26 Magnohacce—Magnolia. 
6. M. acuminata. Cucumber Tree.—A large handsome 
tree with oblong or ovate-acuminate leaves. Flowers oblong, 
greenish yellow, relatively small. North America. The young 
fruit resembles somewhat a small cucumber. 
7. M. macrophijlla.—aA tree from 20 to 40 feet high, having 
large obovate scattered leaves auricled at the narrowed base 
and silvery pubescent beneath. Flowers large, campanulate, 
white, with a purple centre. A native of North America. 
8. M. Campbéllii..—This is a magnificent arboreous species 
from the mountains of India, having large ovate-lanceolate 
leaves silky hairy beneath, and splendid crimson and white 
flowers rivalling those of grandiflora in size, and exceeding 
them in brillianey. It is scarcely hardy, and still very rare in 
this country. : 
38. LIRIODENDRON. 
Sepals 3, reflexed. Petals 6, connivent in two imbricated 
series. Carpels in an oblong spike, 2-seeded, at length sama- 
roid and indehiscent. Only one species is known, a native of 
North America. The name is from Aéipeov, a lily, and ddvédpor, 
a tree. 
1. L. tulipifera. Tulip Tree.—This is one of the noblest 
hardy exotic trees we have. In its native habitat it attains a 
height of 150 feet, and even in England there are many specimens 
from 75 to 100 feet high, which often produce their yellow or 
orange sweet-scented flowers in great profusion. The habit 
resembles that of the erect-growing Plane, and its ample foliage 
renders it equally ornamental and effective. The remarkable 
4-lobed truncate leaves are alone sufficient to distinguish this 
from any other tree in cultivation. 
There is a variety distinguished by its larger foliage; 
another, called integrifolia, in which the inferior lobes are 
wanting ; and a third, in which the lobes are unusually large, is 
called obtusiléba. The variegated forms offer nothing special. 
Trine IIL.—SCHIZANDRE.E. 
Flowers unisexual. Carpels baccate, in several series, forming

4. SCHIZANDRA (including Marimowiczia).
