CINCHONACE^. 



[Epigynous Exogens. 



An eatable fruit is furnished by a few species. The Genipap, a South American fruit 

 as large as an Orange, of a whitish -green colovu', but containing a dark pm-ple juice \\-ith 

 an ao-reeable vinous taste, is borne by Genipa americana. Sarcocephalus esculentus is 

 the Native Peach of Sierra Leone. Vangueria edulis, or Voa-vanga, is said to be a 

 good dessert fruit m Madagascar. Genipa brasUiensis is also eaten in Brazil, but Mar- 

 tins says that it is only fit for table after becommg bletted, and that it is better when 

 preserved with sugar than when fresh. Some of the bushes called m Tasmannia Native 

 Cui-rants are Coprosmas ; but they are not of good quahty. 



Coffee is the roasted seeds of a plant of tliis Order, Coffea arabica, and is supposed to 

 owe its stimulating, refreshmg characters to a peculiar chemical prmciple called Caffein, 

 which modern chemists pronounce to be the same as Theine. The part roasted is the 

 albumen which is of a hard horny consistence ; and it is probable that the seed of other 

 plants of this or the stellate Order, whose albumen is of the same texture, would serve 

 as a substitute. This would not be the case with those with fleshy albumen. 



Amonf' dyeing plants we have Oldenlandia umbellata; whose i-oots are a substitute 

 for IMadder m the East Indies ; Psychotria Simula, whose bark stams red in Brazil ; 

 Genipa brasiliensis, whose fruit strikes a deep \iolet ; Condammea tmctoria, Hydi'ophylax 

 maritima, and a few others of Uttle consequence. „ , . ^ , 



The fra^^rance or beauty of the flowers of some of the plants of this Order, especially 

 of the Gardenias, Hmdsias, Posoquerias, Ixoras, Cinchonas, Bouvardias, Catesbseas, &c. 

 is unsm-passed m the vegetable kingdom, and forms a strange contrast with the Spei-ma- 

 coces, Richardsonias, &c., which are among the meanest weeds we know.
