cultivation here. But however useful it may be in Candia, Rhodes, Sicily, Abruzzo, and other dry warm countries, yet it will never thrive in England, (where we have also many plants of this leguminous tribe far more succulent than this,) so as to be of any real advantage; for in severe frost it is very subject to be destroyed, or at least so much damaged, as not to recover its former verdure before the middle or end of May; (and even after a mild winter, it will generally appear injured by our cold spring winds, even at that season; so that it cannot be of any use here for early spring fodder.) Besides, the shoots will not bear cutting above once in a summer, and then will not be of any considerable length: and the stems growing very woody, the cutting of it will be very troublesome. Upon the whole, therefore, it is not worth the trial; though in hot, dry, rocky countries, where few other plants will thrive, it may be cultivated to great advantage. But, however unfit Tree Medick may be for use as fodder in England, yet for the beauty of its hoary leaves, abiding all the year, together with its long continuance in flower, it deserves a place in every good garden and plantation, with shrubs of the same growth. (Dict. in loco, and Martyn's Virgil.) M. sativa, Foin de Bourgogne, Fr., Alfalfa, Span., and Lucerne, Eng., (from the Languedoc pâtois Lauserda), is a deep rooting perennial plant, sending up numerous small and tall clover-like shoots, with blue or violet spikes of flowers. It is highly extolled by the Roman writers; it is also of unknown antiquity in old Spain, Italy, and the south of France; is much grown in Persia and Peru, and mown in both countries all the year round. It is mentioned by Hartlib, Blythe, and other early writers, and was tried by Lisle; but it excited little attention till after the publication of Harte's Essays, in 1757. But though it has been so much extolled, it has yet found no great reception in this country. If any good reason can be given for this, it is, that lucern is a less hardy plant than red clover, requires three or four years before it comes to its full growth, and is for these and other reasons ill adapted to enter into general rotations. When the climate and soil suit, perhaps, a field of it may be advantageously sown, adjoining the homestall, to afford early cutting or food for young or sick animals, for which it is said to be well adapted; but though it will produce good crops for eight or ten years, yet from the time the farmer must wait till this crop attains its perfection, and from the care requisite to keep it from grass and weeds, we do not think it is ever likely to come into general culture. There are no varieties of the lucern deserving the notice of a cultivator. What is called the yellow lucern, or Swiss lucern, is the Medicago falcata, a much more hardy and coarser plant, common in several parts of England, but not cultivated any where excepting in some poor soils in Switzerland.

The soil for lucern must be dry, friable, inclining to sand, and with a subsoil not inferior to the surface; unless the soil be good and deep, it is in vain to attempt to cultivate lucern.

The preparation of the soil consists in deep ploughing and minute pulverisation; and, in our opinion, the shortest way to effect this, is to trench it over by the spade to two or three feet in depth, burying a good coat of manure in the middle, or at least one foot from the surface. This is the practice in Guernsey, where lucern is highly prized.

The climate for lucern, as we have already hinted, must be warm and dry; it has been grown in Scotland and Ireland, and might probably do well in the southern counties of the latter country, but in the former it has not been found to answer the commendations of its admirers. The season most proper for sowing lucern, is as early as can be done in the spring months, as in this way the plants may be fully established before the season becomes too hot. If the plants be intended to be transplanted out in the garden method, it will also be the best practice to SOW the seed-bed as early in the spring as the to sow the seed-bed as early in the spring as the frosts will admit, in order that they may be strong, and fit to set out about the beginning of August. The manner of sowing lucern is either broad-cast or in drills, and either with or without an accompanying crop of corn for the first year. Broad-cast, and a very thin crop of barley or other spring corn, is generally, and, in our opinion, very properly preferred.

The quantity of seed, when the broad-cast method is adopted, is said to be from fifteen to twenty pounds per acre, and from eight to twelve if drilled. The seed is paler, larger , and dearer than that of clover; it is generally imported from Holland, and great care should be had to procure it plump and perfectly new, as two years old seed does not come up freely. The same depth of covering as for clover will answer. The after-culture of lucern, sown broad-cast, consists in harrowing, to destroy grass and other weeds; rolling, after the harrowing, to smooth the soil for the scythe, and such occasional top-dressings of manure as the state of the plants may seem to require.

The top-dressings given to lucern may be either of the saline or mixed manures. Ashes are greatly esteemed, and also gypsum and liquid manure of any kind.

The taking of lucern by mowing for soiling, or hay, or by tethering, hurdling, or pasturing, may be considered as the same as for clover. Lucern frequently frequently attains a sufficient growth for the scythe towards the end of April, or beginning of the following month and in soils that are favorable for its culture, will be in a state of readiness for a second cutting in the course of a month or six weeks longer, being capable of undergoing the same operation at nearly similar distances of time during the whole of the summer season. The application of lucern is also the same as of clover. The principal and most advantageous practice, in the application of lucern, is that of soiling horses, neat cattle and hogs; but as a dry fodder, it is also capable of affording much assistance, and as an early food for ewes and lambs, may be of great value in particular cases. All agree in extolling it as food for cows, whether in a green or dried state. The produce of lucern, cut three times in a season, has been stated at from three to five and even eight tons per acre. In soiling, one acre is sufficient for three or four cows during the soiling season, and a quarter of an acre, if the soil be good, for all sorts of large stock, for the same period , or half an acre on a moderate soil.

The nutritive product of lucern, according to Sir H. Davy, is 2-3-tenths per cent., and is to that of the Tt 4 10918 denticuláta W. 10919 muricáta W. 10920 Gerárdi W. 10921 marína W. 10922 Terebéllum W. 10923 tribuloídes W. 10924 rigídula W. toothed cu 1 jn.jl Y prickly cu 1 my.jn Y Gerarde's cu 1 jn.au Y sea cu 1 jn.au Y short-spined cu 1 jn.au Y DIADELPHIA DECANDRIA.

This result does not very well agree with the superior nutritive powers attributed to lucern; and is one proof, among many, how little the analysis of the chemist agrees with the experience of the farmer. To save seed, the lucern may be treated precisely as the red clover, and it is much easier threshed, the grains being contained in small pods, which easily separate under the flail, or a threshing machine, or clover mill. contained in small pods, which easily separate under the flail, or a threshing machine, or clover mill.

It almost wholly consists of plants remarkable either for their beauty or importance otherwise. From the Theobroma the nutritious substance which forms the basis of Chocolate is procured. Melaleuca and its allies are among the most elegant of New Holland plants. The genus Symplocos contains a plant useful as a dye. To Citrus belong the Orange, Lemon, Lime, and all their delicious varieties; and the Loasa, with which the class is here concluded, consists of some of the most ornamental and curious of our garden annuals. By some botanists this class is distributed among others, especially Icosandria and Polyandria. Order 1. DECANDRIA.

From Θεoς, God, and βρωμa, food, in allusion to the excellent nature of its produce. The Mexicans call the beverage obtained from it Chocolatl. (Nieremb.) T. Cacao is a tree which grows in a very handsome form to the height of twelve or sixteen feet; the trunk is upright, and about as high as a man before the head spreads out; the wood is light and of a white color; the bark brownish. Leaves lanceolateoblong, bright green, quite entire; flowers small, reddish, inodorous. Fruits smooth, yellow, red, or of both colors, about three inches in diameter: rind fleshy, near half an inch in thickness, flesh-colored within: pulp whitish, the consistence of butter, separating from the rind in a state of ripeness, and adhering to it only by filaments, which penetrate it and reach to the seeds. Hence it is known when the seeds are ripe, by the rattling of the capsule when it is shaken. The pulp has a sweet and not unpleasant taste, with a slight acidity; it is sucked and eaten raw by the natives. The seeds are about twenty-five in number: when fresh they are of a flesh-color: gathered before they are ripe, they preserve them in sugar, and thus they are very grateful to the palate: they quickly lose their power of vegetation, if taken out of the capsule; but kept in it, they preserve that power for a long time. The tree bears leaves, flowers, and fruit all the year through; but the usual seasons for gathering the fruit are June and December. In two years from the seed it is above three feet high, and spreads its branches, not more than five of which are suffered to remain: before its third year is complete it shows for fruit. A tree yields from two to three pounds of seeds annually. These seeds are remarkably nourishing, and agreeable to most people; which occasions them to be commonly kept in most houses in America, as a necessary part of the provisions of the family: they are generally ground or pounded very fine, a little arnatto added, and made into paste they are much charged with oil, but mix well with milk or water, and are formed into rolls of one pound each.

But as chocolate made abroad cannot by law be imported into this country, consequently all chocolate consumed in Britain ought to be made here. It is composed principally of the kernel of the cocoa, as above mentioned; but the art is in very few hands and we believe that a small portion of soap is added to most British chocolate, in order to cause it to froth when it is dissolved in hot water.

Cocoa is a simple preparation made in Britain, from the cocoa-nut, or from the shells of it, or from a mixture of both. It is considered much easier of digestion than chocolate, and very nourishing.

Parkinson, writing at that time, says, " the , when neither citron nor lemon trees could be preserved any length of time." The orange trees he alludes to were those of Beddington, in Surrey, introduced from Italy by a knight of the noble family of the Carews ( Gibson's edit. of Camb. Brit.), and the first that were brought into England; they were planted in the open ground and placed under a moveable cover during the winter months. It has been said that these trees were raised by Sir Francis Carew, from seeds brought to England by Sir Walter Raleigh: but as such trees would not have readily borne fruit, Professor Martyn thinks it much more likely that they were plants brought from Italy. Bradley says, they always bore fruit in great plenty and perfection; that they grew on the outside of a wall , not nailed against it, but at full liberty to spread; they were fourteen feet high, the girt of the stem twenty-nine inches, and the spreading of the branches one way nine feet, and twelve feet another. These trees, Evelyn informs us, were neglected in by the great frost in 1739-40; they were planted before 1595.

During the latter end of the seventeenth and beginning of the eighteenth centuries, the orange tree was a very fashionable article of growth in conservatories, when there were but few exotics of other sorts kept there.

The plants were procured from Genoa, with stems generally from four to six feet in height; they were planted in large boxes, and were set out during summer to decorate the walks near the house, in the manner still practised at Ve Versailles and the Thuilleries. About the middle of the eighteenth century , when a taste for botany and forcing exotic fruits became general, that for superb orange trees began to decline; many of these large trees have decayed through neglect; and those which are now to be found in the greater number of greenhouses, are generally dwarf plants bearing few fruit, and those of small size. In some places, however, , are the largest in Britain; they are planted in the floor of an immense conservatory, and bear abundantly. It is said that the plants were procured from a wreck on the coast in that quarter, in the time of Henry VII.

At Nuneham, near Oxford, are some fine old trees, planted under a moveable case, sheltered by a north wall. In summer the case is removed, and the ground turfed over, so that the whole resembles a native . In summer the case is removed, and the ground turfed over, so that the whole resembles a native orange grove. At Wormleybury, Hertfordshire, and Shipley Hall, in Derbyshire, are very fine large orange Hertford and lemon trees grown in borders and in boxes. (Hort. Trans. vol. ii. 295 , and iv. 306.) At the Wilderness, Kent, are three trees in boxes, not surpassed by any trees so grown in Europe. At Woodhall, near Hamilton, trees of all the species of Citrus are trained against the back walls of forcing houses, in the manner of peaches, and produce large crops of fruit. In the south of Devonshire, and particularly at Saltcombe, one of the warmest spots in England, may be seen, in a few gardens, orange trees that have withstood the winter in the open air upwards of a hundred , in a few gardens, orange trees that have withstood the winter in the open air upwards of a hundred years. The fruit is as large and fine as any from Portugal. Trees raised from seed, and inoculated on the spot, are found to bear the cold better than trees imported. The common character of the Citrus family is that of low evergreen trees, with ovate or oval-lanceolate, entire or serrated leaves. On the ungrafted trees are often axillary spines. The flowers appear in peduncles, axillary serrated leaves. On the ungrafted trees are often axillary spines. The flowers appear in peduncles, axillary or terminating, and one or many-flowered. The fruits are large berries , round or oblong, and generally of a yellow color. The species seem best distinguished by the petiole, which in the orange and shaddock is winged; in the citron, lemon, and lime, naked. The form of the fruit, although not quite constant, may also serve for a distinction. In the orange and shaddock it is spherical, or rather an oblate spheroid, with a red or orange-colored rind; in the lime, spherical, with a pale rind; in the lemon, oblong, rough, with a nipplelike protuberance at the end; in the citron, oblong, with a very thick rind. The flowers of the citron and lemon have ten stamens, and those of the orange more. and what is a species in this genus; many of the sorts in cultivation are by buds. It is very difficult to determine what is a variety, Dr. Sickler, who spent several years in Italy, and paid great attention to the kinds and culture of the orange, published in 1815, Der Vollkommen Orangerie-Gartner (The complete Orange Gardener), in which he describes above seventy sorts of Citrus. Gallesio (Traité du Genre Citrus, &c. Savonna, 1818.) has given a synopsis of the forty principal sorts cultivated in Italy. The most splendid work on oranges which has yet appeared is the Histoire Naturelle des Orangers, by Risso, of Nice, and Poiteau, of Versailles. (Paris, fol. 1818.) Here 169 sorts are described, and 105 of them figured, Nice, and Poiteau, of Versailles. (Paris, fol. 1818.)

The largest trees are at Sorenta, Terracina, gardenlike culture of the orange, is in the orange-orchards at Nervi, Monaco, and other places in the neighbourhood of Genoa. At Nervi are also the orange nurseries which may be said to supply all Europe with trees ; they are, in general, wretchedly cultivated, and the stocks inoculated in the most unscientific manner; but the fine climate, strong clavev soil, and abundant manurings, supply in a great degree the nicer practices ORDER II.

There the names of varieties vary as much as those of gooseberries do in England; but from upwards of 180 names, not above 40 distinct sorts can be procured. Good plants of the Maltese and other varieties of orange may be procured from Malta; and some sorts also from Lisbon. From the nurseries at Paris about thirty sorts may be obtained, much smaller plants than those from the other places named, but more scientifically grafted or inoculated. The catalogues of London nurserymen enumerate above thirty varieties of oranges, twelve of lemons, and several varieties of the other species; the plants are partly Genoese, partly French, and partly propagated here.

The C. aurantium, the common orange; orange, Fr., pomoranze, Ger., and arancio, Ital., is a middle-sized evergreen tree, with a greenish-brown bark; and, in its wild state, with prickly branches. The fruit is nearly round, from two to three inches in diameter, and of a gold color. It is now cultivated in most countries of Europe; in the open air in Italy and Spain; and in conservatories or greenhouses in Britain and the north of Europe.

The two principal varieties are the sweet or China orange, the orange douce of the French, and porto-gallo or poma de sino of the Italians; and the bitter or Seville, the bigarade of the French, and arancio volgaro of the Italians. The Maltese orange, distinguished by its red pulp, is also a noted and much-esteemed sort. The box-leaved, willow-leaved, and some others, are cultivated more as curious varieties than for their fruit. C. Medica, the citron, citron, Fr., citronier, Ger., and cedrate, Ital., in its wild state grows to the height of about eight feet, erect and prickly, with long reclining branches. The leaves are ovate, oblong, alternate, subserrate, smooth, pale green. The fruit or berry is half a foot in length, ovate, with a protuberance at the lip. There are two rinds, the outer thin, with innumerable miliary glands, full of a most fragrant oil; the inner thick, white, and fungous.

In China they have a variety of the C. Medica, of very considerable size, quite solid, with scarcely any pulp or cells, and divided at the end into five or more long round lobes, on which account it is called Phat thu, or finger-orange. The fruit is laid upon fine porcelain vessels in the sitting-rooms of the Chinese, for the sake of its agreeable perfume.

Dr. Sickler enumerates only about a dozen citrons and citronates as grown in Italy. The French nurseries have nearly twenty names in their lists. In England six are cultivated for sale. C. Limonum, the lemon; limon, Fr., limonier, Ger., and limone, Ital., has the fruit less knobbed at the extremities, is rather longer and more irregular, and the skin is thinner than in the citron; the wood is more knotty, and the bark rougher.

Dr. Sickler enumerates twenty-eight varieties as grown in Italy. The French, according to Ville Hervé have eleven sorts; in the London nurseries are cultivated twelve. C. Limetta, the lime, by some esteemed a variety of the C. Medica, lime, Fr., Ital., and Ger., grows to the height of about eight feet, with a crooked trunk, and many diffused branches, es, with prickles. The leaves are ovate lanceolate, almost quite entire. Berry an inch and a half in diameter, almost globular, with a protuberance at the top; the surface regular, shining, greenish-yellow, with a very odorous rind, enclosing a very acid juice.

The French have two sorts of lime; and, according to Dr. Sickler, the Italians have four varieties; five kinds are grown in the London nurseries.

C. decumana, the shaddock, orange pampelmouse, Fr., arancio massimo, Ital., is above the middle size, with spreading prickly branches. The leaves are ovate, subacute, seldom obtuse; the petioles are cordate, winged; the wings as broad as the leaves. The berry spheroidal, frequently retuse at each end, of an even surface, and greenish-yellow color; pulp red or white; juice sweet or acid; rind white, thick, fungous, and bitter. Thunberg says, the fruit in Japan grows to the size of a child's head, and Dr. Sickler states its weight as fourteen pounds, and its diameter as from seven to eight inches. It is a native of China and Japan, and was brought to the West Indies by Captain Shaddock, from whom it has derived its name. The Italians, according to Dr. Sickler, have one, and the French, according to the Nouveau Cours, &c., four sorts. Four are grown in the English nurseries. All the sorts may be propagated by seeds, cuttings, layers, and grafting, or inoculation. The object of raising plants from seed is either to obtain new varieties or stocks for grafting. To attempt raising new varieties in Britain will in general be found a tedious process, as the trees do not even in Italy show fruit for six or eight years or more; and there is now in the botanic garden at Toulon, a large handsome tree, of twenty-five years' growth, which in 1819 had not blossomed. Shaddock stocks are the strongest, and next to these the citron. Budding and grafting are performed at the usual season; but these operations may be performed at any time when the sap is in motion.

Henderson, of Woodhall, a most superior cultivator of the Citrus tribe, considers cuttings as the quickest mode of getting plants, and has practised it for thirty-seven years past: his directions are as follows: "Take the strongest young shoots, and also a quantity of the two years old shoots; these may be cut into lengths from nine inches to eighteen inches. Take the leaves off the lower part of each cutting to the extent of about five inches, allowing the leaves above that to remain untouched: then cut right across, under an eye; and make a small incision in an angular direction on the bottom of the cutting. When the cuttings are thus prepared, take a pot, and fill it with sand; size the cuttings, so that the short ones may be all together, and those that are taller in a different pot. Then, with a small dibble, plant them about five inches deep in the sand, and give them a good watering overhead, to settle the sand about them. Let them stand a day or two 10981 pictórius H.
