This species, which is remarkable for the beauty of its foliage, is known 

 in America by the names of White Cucumber Tree, Long-leaved Cucum- 

 ber Tree, and Indian Physic. The latter name it has obtained from the 

 circumstance of its bark being used in intermittent fevers. It is characte- 

 rized by its rhomboido-oboval acute leaves, which are narrowed and 

 two-lobed at the base ; and its ovate acute petals. The flowers are 

 greenish-white.
