Aristotelia, Willdenow. In memory of Aris- 

 totle. Linn. 11, Or. 1, Nat. Or. Tiliaceoz. 

 This as a shrub is showy, but its flowers have 

 little beauty. In a warm situation it grows 

 freely, in common soil, and ripened cuttings 

 soon take, as do also layers. It produces eat- 

 able berries.

ArmenIaca, Toumefort. Named from the apri- 

 cot being originally from Armenia. Linn. 12, 

 Or. 1, Nat. Or. Drupacece. A genus of valu- 

 able fruit trees, as is at once apparent from its 

 containing the well-known apricot. The spe- 

 cies all thrive well in a rich loamy soil, and are 

 best increased by budding on kind free-growing 

 plum stocks. A. vulgaris, or common apricot, 

 produces a round, yellow, firmish-fleshed fruit, 

 little less esteemed than the peach or nectarine ; 

 it is used fresh from the tree at the dessert, and 

 is also made into jellies, preserves, &e. ; from 

 the clarified juice the Chinese make lozenges, 

 which, dissolved by water, yield a grateful 

 beverage ; the nut yields a kind of oil, and the 

 young shoots a fine golden colour to wool.

 seen at Sultepec and near Arembaro, growing 

 upon trees." — Bot. Beg. It may be referred
