StyracAceje, or Storax-worts. To this small 

 order belongs the Gum-Storax tree (Sttfrax 

 officinale), the Benzoin tree (Stijrax Benzoin), 

 and the Snow-drop tree (Hatisia tetrdptera), 

 so common in our shrubberies. 



STirRAX, Linn. A mere alteration of Asslliiralc, 

 the Arabic name of S. officinale. Linn. 10, 

 Or. 1, Nat. Or. Styracacece. The species of 

 Sttfrax are very handsome when in flower, and 

 are, therefore, well suited for ornamenting 

 shrubberies. A light soil suits them best, and 

 they are readily increased by layers, in spring 

 or autumn. S. officinale is remarkable for 

 producing the very powerful and fragrant bal- 

 sam known by the name of storax : it is bitter 

 and pungent to the taste, and possesses a 

 strong, agreeable odour. Synonyme: 1, S. 

 glabrum.

 be grown in pots filled with saud, and plunged 

 in water,
