Bhamnace^;, or Bhamnads. These are trees 

 and shrubs, often with spines. They are 

 found in nearly all parts of the world ; several 

 species of Zizyphus bear eatable fruit, known 

 by the names of Lotus and Jujubes. 



Bhamntjs, Linn. From the Celtic ram, signi- 

 fying a tuft of branches. Linn. 5, Or. 1, 

 Nat. Or. Rhamnacece. The plants belonging 

 to this genus are mostly valued on account of 

 their foliage. The stove and greenhouse 

 kinds are easily grown in any light soil ; and 

 increasa readily by cuttings under a glass. 

 The hardy kinds grow in any common soil, 

 and are usually propagated by layers and 

 seeds. The plants and berries possess very 

 strong purgative qualities. The juice of the 

 berries of R, cathartiaus is sold under the 

 name of syrup of buckthorn ; the French 

 berries of the shops are the unripe fruit of 

 the same species, and are used for dyeing 

 Turkey or Morocco leather yellow. The wood 

 of R. dahuricus is red, and is known to the 

 Russians by the name of sandal-wood. Syno- 

 nymes: 1, R. Clusii; 2, R. Willdenovianus ; 

 3, R. rupistris ; 4, R. pihmilus; 5, R. pitmilus.
