Metrosideros. From μητρa, the heart of a tree, and σiδηρov, iron, in allusion to the hardness of the wood. One species (M. vera) is called iron wood. The Chinese make their rudders and anchors of it; and among the Japanese it is so scarce and valuable that it is only allowed to be manufactured in the service of their king. The bark is used as a remedy for fluor albus and diarrhea, being mixed with Pinang, and a small quantity of cloves and nutmegs. This is a genus distinguished at sight by the peculiar character of the shrubs of Australasia, with both sides of the leaf alike. M. hispida, lanceolata, and speciosa, are beautiful plants, but not free flowerers. They are rather difficult to strike. Sweet recommends "ripened wood planted under a bell-glass in sand." 1118. Psidium. One of the Greek names of the Pomegranate. In English it is called Guava, a corruption of the American name Guayaba. Most of the species are cultivated in the tropics for their fruit, which also ripens freely in this country, though it is of little merit. P. pyriferum bears fruit the size of a hen's egg, yellowish, with a peculiar smell. The rind is brittle and fleshy; pulp rather firm, full of bony seeds, flesh colored, sweet, aromatic, and pleasant. In the West Indies it is eaten with avidity, not only by the natives, but by Europeans: with those who are not accustomed to it, the Guava is apt to occasion a slight flux; but Jacquin affirms, that when he has been thirsty on a journey he has eaten of it to satiety without suffering any harm. It is eaten raw in the dessert, but the seeds are scarcely separable. It is also preserved with sugar. P. pomiferum has fruit like a pomegranate, which is seldom eaten, though eatable, and being astringent is counted strengthening for the stomach. P. Cattleianum is reckoned one of the best of the Guavas; the fruit is of a fine deep claret color, and the pulp in consistence and flavor bears a considerable resemblance to the strawberry. All the species are of easy culture in light and rather rich loam, and are increased readily by seeds, layers, or cuttings in sand under a hand-glass.

Eugenia. In honor of Prince Eugene of Savoy, who was a protector and encourager of botany, and possessed a botanic garden. Some of the species bear edible fruits: that of E. malaccensis is ovate, an inch and a half in diameter, flesh smelling like the rose, agreeable to the taste, and wholesome. It is generally cultivated between the tropics. E. Jambos bears smaller fruit, edible, but not so much esteemed; it is nevertheless excellent, resembling in appearance and flavor a Brussels apricot, and produced in great abundance in the stove. All the species grow freely in two-thirds loam and one-third peat, and flower abundantly when the plants are of a good size. Ripened cuttings strike root freely in sand under a hand-glass. 1120. Caryophyllus. The Arabs, who have been acquainted from all antiquity with the clove, called it qarunfel, which the Greeks altered into Caryophyllon. Giroflier, Fr. The fruit is thought to bear some resemblance to a nail, and hence is called clove, clou, Fr., Chiode, Ital., Clavo, Span., Naghel, Ger. and Dutch. The whole tree is aromatic, and the fruit or clove is considered as one of the hottest and most acrid substances of the aromatic class, and as such is often used, not only internally, but externally, as a stimulant; as in paralytic cases for example, in which the oil of cloves has been administered to advantage: it is also made use of in the tooth ache, in which it often succeeds in suddenly abating and subduing the pain. A tincture of cloves in rectified spirit is kept in the shops, as well as the essential oil, which latter is perhaps seldom free from sophistication. For culinary purposes, the uses of cloves are innumerable. The Dutch, who had for a long time the monopoly of the spice trade, prevented while they could the tree from being removed from the Moluccas and other islands, where it grows naturally; but the French now cultivate it in Cayenne and St. Domingo. There are a few specimens in the British gardens. It grows freely in loam and peat, and ripened cuttings are not difficult to root in sand, in moist heat under a hand-glass. 1121. Myrtus. From μύρov, perfume. Muρτoς of the Greeks. Le Mirte, Fr., Myrte, Ger., Myrtus, Dutch, Mirto, Ital. and Span., Myrta, Portug., Myrter, Dan. and Myrten, Swed.

It was a great favorite among the ancients, for its elegance, and its evergreen sweet leaves. It was sacred to Venus, either on this account, or perhaps because it flourishes most in the neighbourhood of the sea. Myrtle-wreaths adorned the brows of bloodless victors, and were the symbol of authority for magistrates at Athens. Both branches and berries were put into wine, and the latter were used in the cookery of the ancients. The myrtle was also one of their medicinal plants. All parts of it are astringent, but it is discarded from modern practice. M. coriacea, sometimes called wild cinnamon, is a most elegant tree, with a handsome ash-colored straight trunk, and pyramidal head. It grows slowly, and flowers late twice a year In old trees, the bark becomes white, and hangs down in shreds which have an aromatic quality. The timber is red, very hard, and used in mill-work. The berries, which are the size of peas, and of an agreeable aromatic smell and taste, are used in culinary purposes. 1122. Calyptranthes. From κaλuπτρov, a lid, and avθoς, a flower, in allusion to the peculiar manner in which the segments of the calyx, being grown together, fall off. Zuzygium, is so called from σuζuγoς, coupled, in allusion to the manner in which the branches, and leaves are united by pairs. C. Jambolana, frequently called the Java plum, bears a black esculent berry. Cuttings of this genus, Sweet observes, " do not strike freely; ripened ones strike best in sand under a bell-glass; but the plants root best from layers." (Bot. Cult. 34.) 1123. Pimenta. A genus readily distinguishable from Myrtus by the structure of its ovarium. It is a handsome tree, common in the hilly parts of the north side of Jamaica. The flowers are without shew, and are succeeded by spherical purple berries crowned with a persistent calyx: they are called Jamaica pepper or all-spice, from their taste being thought to resemble a composition of all other spices. The berries are gathered before being ripe, and are carefully dried on mats or terraced floors in the shade. In ten or twelve ORDER I.

Some kiln-dry them by which the same object is sooner effected. The berries have an agreeable aromatic subastringent taste, resembling that of a mixture of cinnamon, cloves, and nutmegs, with the warm pungent taste of the cloves; qualities which reside chiefly in the cortical part of the dried berry, and are better extracted by a watery infusion, than by spirit or distillation. They are much used in the kitchen, and also by the druggists to cover the disagreeable taste of other remedies, or to give them warmth. An oil is obtained by distillation which is said to be nearly equal to that of oil of cloves, and sometimes substituted for it. 1124. Olynthia. So named from oλuvθoς, a little fig or berry. A genus separated from Myrtus on account of the singular manner in which all the parts of the seed are consolidated. A small stove plant common in collections. 1125. Stravadium. The Malabar name of this plant is Tsjera samstravadi, from which Stravadium has been contrived. A fine tree with racemose flowers, and large, four-cornered, oblong fruit. A delicate stove plant rarely seen. 1126. Eucalyptus. From ɛv, well, and κaλuπτω, to cover as with a lid; a name, therefore, with the same meaning as Calyptranthes, No. 1122. This genus consists of the loftiest timber trees of New Holland. Botanists knowing them principally from dried specimens, their respective heights cannot be stated correctly. .

They are all of the tallest habit, and soon grow beyond the limits of our stoves. In Van Dieman's Island a Van Dieman's Island a manufactory has been established for the preparation of extract of tannin from the bark of various species of Eucalyptus. A considerable quantity of the substance has been imported into England recently, and it is said to have been found by the tanners to be twice as powerful in its operation as oak-bark. E. resinifera produces a gum resin something like the Kino of druggists (obtained from a species of Pterocarpus), and for all medical purposes full as efficacious. All the species, Sweet observes, " are fine plants for a large conservatory, as they grow very fast, and are Ee 2 7002 paniculáta L. T. 7003 cornúta Lab. 7004 reticuláta Link. 7005 longifólia Link.

(Bot. Cult. 189.) 1127. Punica. This fruit was called by the ancients Malum Punicum, Carthaginian apple; because, as Pliny tells us, the tree was first known to grow in the vicinity of Carthage. Hence has the term Punica been conus, the tree was first known to grow in the vicinity of Carthage. Hence has the term Punica been constructed. P. nana has very small fruit and flowers, and is used in the West Indies as a hedge-plant, as P. Granatum (from granum, grain, on account of the numerous grains of its fruit) is in the south of France and in Italy. The latter, in its wild state, is a thorny bush not unlike our hawthorn: the flowers have a fine appearance, and the fruit is very ornamental. It will produce fruit, trained against a south wall, in many parts of England; and under a glass-case, or against a flued wall, it is probable, the fruit might be as highly flavored as that imported from Genoa and Leghorn.

The flowers come out at the ends of the branches, singly, or three and four together; and, therefore , in pruning, care must be had to bring into action only the strongest buds. For this purpose, all the weak shoots should be cut out, and the stronger ones shortened, so as to produce bearing-shoots over the whole tree. The best soil is a rich strong loam.

The double-flowering varieties are to be treated in the same manner, and are highly ornamental. 1128. Amygdalus. The Greek name of the almond. The species are fruit-trees, or ornamental trees and shrubs, both much esteemed for the gay color and early appearance of their flowers. A. Persica, the peach , both much esteemed for the gay color and early appearance of their flowers. A. Persica, the peach and nectarine, bears the most exquisitely delicious of European fruits; it is more gratifying to the palate by its mass of juicy pulp than the grape, and more delicate than the melon. Some, however, prefer the grape and melon of juicy pulp than the grape, and more delicate than the melon. Some, however, prefer the grape and melon to the peach and nectarine; but the most delicate of taste consider the latter as surpassed only by the pine-apple. The varieties of peach and nectarine are numerous, and by raising from seed might easily be rendered innumerable. The best varieties have been raised in France, at Montreuil, a village of peach growers for the Paris market. Some good varieties have been raised in England by Mr. Knight, and other members of the Horticultural Society. The peach, to attain its proper flavor, must be protected by glass during the spring and earlier summer months, and exposed to the direct influence of the weather during the ripening process. Ripened under glass, unless very liberal supplies of air are given, the flavor will be very inferior. Mr. Knight considers that the direct rays of the sun (without the intervention of glass) are of great advantage to the proper ripening, and essential to the coloring of the peach.

Linnæus divides the A. Persica into two varieties; that with downy fruit, or the peach, and that with smooth fruit, or the nectarine. There are various instances on record (Hort. Trans. vol. i. p. 103.) of both fruits growing , or the nectarine. There are various instances on record (Hort. Trans. vol. i. p. 103.) of both fruits growing on the same tree, even on the same branch; and one case has occurred of a single fruit partaking of the nature of both. The French consider them as one fruit, arranging them in four divisions; the péches, or free-stone peaches, the flesh of whose fruit separates readily from the skin and the stone; the péches lisses, or free-stone nectarines, or free-stone smooth peaches; the pavies, or cling-stone peaches, whose flesh is firm, and adheres ORDER I.

Knight. (Hort. Trans. iii. 1.) The double-blossomed peach is one of the most ornamental of spring-flowering trees; its blossoms appear about three weeks later than those of the common peach .

A. communis and amara, and especially the former, are employed as ornamental trees in front of shrubberies, and in suburban gardens. In the south of France, Italy, Spain, and different parts of the Levant, they are cultivated for their fruit. In France they have above a dozen species or varieties, besides a hybrid called the almondpeach. (See Duhamel.) The common and bitter almond are only to be distinguished by the taste of the kernels of their fruit. The Jordan almonds, which come from Malaga, are the best sweet almonds brought to England; the bitter come chiefly from Magadore. The bitter cuticle of almonds is taken off by immersion boiling bitter cuticle of almonds is taken off by immersion in boiling water. The almond eaten as food is not very digestible, and requires to be well masticated. Robertson (Hort. Trans. iii. 382.) and various botanists consider the peach and almond as one species. Four distinguished and ingenious attempts have been made to class the varieties of peaches and nectarines by the leaf and flower as well as the fruit: the first is by Poiteau, in the Bon Jardinier; the next by Count Lelieur, in his Pomone Française; the third by Robertson , nurseryman, of Kilkenny, whose arrangement is founded on the glands of the leaves; and the fourth, and most important, by Mr. George Lindley, in the fifth volume of the Horticultural Society's Transactions . The latter writer has, in a peculiarly distinct manner, arranged no fewer than 155 sorts of peaches and nectarines in well defined divisions or sections.

The bitter almond contains less fixed oil, than the sweet almond, and a portion of prussic acid or The acid, upon which its narcotic power is supposed to depend. This variety is said distilled to operate water to depend. This variety is said to operate as a poison on dogs and some other animals, but not generally on the human species. The distilled water a poison on not less deleterious than that of laurel water on the human frame. It produces vertigo, exerts an action tinnitis aurium, dizziness of sight, and vomiting, when taken to the extent of thirty follows. drops only In , when taken to the extent of thirty drops only; and a drachm of it has killed a stout dog . When a large doze is taken, death almost instantly follows. In order to counteract its poisonous effects recourse is had to diffusibles, as brandy and ammonia; or three or four spoonfuls of oil of turpentine may be given at intervals of half an hour. The fixed oil, which both varieties of the almond yield by expression in large quantity, is insipid and inodorous when heat has not been employed.

Sweet almonds are used more as food than as medicine, but they afford little nourishment. Heartburn is said to be relieved by eating six or eight of them decorticated. When triturated with water, milky mixtures or emulsions are formed; and they are also used in pharmacy for assisting, by trituration, the combination of substances, such as camphor and the resins with water. Bitter almonds are scarcely ever used medicinally. (London Dispensatory, 151.) A. nana and pumila are very ornamental shrubs, both in their double and single varieties. Ee3 1129. PRU'NUS. W.

Prunus. The origin of this name is wholly unknown. The Greeks called it πρoύvη, and the Latins prunus. From this genus have been obtained the principal characters of that section of the natural order Rowhich is curiously and chemically known by the presence of Prussic acid all in the species, and in all their parts. P. Padus (a name of Theophrastus), t Theophrastus), the bird-cherry, is an ornamental tree, by its purple bark, leafy bunches of white flowers, and berries successively green, red, and black. It is common in the native woods of Scotland and Sweden, and in both countries the berries are infused in spirits in order to give them an agreeable flavor. The fruit is nauseous to the taste, though greedily eaten by birds. The bark is used by the Finlanders to cure venereal complaints, and also with success by regular practitioners in Stockholm for the same purpose. (Stockholm Acts.) The tree is very leafy, and dislikes a wet soil; but bears lopping as copsewood. The wood is beautifully veined, and used for cabinet work in France, as is that of P. virginiana in America.

P. rubra greatly resembles P. Padus. P. caroliniana is an imperfect evergreen. P. Lauro-cerasus is one of our most popular evergreens. It was first brought from Constantinople to Holland in 1576; the first we read of in England was one at Highgate, in the garden of Mr. James Cole, a merchant in 1576; the first we read of in England was one at Highgate, in the garden of Mr. James Cole, a merchant of London, who, as Parkinson informs us, used to cover it in winter with a blanket. In less than half a century afterwards (1688), Ray informs us, the laurel was common in English gardens. It is now as universal in shrubberies as the rose. The kernel-like flavor of the fresh leaves has led to their use in flavoring custards and other culinary preparations ; but as these leaves are poisonous, they ought to be used with caution. To brute animals the effect of the distilled water of laurel leaves is almost instant death; and two women in Dublin, and Sir T. Boughton in England, have been poisoned by it.

P. lusitanica is a most beautiful evergreen shrub, nearly as universal as the lauro-cerasus. It was brought to England from Portugal, but does not appear to be a native of that country; probably of Madeira or some England from Portugal , but does not appear to be a native of that country; probably of Madeira or some other islands possessed by the Portuguese in the sixteenth or seventeenth centuries.

P. Mahaleb (Mahhaleb the Arabic name) flowers profusely, and disperses an odor resembling that of Clematis for a considerable distance around. Its fruit is round, shining black, and so hard that it has been bored for beads by the catholics. The wood is perfumed and used by the French in cabinet-work, especially in the village of St. Lucie, near Commercy, whence, among the French, the plant has obtained the name of Bois de St. Lucie.

P. Cerasus, the cultivated cherry, is by some considered a distinct species, and by others only a variety of P. avium, the gean or wild black cherry. Lucullus is said to have first introduced the cultivated cherry to avium, the gean or wild black cherry . Lucullus is said to have first introduced the cultivated cherry to Italy, in 73 A. C. from a town in Pontus in Asia, called Cerasus, whence its specific name, and it was introduced to Britain 120 years afterwards. Many suppose that the cherries introduced by the Romans into Britain were lost, and that they were reintroduced in the time of Henry VIII. by Richard Haines, the fruiterer to that monarch. But though we have no proof that cherries were in England at the time of the Norman conquest, or for some centuries after it; yet Warton has proved, by a quotation from Lidgate, a poet who wrote about for some centuries after it; yet Warton has proved, by a quotation from Lidgate, a poet who wrote about ORDER I.

The tree is now very generally cultivated both as a wall and standard fruit, and has been forced for upwards of two centuries.

The Romans had eight varieties of cherry: in the British gardens are upwards of forty sorts. The French divide their cherries into griottes, or tender-fleshed bigarreaux, or hard-fleshed; and guignes, or small fruits. The fruit of many varieties is somewhat heart-shaped, hence the very general cognomen; why some sorts are called dukes is not as obvious. The Morello cherry is very distinct from the other varieties, bearing almost exclusively on the preceding year's wood, and the pulp of the fruit having the consistence and flavor of from the having the consistence and flavor of the Morel, whence the name. Cherries are grafted or budded on seedlings from cherry-stones, or better the from cherry-stones, or better from seedlings of the wild cherry. For dwarfing, they are worked on the bird cherry or perfumed cherry the latter is preferred in Holland.

Cherry trees are very ornamental in shrubberies and woods, and valuable as encouraging the different species of thrush. The gum of cherry trees is eatable, and equal to that of gum arabic; the wood is hard and tough, and used by the turner and cabinet maker. Prunus Pseudo-Cerasus, the Chinese cherry, is of recent introduction, and most valuable on account of its bearing an excellent fruit, and producing it abundantly in a forcing-house. P. avium, the gean, guigne, Fr., attains a large size, and its timber is of considerable value: the black corone cherry is supposed to be an improved variety of it , as are the different geans.

P. domestica is generally considered the original of the plum tree, Prune, Fr., Pflaumen, men, Ger., and Prugno, Ital. Many, however, conjecture that P. insititia, spinosa, and domestica, are the same species. There are several sorts of plums found wild in Britain, independently of the sloe, such as the bullace, damson, muscle, and winesour. The plum is said to love a lofty exposure , and to be favorable to the growth of grass under it. The bark dyes yellow, the wood is used in turnery , and the dried fruit or prune is formed into electuaries and gentle purgatives. Prunes were originally brought from Damascus, whence their name of damask, but are now chiefly imported from France.

There are a great many varieties of the plum in France, and in British gardens nearly a hundred sorts. By far the best dessert plum is the greengage, Reine Claude, Fr. , Regina Claudio, Ital. It is well known throughout Europe, and perfectly distinct from every other variety. The damson is the best baking plum, and the winesour the best for sweetmeats. Plums are generally grafted or budded on muscle or damson stocks.

Prunus Armeniaca, Abricot, Fr., Abricosenbaum, Ger., Albicocco, Ital., Albarcoque, Portug. is a fruit tree next in esteem to the peach. From its trivial name, it is generally supposed to have originated in tree Armenia, but Regnier and Sickler assign it a parallel between the Niger and the Atlas; and Pallas with states the Niger and the Atlas; and Pallas states it to be a native of the whole of the Caucasus; the mountains there, to the top, being covered the it, there, to the top, being covered with it, Thunberg describes it as a very large, spreading, branchy tree in Japan. Grossier says, that it covers doubletree in Japan. Grossier says, that it covers the barren mountains to the west of Pekin, that the Chinese have a great many varieties of the tree double- E ICOSANDRIA MONOGYNIA.

It appears from Turner's Herbal, that the apricot was cultivated here in 1562; and in Hackluyt's Remembrancer, 1582, it is affirmed, that the apricot was procured out of Italy by Wolfe, a French priest, gardener to Henry VIII. The fruit seems to have been known in Italy in the time of Dioscorides, under the of to Berkoch; whence the Tuscan, Bacoche or Albicocco, and the English Apricock; or, as Professor Martyn observes, a tree when first introduced, might have been called a præcox, or early fruit; and gardeners, taking the article a for the first syllable of the word, might easily have corrupted it to apricocks. The orthography seems to have been finally changed to apricot about the end of the last century.

There are fifteen or twenty excellent varieties of apricot, besides the peach apricot, a large fruit supposed trained to a hybrid between a peach and an apricot. The trees are generally budded on plum stocks, and always against walls. Apricots do not force freely. be a hybrid between a peach and an apricot.

C. Icaco (the West Indian name) bears flowers and fruit not unlike the plum, which is sold in the markets of the West Indies, and eaten both raw and preserved. Both species grow well in a sandy loam.

Large cuttings root best, taken off at a joint, and planted thinly in a pot of sand, without having their leaves injured, and a hand-glass placed over them. (Bot. Cult. 39.) 1131. Mespilus. In Greek μεσπiλη, from μεσoς, half, and πiλoς, bullet; the fruit resembling half a bullet or round ball. In French it is called nefle, from the Celtic naff, which also signifies truncate. M. Germanica, bears a turbinated berry, which is eaten raw in a state of incipient decay. two trees are generally introduced in shrubberies or in complete orchards. besides the wild sort; what is called the Dutch medlar is reckoned the best.

From the Celtic peren, the Anglo-Saxons made pere, the English, pear, the French, poire, and the Latins, pyrus, or for the fruit, pyrum. From the Celtic word api, which also signified a fruit resembling an apple, the Greeks obtained aπioς, the English, apple, the Germans, apfel. To this day the French distinguish a tribe of small fruited apples by the name api. P. malus, Pomme, Fr., Apfel, Ger., and Pomo, Ital., is the most popular of British fruits.

The Romans had twenty-two varieties, and there are now several hundreds in Britain and France, and some excellent sorts from America. They are usually divided into dessert, baking, and cyder fruits; the first high flavored, the second such as fall or become mellow in baking or boiling, and the third austere, and generally fruits of small size. Besides this division, apples are austere, and generally fruits of small size. Besides this division, apples are classed as pippins or seedlings, pearmains or somewhat pear-shaped fruits, rennets or queens, specked fruits pearmains or somewhat pear-shaped fruits, rennets or queens, specked fruits, calvilles or white-skinned fruits, russets or brown fruits, codlings or falling fruits, and burknots, which grow readily by cuttings. Most sorts of apple form ugly trees as standards, but are otherwise very ornamental sorts of apple form ugly trees as standards, but are otherwise very ornamental in shrubberries from their blossoms. The crabs, and especially the varieties obtained from the Siberian crab, form much the handsomest heads, and have also more brilliant blossoms. The apple may be propagated by layers, and many sorts by cuttings ; but the usual mode is by grafting on crab-stocks, and for dwarfing on stocks of the paradise apple.

P. communis, Poirier, Fr., Birnbaum, Ger., and Pero, Ital., is a fruit-tree next in popularity and value to the apple tree. It is a greatly superior dessert fruit, but not so valuable for culinary purposes and the press. apple tree. It is a greatly superior dessert fruit, but not so valuable for culinary purposes and the press.

There are fewer good sorts of pears, in proportion to the number of current varieties, than of apples; but a few, as the Jargonelles, Bergamots, Beurrées, Chaumontelles, &c. are most exquisite dessert fruits, and are much easier of digestion than the apple. It arrives in greater perfection in France and the north of Italy than in England. The Chaumontelles of Guernsey are in high repute, as are the St. Germain's and other sorts of Picardy, and the Beurrées of Milan. The Romans had thirty-six varieties, and there are many hundreds in the French and British nurseries, most of them good for little. Professor Van Mons, of Brussels, and M. Duquessie, of Mons, fruited about 8000 seedling pears, from which they obtained nearly 800 sorts worth cultivating. (Neill's Hort. Tour.) The varieties are divided into dessert and baking fruits; and also into melting or butter pears, beurrées, Fr., breaking pears, crevers, Fr., and perry, poirée, Fr., fruits. The tree is grafted on seedlings of the same species, and for dwarfing and precocity on the quince. It is a much handsomer upright growing tree than the apple, more durable, and its wood hard and valuable for the turner and millwright; but its blossoms being white, are less shewy than those of the apple. P. domestica, and the other species of service are very ornamental trees; their leaves are mostly white ORDER II.

Of P. domestica there are two varieties, the pear and apple-shaped, cultivated in some parts of France and near Genoa for their fruits. Those like the medlar and quince are not eaten till in a state of incipient decay. There are but few of the true service in English gardens, but the P. hybrida and pinnatifida are common, and their fruit, which resembles that of the mountain ash, is sometimes made use of. P. aucuparia and Americana are handsome trees for shrubberies, the former very popular in suburban gardens. 1134. Cydonia. So called from being native of the ancient town Cydon in the Island of Crete; or perhaps it may be a corruption of malus-cotonea, by which the Latins designate the fruit . C. vulgaris is a deformed low tree, sometimes cultivated for its fruit, which is a pome with a persisting calyx like the medlar. It is used as a marmalade for flavoring apple-tarts. It prefers moist loam, and is raised by layers. It is most in use, however, as a stock for the pear. C. japonica is a beautiful low bush, remarkable for the brilliancy of its blossoms, which vary from the richest scarlet to the most delicate blush color. It is hardy, and well adapted for single plants, upon grass, or for forming ornamental hedges in flower gardens. 1135. Photinia. So named, we believe, from φως φωτoς, light, in allusion to the lucid surface of the leaves of the species. P. serrulata and arbutifolia are elegant shrubs, and nearly hardy. The latter succeeds perfectly against a south wall. 1136. Raphiolepis. From ρaφiς, a needle, and λεπiς, a scale, in allusion to the numerous, subulate, persistent bracteæ, which are mixed among the racemes of flowers. Pretty Chinese small shrubs, formerly known under the collective name of Cratægus indica. 1137. Eriobotrya. From ερiov, wool, and βoτρuς, a bunch of grapes, in allusion to the woolliness of its raceme. This genus is excellently characterized by the structure of its seed, of which the radicula is retracted within the cotyledons, not exserted as in all the other genera of Pomaceæ. E. Japonica produces an agreeable fruit about the size of a gooseberry, of a fine yellow color, and, according to Sir Joseph Banks, as good as the mango. To ripen it with flavor, it requires the temperature of the stove, and comes into use in March. It may be grafted on any species of the genus, or on the hawthorn. oval-leaved ICOSANDRIA DI-PENTAGYNIA. 1138. AMELAN CHIER. Lindl. 7119 vulgáris Lindl.
