 noble tree with lar^e yellow Hi)wern, rivalliUK tluwe of a MaKn51/Vi. Hibl)^rty« volubiliH i» a green. Iioubc plant 

 well known for the In-auty of lU bUmonin, and their powerfully fetid Hinell. The medical properties of thli 

 onler are scarcely known ; a tlecoction of the leaves or bark is astringent, and usecl lor gargles ; and the acid 

 Juice of the fVuit of some of the spei ies of Dilltnirt is u.sed in India, mixed with water, as a pleasant beverage 

 in fevers. 'J'he foti.ige of many of the species is extremely scabrous, whence the dri»'d leaves arc use<l for the 

 same iniriKwes as lish-skin and sand-paper in Kurope ; tho.se of 'I'r.u hyteila ^ispera are even employed in China 

 for |Milishing works of metal Most of the species strike readily by cuttings ol the ripened wood in sand under

No one is ignorant of the grandeur of Magnolias, or of the delicious, though sometimes dangerous, fragrance 

 of their blossoms ; but it is less generally known, that, from their affinity to the trees that produce the famous 

 Winter's bark and Melambo bark, they possess medicinal qualities of no common power. 'I he bark of all of 

 them is said to have a bitter flavor without any a.striiigcncy, and combined with a hot aromatic i)rincii)le. In 

 the Unite<l States, the bark of MagnobVi glanca and Liriodt ndron tulipifera is employed for the same purposes 

 as Jesuit's bark, and from the fruit of Magnbl/Vr acumin&ta a tincture is prepared which has some reputation 

 for removing attacks of rheumatism. The fruit of Ulicium anisatum is the material which flavours the liqueur 

 called Anisette de Bourdeaux. The Magnolias are exclusively inhabitants of Asia and America, no species 

 having hitherto been found either in Europe or in Africa. The shoots of most of the species do not emit 

 roots freely, and therefore they are generally propagated by layers, grafting, inarching, and sometimes by 

 seeds ; two or three of the species by cuttings.

The plants of this order are closely allied to Magnoliaceae, from which they are principally distinguished by 

 the absence of stipulae, and by the structure of their anthers and seeds. The latter consist of a hard mass of 

 albumen, ruminated, as the botanists call it, that is to say, perforated by the .substance of the seed-coat, in 

 every direction. They are all trees or shrubs, and chiefly inhabitants of the hottest parts of the tropics, but a 

 few have been di.scovered straggling into the temperature zones of America. The fruit of the Anona is in 

 many species highly esteemed as an article for the dessert, especially that of the Cherimoyer, which has the 

 reputation of being the finest fruit in the world, next to the mangosteen. The hard fruits of the species of 

 Uvaria are highly aromatic ; those of one of them furnish the Piper athi('ipicum of the shops. The genus 

 Asimina is the only one which contains any hardy species, and these are so delicate as to be seen very rarely 

 in this country. In Brazil, the bark of Xylopia sericea is used for cordage j for which it is admirably adapted.

The order of Menispermkceae consists entirely of twining shrubs with minute flowers. They are extreir.ely 

 dissimilar in habit from the orders which are placed near them, and occupy their present station entirely on 

 account of certain minute but important characters in their fructification. With the exception of Schizindra 

 cocclnea none of them are worth cultivating as plants of ornament. 1 he berries of Lardizabaifl biternkta are 

 sold in the markets of Chile, under the name of Afiuilboquil, Guilbogui, or Coguill- Fochi, according to different 

 travellers. 'ITie bitter, diuretic, and aperient roots of Pareira brava are the produce of the Cissdmpcloi
