 long footftalks. The flowers are produced at the 

 extremity of the branches in form of a Tulip, com- 

 pofed of fix or feven petals, or fometimes more, 

 greenilh coloured towards the tops, but marked 

 tranfverfely with red, towards the claws; which are 

 glandular and honey-bearing. The young trees 

 make a beautiful appearance, efpecially when in flow- 

 er. We have two kinds of Tulip trees, viz. Yellow 

 and White, their difference eafily diftinguifhable by 

 the wood or timber, but perhaps not otherwife. The 

 Yellow is foft and brittle, and much ufed for boards, 

 heels for flioes, &c. alfo turned into bowls, trench- 

 ers, &c. The whil;e is heavy, tough, and hard, and 

 likewife fayed into joifts, boards, &c. for building. 

 The bark of the root is ufed as an ingredient in 

 bitters, &c.
