From πῶμa, a lid, and δεῤῥiς, a skin, on account of the membranous lid with which the cells of the capsule are covered. New Holland shrubs, with the habit of Ceanothus, from which they are distinguishable only by their fruit. Cuttings root freely in sand under a hand-glass. 513. Mangifera. From Manga or Manghos, the vernacular name of the fruit, and fero, to bear. This is a large spreading tree, bearing a fruit in great estimation in the East. The wood is brittle, brown, and used only for indifferent works. The leaves are seven or eight inches long, and two or more broad, lanceolate, entire, of a shining green, and sweet resinous smell. The flowers are produced in loose bunches at the ends of the branches. The fruit is a berried drupe, large, flattened like a lens, kidney-shaped; the flesh soft and pulpy, like a damascene plum; the shell almost kidney-shaped, of a leathery crustaceous substance, and onecelled. This fruit, when fully ripe, is yellow and reddish, replete with a fine agreeable juice; some are full of fibres, and the juice runs out of these on cutting, or with a little handling; but those which have few or no fibres are much the finest; they cut like an apple, but are more juicy, and some are as big as a large man's fist. It is esteemed a very wholesome fruit, and, except very fine pine-apples, is preferable to any fruit in India; gentlemen there eat little other fruit in the hot months; but if no wine be drank with it, the Mango is apt to throw out troublesome boils, at least with new comers, which are, however, conducive to health. In Europe we have only the unripe fruit brought over in pickle. Loureiro remarks, that there are many varieties, differing chiefly in the figure, size, color, and taste of the fruit, as apples and pears do in Europe. Retzius, on the contrary, affirms, that there are certainly several distinct species; the number of stamens in some being double; the racemes in others compound; the fruit kidneyshaped, globular, fleshy, almost juiceless, &c. According to Sweet, "the Mango ripens fruit in this country, when the plants are of a good size. Sandy loam, or a mixture of loam and peat, is most suitable to it, and the pots should be well drained, as the plants are apt to get sodden with too much water. Fresh seeds from the West Indies vegetate freely. The plant may also be increased from cuttings, which root best in sand under a hand-glass." (Bot. Cult. 77.) Knight, Hallet, and some other horticulturists are at present cultivating this tree with a view to its fruit. Knight recommends for such trees, training the shoots downwards, and at no great distance from the glass. There are trees in the garden of Earl Powis which must bear very soon. 514. Schrebera. Named after John Chr. Daniel Schreber, a German botanist, chiefly known by an edition of ORDER I.

Billardiera. Named in honor of Jacques Julien Labillardiére, a French botanist, who visited Syria, and afterwards New Holland, in D'Entrecasteaux's expedition. His reputation as a botanist was almost annihilated by the Prodromus Novæ Hollandiæ of Brown. The species of this genus are desirable as climbers for a conservatory, especially B. longiflora, which is a fast grower and an abundant flowerer; and when in fruit, its fine blue berries make a handsome appearance. They thrive well in an equal portion of loam and peat; and cuttings root readily in sand under a bell-glass: they may also be raised from seeds, which are produced in abundance. (Bot. Cult. 149.) 516. Elæodendrum. From ελaia, an olive, and δεvδρov, a tree; a tree resembling an olive. E. argam furnishes an oil by expression from the fruit as in the common olive: it is used at table by the Moors, and in various works by Europeans. The tree is rather tender, and requires protection during winter. E. australe, and the stove species, "grow freely in a mixture of loam and peat; and ripened cuttings will soon root in sand under a hand-glass." (Sweet.) 517. Diosma. From δioς, divine, and oσμη, smell; that is to say, a smell divine among the Hottentots, who rub their greasy bodies with the powdered leaves of all the species, which they call Bucku. To Europeans the smell is unpleasant. This is a genus of handsome shrubs, bearing a general resemblance to heaths, but with larger leaves. The flowers are in corymbs at the ends of the branches. D. ericoides, and other species, are the kinds chiefly used by the Hottentots to scent the ointments with which they anoint their skin. Young cuttings root freely in sand under a bell-glass. 518. Adenandra. From ἀδηv, a gland, and avης avδρoς, a male; or, in composition of botanical names, a stamen; on account of the appendage of the stamens. This is a very natural genus, easily recognized by its glandular anthers. Sweet "found it succeed best in sandy peat, but some prefer mixing a little sandy loam with it. The young tender tops strike best, made into cuttings, and planted in a pot of sand under a bell-glass: it does not require to be plunged in heat." (Bot. Cult. 127.) 519. Baryosma. From βaρuς, strong, and όσμη, smell, in allusion to its fetid leaves. Plants with the habit of Diosma. Cuttings root readily, taken off in ripened wood, and planted in sand under a bell-glass.
