Cult. The seeds of this plant 
should be sown in a potof light 
earth, placing it in a hot-bed, and 
when the plants are of sufficient 
size they should be planted into 
separate pots, and shaded until 
they have taken fresh root; after 
this they may be placed in the stove, where they will ripen their 
seed.

in important characters). Andr. Juss. in mem. mus. 12, p. 497. 
Flowers of separate sexes, regular. Calyx divided into 3, but 
usually 4-5. Petals equal in number, frequently longer, usually 
twisted in the bud, rarely wanting. Male flowers, with the 
stamens equal in number to the petals, rarely double that 
number, for the most part longer than them, inserted round 
the base of the gynophore. Female flowers with abortive 
stamens and a short style, Ovaries seated on the receptacle, 
equal in number to the petals or fewer, sometimes distinct 
or partly so, with 2 ovule in each. Styles equal in number 
to the ovaries, simple, sometimes free, sometimes joined, some- 
times wanting. Stigma 2-5-lobed, or in the free styles simple. 
Fruit -simple, baccate, or membranous, 2-5-celled, sometimes 
multiple. Seeds solitary or twin, pendulous, smooth, and shining. 
Albumen fleshy, with a superior radicle, and ovate, flat coty- 
ledons.— Trees or shrubs, with alternate or opposite, simple, but 
more frequently abruptly or impari-pinnate, dotted or dotless 
leaves. Flowers axillary and terminal, variously disposed, male 
and female intermixed, sometimes on different branches, some- 
times on different trees; pedicels bracteolate. Divers parts 
bitter and aromatic.

by a single 5-lobed stigma. Fruit of 5 distinct carpels, opening 
inwardly, 2-valved, 3-4-seeded. Seeds kidney-shaped, expanded 
on the back into an elegant netted wing. Embryo arched.—A 
little tree, with alternate, pinnate leaves; leafiets nearly oppo- 
site or alternate, unequal-sided, with glandular margins, without 
dots. Terminal branches bearing the flowers, dividing into a 
broad corymb; pedicels bracteate. Flowers downy-white, male
