 Catixl in ft'»tivation ; and the ovarium wholly superior. It eonsisls entirely of shrnhs or sniull trees, with

 Si'veral are favourite ornaments of our shrul)l)eries, lu the Staphylfcn, the rclAstrim, and the A'urtnymus ; the 

 latter of which is vniutxi on nrcounl of its beautiful-eolorcd (Yuit. The fruit of /uionymus europa-^us is a'hrisk 

 purgative, at is also the inner hark, and in stroiiK doses |>owerfully emetic. The famous Paraguay tea is the 

 loti.tKe of a s|H'eies of /""lex. The hark of /'rinos vcrtieill.itus jMissesscs such active, astriiiKent, bitter, tonic, 

 and fehrifuKal qualities, that it is usihI in North America with success, as a substilute for Cinchona. A

 tile tree Lithi. Cuttings, suckers, layers, and seeds; sometimes by grafts.

 In habit, this altogether agrees with the last, from which the medical properties of the species are not widely 

 different. Throughout the order, as far as it has been examined, there is a remarkable agreement between 

 the fruit and the inner bark, especially in .Khamnus catharticus, Frungula, and others, in which they both are 

 purgative and emetic. Some, as the Jujuba and the African Lote, nevertheless, yield a wholesome and agreeable 

 fruit; and the berries of the greater number yield, under the chemist's hands, green or yellow dyes of much 

 im|)ortance in manufactures. The leaves of /ih^mnus Thchcans are substituted for tea by the poorer sort 

 among the Chinese. The bark of Ceanbthus caeriileus is esteemed in Mexico as a good febrifuge. Cuttings,- 

 suckers, and seeds.

 Tropical shrubs or small trees, with entire, stipulate, alternate leaves, covered with pellucid dots, and 

 axillary flowers of little show. Some of the species of .S'amj^da are pretty, but very rare. Their properties 

 are unknown. M. Decanrtolle remarks, that in their fruit they approach Bixines and Flacourti^nea; ; but on 

 account of the position of their stamens must be arranged in the vicinity of Rhamneze and Rosaceae. Cuttings,

 Evergreen handsome shrubs, with alternate leaves and deciduous stipule; they are readily known by their 

 parietal placentae, an unusual character among the orders that surround them. Blackw^lhVz/agiffdia has fine 

 bunches of starry white fragrant flowers. Aristotfelwt is an evergreen half hardy shrub, with eatable berries. 

 Little is known of their medical properties j the root of Homkiium Racoubea is used in Guiana as a cure for 

 gonorrhtta. Cuttings or layers.
