 the fabled upas tree of Java, which fur- 

 nishes the " Antjar poison." As if to 

 prove the saying that reality is more 

 strange than fiction at least in botany 

 the very nearest plant in. affinity to this 

 deadly poisonous tree is the cow-tree of 

 South America, whose milky juice is as 

 wholesome as that of an "Alderney," 

 and the breadfruit-tree is also closely 

 allied to the upas. A stove tree ; cut- 

 tings of rather firm wood, in sandy soil, 

 under a bell-glass, and in bottom heat.
