260 ILLUSTRATIONS OF THE BOTANY OF [ Styracee. 
the Macer (uax<p) of the Greeks; (by the Asiatics the * has been converted into f, as in 
Lycium, p. 63.) This, however, in all old authors, is described as the bark of an Indian 
tree. C.d’Acosta considers this is that called macre by the Brahmins on the Malabar 
Coast, of which the bark is useful in dysenteries: but this tree is unknown to botanists.

Hab. This plant is an inhabitant of cold and lofty situations, as Jumnotri, the top of Choor, and 
of the mountains surrounding Cashmere, and like many plants of such situations is furnished with 
sete on the younger upper parts of branches, probably to protect them from the severity of the cold. 
The calyx is adherent to the lower part of the capsule, becomes succulent, and forms an edible fruit 
in the month of September. ; :

C. COROLLIFLOR. 
M. De Candolle’s great division of Calyciflore concludes with the Ericacee ; the 
following families are included in his subclass Corolliflore. 
105. STYRACEZ. 
This order, sometimes called Symplocinee, requires to be more carefully investigated 
-and definitively settled, as it has sometimes been divided into almost as many orders as 
it contains genera, as Styracee, Symplocinee, and Halesiacee. Of the genera Styrar and 
Symplocos, the first is allied to Meliacee, and the second to Jernstremiacee. Schepfia, 
sometimes placed here, has been removed to Loranthacee. 
The Styracee are chiefly found in the tropical parts both of Asia and America, and in 
both extending north, as a species of Styraz (S. officinale), is found in the S. of Europe, 
probably introduced from Asia Minor or Syria; and in the New World species of 
Hopea,
