ferring to the " bitter tonic taste " of 

 the bark, one of the characteristics of 

 its Nat. orcl., Magnoliads [Magnolia- 

 cese]. Linn., l'3-Polyandria 4t-Tetra- 

 gynia.} 



The Winter Bark of commerce is that of D. 

 Winteri, a good substitute for cinnamon. 

 Greenhouse evergreen trees, with white flowers. 

 Cuttings of half-ripe shoots, in sand, under a 

 glass, and, after standing a fortnight shaded 

 from sun, transferred to a sweet bottom-heat ; 

 fibry peat and sandy lumpy loam. Winter 

 temp., 40 to 45.

DKO'SERA. Sundew. (From droseros, 

 dewy. Nat. ord., Sundews [Drosera- 

 eese]. Linn., 5-Pentandria 5-Penta- 

 gynia.) 



The sundews are delicate herbaceous plants, 

 chiefly inhabitants of marshes ; the whole plant 

 is thickly clothed with glandular hairs, giving 

 them the appearance of being studded with 

 dew-drops. We have often viewed D. rotundi- 

 folia with amazement, on the opposite side of a 

 little pool, arrayed in hundreds of little stars, 

 and sparkling beneath a midday's sun. Seeds, 

 generally, and divisions ; peat earth, above it 

 fresh sphagnum moss, in which the tiny plant 

 is to be fixed, and then the pot is to be set in a 

 pan of water; when cultivated, they should all 

 be indulged in the greenhouse.

Dntmmond, who sacrificed his life in

 in a dry place or rockwork.

DRY'AS. (From Dryades, the god- 

 desses of the woods, to whom the oak 

 was sacred. The leaves of D. octopetala, 

 a Scotch plant on which the genus was 

 founded by Linnceus, resemble small 

 oak-leaves ; and he, in a playful mood, 

 made Dry as the badge of Virgil's Dry- 

 acles, after the manner of the Scottish 

 clans. Nat. ord., Bosewoyts [Roseacea].
