Cult. The species of this genus will thrive well in a mixture 
of turfy loam and peat, and young cuttings, which are ripened 
at the base, taken off at a joint, will root in sand under a hand-

of Botany at Kiel). Koen, in Schreb. gen. no. 718. D.C. prol.

Lin. syst. Decándria, Monogynia. Calyx 5-parted. Co- 
rolla 5-parted. Stamens 10, with awl-shaped, compressed fila- 
ments and roundish anthers. Style somewhat conical. Ovary 
2-celled, 2-ovulate. Fruit baccate, usually 1l-celled and 1- 
seeded. Seed appendent with a membranaceous covering. Au- 
ricles of cotyledons large (Mirb. 1. c.). This genus is perhaps 
sufficiently distinct from Murraya. Trees with impari-pinnate

p. 315. Racemes many, forming a corymb at the top of the 
branches. Flowers small, whitish-yellow. Fruit the size and 
form of a pigeon’s egg, of a yellow colour. The pulp is easily 
separated when ripe, and gives out a kind of white juice before it 
is ripe when cut or broken, which blackens the skin as the outer 
covering of walnuts does in Europe, but when ripe it is grateful 
to the palate, and is much sought after by the inhabitants. The 
taste resembles that of white currants. The wood is hard and 
durable, and is used to make many implements of husbandry.
