Trees, shrubs, or herbs, in general not remarkable for their beauty, the greater part of the last being the 

 commonest weeds of the tropics. The Lime, from which the order derives its name, is a genus of fine trees 

 with fragrant flowers, and Sparmannz and Entelfea are handsome broad-leaved green-house arborescent 

 plants. The inner bark of Tilia is tough and separable, and supplies the material whence the Russia mats 

 used by gardeners and others are prepared. Corchorus olitbrius is cultivated in Egypt as a kitchen-garden 

 vegetable ; the fibres of the bark of Corchorus capsularis are twisted into fishing lines ; and the roasted nuts 

 of the Lime tree are reported to bear some resemblance to chocolate. Cuttings or seeds.

These differ from Tiliacea? in nothing except their lobed petals and anthers opening by "two pores 

 apex. The flowers of some of the species of Ekeocarpus are fragrant, the fruit eatable, and the hard 

 stones manufactured into necklaces. Cuttings.

This order, according to Petit Thouars, is allied to Malvaceae, in having an involucrum to the flower, and 

 in the stamens being monadelphous ; but, according to Jussieu, it is allied to Ebenacea?, from the petals being 

 connected at the base, and in the seeds being furnished with albumen. Shrubs and trees, with simple 

 alternate stipulaceous leaves, chiefly natives of Madagascar. The genus Hugftnz'a does not agree with the 

 rest of the genera of this order, in being destitute of the involucrum to the flower, therefore it is placed in 

 Chlenaceis afflnes by Decandolle. Cuttings.

 Tomato, and that is eaten by the Javanese under the name of Koleho. Inarching, cuttings, or layers.

V very small order, consisting wholly of trees or shrubs, bearing handsome white or yellowish flowers. They 

 nearly related to Camellieaa, from which they do not differ at all in habit. Nothing is known of their pro.

Camellias are too well known in our gardens to render it necessary to say much upon their peculiarities 

 The Camellia is one of the most beautiful, and the tea one of the most useful, plants in the world. Both are 

 natives of China, Japan, or Nepal. The tea is well known for the stimulating influence of its decoction 

 upon the nerves, which is attributed by Cullen to the presence of a narcotic principle. The seeds of Camelha 

 oleifera yield a fine oil. None of the species bear fragrant flowers. Their nearest affinity is with Ternstrcenu'- 

 acecB) from which they probably ought not to be separated. Cutting, grafting, or inarching.

Smooth trees or shrubs, with simple stalked exstipulate alternate entire leaves, and little axillary flowers. 

 Botanists doubt whether what is called a calyx is not rather an involucrum, in which case the corolla would 

 become a calyx, and the station of the order among Monochlam^dea?, rather than in this place. Cuttings.
