Vainahle txeca, natives of the woods of Europe, Siberia, and North America. Their flowers are in all 

 iiifWMirnwii ; the breadth and rich color of their leaves constituting their beauty. All the larger 

 aboond in a very saccharine sap, from which sugar is prepared in North America : it is chiefly madf 

 ^>Der^saocharlnum and Segiindi^m^ but may be obtained mm many others. Commonly by layers or 

 will grow by cuttings in sand.

 The order is much valued for the grandeur of the foliage and flowers of moist of the species, which are 

 all hardy trees. Their bitter friiit has sometimes been used as a stemuutory ; it contains a large quantity of 

 potash, and an abundance of starch. The bark is astringent, bitter, and febrifugal, and has been recommended 

 as a substitute for Cinchona. Seeds or layers, and by grafting.

A very distinct order closely allied to the TerebinthJicese, but, from the hypogynous insertion of the petals 

 and stamina, and the structure of its fruit, diflers essentially from that order. It agrees with Hippocast&nes 

 in the insertioD of the petali and stamina, and in having opposite palmate leave?, but differs from it in having 

 a large radicle and small cotyledons, not with a small radicle and large cotyledons as in that order. The order 

 contains only one genus, the CaryC)car, the Rhizobolus of Gsertner and Priea of .\ublct ; a genus remarkable 

 for bearing the Butter and Saouari, or Suwarrow, nut The last is not unfrequent in our fruiterers' shops. It 

 is sweet and palatable, conUining a rich oil, and the pulp is dry, not buttery as in the Butter-nut Large 

 trees, natires of Guiana and Essequebo ; propagated in our stoves' by cuttings, in sand under a bell-glass

One of the distinctive peculiarities of this order coasists in the petals having an additional lobe in the 

 inside, or a t\ift of hairs instead. Nearly all the plants have compound leaves, and bunches of white flowers ; 

 a few of them are twining herbs, but the greater part are trees or shrubs, all natives of the warmer part* of 

 the world, and, in a great proportion, of the East The only genus which will bear the climate of England is 

 Kdlreut^ria, a fine shrub or small tree, with panicles of white or pale yellow flowers. NephWiura aixl 

 Dimocarpus are both genera bearing excellent fruit The rind of the berry of Sap.ndus Saponlria is of a 

 soapy quality, as the name of the pilant indicates. The pulp of Melicocca and the arillus of BUghia sapida 

 are excellent eating. Cuttings, layers, or seeds.
