 Tombr^tum and Quisqualis are among the most splendid of the climbing plants of the tropics, adorning the 

 trees from which they depend with garlands of white and crimson, and yellow. The bark of Kucida Buceras 

 is used with success in Guiana for tanning leather. The juice of Terminklia vt rnix is employed by the Chinese 

 as a varnish ; it is, however, caustic, and its exhalation dangerous ; benzoin is the produce of Terminllia 

 Benzoin. The kernel of several species is eaten as a nut, and the expressed oil has the remarkable quality ol 

 noC becoming rancid. Cuttings.

 upon the shores of the sea and rivers, even as far as low water. The see<ls have the singular property of
