IN BOTANY. XXX. 



SECTION LXXII. GEOSSULAEIACE^E, OR CURRANT-WORTS. 



Characteristics : Calyx tubular, adherent, prolonged to a 

 varying extent above the ovary; petals inserted upon tha 

 throat of the calyx, equal in number to the divisions of tin 

 latter ; aestivation imbricated ; stamens equal in number to tho 

 petals and alternate with the latter ; ovary inferior and one- 

 celled ; placenta usually two, parietal or attached to the 

 valves ; ovules horizontal, reflexed ; berry pulpy ; seeds angu- 

 lar, dicotyledonous ; embryo straight in the base of an almost 

 corneous albumen. 



Member.* of this natnr.il order arc sometimes armed with 

 spines situated beiow the leaf ; the leaves are alternate or fasci- 

 culated ; limb palmi-lobed ; petiole dilated. The flowefs are dis- 

 posed in axillary racemes in the species which are deprived of 

 .spines ; they are solitary or few in number in the spine-bearing 

 species. The berry is surrrounded by the persistent tube of the 

 calyx. The seeds have a gelatinous testa, in which a long raphe, 

 or cord running between the outer and inner coverings of tho 

 seed, ramifies. Tho endopleura is adherent to the jJbumen. 



The Orossulariaceae are for the most part inhabitants of the 

 temperate and cool regions of tho northern hemisphere. Tho 

 genus Ribes constitutes nearly all the family to which it imparts 

 the distinctive name. Its species contain in their herbaceous 

 portion a resinous aromatic principle. Their fruit is filled with 

 a saccharine mucilage in combination with malic and citric acids, 

 and occasionally astringent matters. Tho white currant (Riles 

 ?-'</n-"i(i) variety, an illustration of which is given in Fig. 227, 

 affords a good example of the genus. 



Goosebeviy and currant trees are so well known that any pro- 

 longed description of them would bo useless. They are amongst 

 the most delicious of cultivated fruit, and furnish no bad sub- 

 stituto for tho vino as a wine-making material. 



SECTION LXXI1I. ONAORACK/E, OB ONAOBADB. 



"teristict : Calyx adherent ; petal* two to four, eqaal 



in niiiiil.er to tho diviaioio* of tho calyx ; contorted in Mtivo- 



ti m ; HtameiiH equal in number to tho petal*, or double; ovary 



. two to four loculur ; ovules reflexed ; fruit captolar or 



bacciform, two or fo'ir-colled ; seed* winged, cr with a toft of 



. seed dicotyledonous, exalbuminou*. 



Tin' !:i.-nil<T8 of this natural order potMM leave* without 



stipules ; flower* sometime.* axillary and solitary, sometimes 



in tho form of a corymb or spike. They are chiefly cxtra- 



!, and belong for tho most part to tho northern tern- 



lone. 



Two '<!, or willow herb, and Circcea, or en- 



. le, are mucilaginous. The ancients believed 

 tint, tin- ;i iucuu-1 infu-irm of Epil" i*tifoHum had the 



property of taming wil.l animals, and that its vinous tincture 

 was exhilarent when administered to human beings, ft. 

 biennis, or biennial evening primrose, and (Enothera tnavolen*, 

 or sweet-scented evening primrose, originally natives of North 

 America, but now cultivated, like many of their congeners, in 

 our gardens, possess a saccharine root, which is sometimes 

 used as an article of food. 



Fuchsias are elegant shrubs, indigenous to New Zealand and 

 South America, now common enough in our gardens. They are 

 remarkable for the beauty of their foliage, their petaloid calyx, 

 and their convolute corolla. 



The berries of certain New Zealand species yield an agreeable 

 perfume. 



SECTION LXXIV. ANACARDIACE/E, OB TEREBINTHS. 



Characteristics : Flowers ordinarily dioecious by abortion ; 

 calyx free, or rarely adherent to the ovary ; petals inserted upon 

 a pc'rigynous disc, or else upon a short stipes, equal in number 

 to the divisions of the calyx ; sometimes absent ; imbricated in 

 aestivation ; stamens equal in number to the petals, and alter- 

 nate with them, or in double or multiple number ; carpels ordi- 

 narily reduced to one unilocular ; or four to five distinct, one 

 alone being fertile ; ovule single, ascending, ordinarily free, 

 curved or half-reflexed ; fruit drupaceous or dry; seed dicotyle- 

 donous, exalbuminous, curved ; stem woody ; juice gummy or 

 milky ; leaves alternate and without stipules. 



The Anacardiaceas owe their properties to a resinous juice 

 which in certain species resembles pine turpentine ; in the 

 greater number of species, however, this resinous principle in 

 mixed with certain acrid matters, which, on contact with the 

 air, become black, and impart to the secretion very stimulating, 

 sometimes venomous, properties. The bitter and astringent 

 principles which some individuals of this natural order contain 

 in their bark and wood modify the action of the stimulating 

 matter. The fruit of certain species is fleshy, abundant in 

 sugar and free acids ; sometimes edible. The seeds contain a 

 fixed oil. 



The Pistacia Lentiscus, or mastic tree (Fig. 228), a plant culti- 

 vated in the Grecian Archipelago, and the Pistacia atlantica, 

 A native of the Mauritius, are valuable for their product 

 mastic. This substance, employed by ourselves as the basis of 

 saver.il varnishes, is largely used by Orientals as a masticatory, 

 whence its name. By these persons it is believed to purify the 

 breath. The Pistacia Terebinthus, or turpentine tree, grows 

 I spontaneously in the whole Mediterranean region. From its 

 trunk flows a limpid adhesive juice, yeflowish-blne In colour, 

 i and of a penetrating odour, something between that of citron 

 I and fennel. Its taste is balsamic, exempt from bitterness and 

 acridity. This substance, known as Scio turpentine, is rarely 

 pure, and chemistry is unequal to detect the fraud. Its seeds, 

 formerly employed in passive haemorrhages and dysentery, are 

 at present held in but little repute. The Pistacia vera, or 

 true pistachia tree, originally a native of Persia and Syria, ia 

 now grown in the whole Mediterranean region ; its oily seeds, 

 under the name of green almonds, are very agreeable in taste, 

 and are employed by druggists in France as the basis of certain 

 emulsions. 



The mango (Mwnrrlfcra Indica) is a tree originally of Asia, 

 but it is now cultivated in many tropical regions for the sake 

 of its fruit. This is very agreeable in taste, but it must 

 be sparingly partaken of, or much constitutional disorder 

 results. 



In exchange for the mango which America has received from
