ARfecA, Linn. "When an old tree, it is called in 

 Malabar areec, when quite young, Perynga. 

 Linn. 21, Or. 10, Nat. Or. Palmcueos. This 

 most beautiful genus of .palms succeeds best in 

 light sandy loam, and can be increased only 

 from seeds'. The well-known Betel Nut is the 

 -fruit of A. CatecM, and remarkable for its 

 narcotic or intoxicating power ; from the fruit 

 is prepared a kind of spurious CatecM. It 

 seems, however, doubtful whether the iutoxir 

 cating effect of the Betel Nut, which is cut in 

 slices, folded in the aromatic , leaves of the 

 Betel pepper Nut (Piper Betel), and chewed in 

 the mouth like tobacco, is not owing to the 

 Piper ,leaf, in which it is wrapped when eaten, 

 rather than to any special property of its own.
