really different, yet this is the original one defcribed by 
Linnezus inhis Flora Zeylanica, and is the fpecies known in 
our gardens as the Mexia Azedarach; the fame plant being 
deciduous in the greenhoufe, and evergreen if kept in the ftove. 
Few plants, as it appears, have a wider range, being found in 
North and South-America, and in the Eaft and Weft-Indies, 
as well as in Syria. Is common, by cultivation, in al] the 
Southern parts of Europe, where the nuts are threaded for 
beads, to affift the devotion of good Catholics, for which pur- 
_ pofe they are peculiarly fuited, having a natural perforation 
' through the centre; hence the tree has been called ardor 
Janéla and by the Spaniards ardol parayfo. Flowers all the 
fummer. . -
