B6mbax, Linn. The name is derived from bom- 

 box, cotton ; in allusion to the wool in the 

 pods. Linn. 16, Or. 8, Nat. Or. Sterculidcece. 

 The genus is trivially named the Silk Cotton 

 Tree, and the species thrive well in a sandy 

 loamy soil ; half -ripened cuttings taken off at 

 a joint, and planted in sand, under a glass, in 

 a moist beat, root readily. The seeds of many 

 of the species are enveloped in long hairs, like 

 those of the true Cotton ; it is found, however, 

 that they cannot be manufactured, in conse-
