The Tamarind Tree. There are 
two kinds of Tamarinds; T.7indica, 
a native of the East Indies,- with 
~ yellow flowers striped with red, and 
T. occidentalis, a native of the 
West Indies, the flowers of which 
are white. Both kinds, however, 
very rarely flower in this country, 
probably because the trees have not 
sufficient room for their roots. The 
plants may be raised from seeds of 
preserved Tamarinds sown in a 
hotbed; and they are worth grow- 
ing for their handsome foliage.
