soft, and in the pedicels and stamens being longer, and the styles 
shorter. Leaves an inch long. Flowers yellowish-green. 
Stiff-leaved Red-wood. Tree 12 feet. 
Cult. These trees and shrubs are hardly worth cultivating, 
except in general collections. They will thrive well in a mix- 
ture of loam and peat, and cuttings not too ripe will root in sand 
under a hand-glass, in a moist heat.

order. The petals being unguiculate and undulated separates 
this from all the neighbouring orders. The timber of all is of 
a deep-red colour, and the bark is febrifuge. Their shewy 
pink or yellow flowers and neat foliage render all the order 
worthy of cultivation.
