Class. Order. 
MONADELPHIA  POLYANDRIA. 
A native of China, whence it has lately 
been. introduced by the Horticultural So- 
ciety ; from whom we received it. 
According to Dr. Abel, the Chinese cul- 
tivate it largely for the nuts, from which they 
obtain sweet oil of a very excellent quality. 
It grows to the size of a Cherry-tree, and 
bears in great profusion. 
It requires the greenhouse with us, and 
flowers in autumn and winter. It may be 
increased by grafting upon the single Red 
Camellia. The soil should be rich loam.
