T\a : the Pointal afterward changes 

 to a Berry, hawing three Cells, in each 

 of nvhich is lodged a Jingle Seed. 

 The Species are ; 



1 . C a s s I N E vera perquatn jlmilis 

 crbufcula, Phillyrea foliis an tag on i- 

 fis, ex provincia Carolinienji. Pluk. 

 Mant. The Camoberry-bulh. 



2. Ca s si n e <vera Floridanorum ar- 

 hufcula, bacciferi alaterni ferme fa- 

 cie, foliis alternatim fitis, tetrapy- 

 rene. Pluk. Mant. The South-Sea 

 Thea-tree, or Yapon, <vulgo. 



The firfl of thefe Trees is hardy, 

 and will endure our fevered Win- 

 ters in the open Ground, after they 

 are become woody ; therefore it will 

 be proper to (helter the young Plants 

 two or three Winters while they are 

 young ; after which time they may 

 be tranfplanted abroad in a Iheltcred 

 Situation, upon a light Soil, where 

 they will thrive exceedingly, and in 

 a few Years produce Flowers. This 

 Tree feldom grows to be very large, 

 and therefore mould be planted 

 among Trees of a middling Growth. 

 The largeft of thefe Trees which I 

 have as yet feen in England, is now 

 growing in the Gardens of that cu- 

 rious and learned Botanift Charles 

 Duboi/e, Efq; at Mitcham in Surry, 

 which is about ten Feet high, and 

 pretty thick in the Stem : this Tree 

 hath ftood abroad in an open Situa- 

 tion for feveral Years, refilling the 

 fevereft Winters, and hath flower'd 

 many Years ; but I doni remember 

 to have heard of its producing any 

 Fruit. 



This Sort is now become pretty 

 common in the Nurferies near Lon- 

 don, where it is propagated by lay- 

 ing down the Branches, which af- 

 ford Shoots in Plenty for that Pur- 

 pofe from the Root, and Lower-part 

 of the Stem, fo as to become very 

 buOiy and thick, if they are not 

 tut off: there are-Numbers of thefe

Shrubs which produce Flowers in 

 England every Year ; but none of 

 them ripen their Seeds. This Plant 

 is by fome late Authors fuppofed to 

 be the fame with the Cape Phyllirea t 

 mentioned in the E It ham Garden ; 

 but it is very different, that being 

 ever-green, and this (heds its Leaves. 



The fecond Sort is fomewhat ten- 

 derer than the former, and mould 

 not be planted in the full Ground, 

 until the Plants have acquired a con- 

 fiderable Strength ; nor mould they 

 be planted in a Situation too much 

 expos'd to the cold Winds, and mud 

 have a fandy Soil. This Sort differs 

 from the former, in the manner of 

 producing its Leaves, which are 

 placed alternately on the Branches, 

 whereas the other produces its Leaves 

 by Pairs oppofite to each other. 

 This is an Ever- green ; but the Caf- 

 fioberry-bulh Ihedsits Leaves in Win- 

 ter. 



The Inhabitants of North Caro- 

 lina and Virginia, where this Shrub 

 grows in Plenty, give it the Title of 

 Yapon, which I fuppofe to be the In- 

 dian Name : for, as it is a Plant 

 much eiteemed by the Indians for its 

 medicinalVirtues,they certainly have 

 a Name for it : this grows to the 

 Height of ten or twelve Feet : the 

 Leaves are about the Size and Shape 

 of thofe of the fmall-leav'd Alater- 

 nus, but are fomewhat fhorter, and 

 a Hide broader, at their Bafe : they 

 are a little notched about theirEdges, 

 and are of a thick Subftance, and 

 deep green Colour ; the Flowers of 

 this Sort sre produced at the Joints 

 near the Footftatk of the Leaves ; 

 but the Csilioberry bufh produces 

 its Flowers in Umbels at the Extre- 

 mity of the Shoots : the Berries of 

 this Yapon continue upon the Plants 

 mo£ Part of the Winter, and, be- 

 ing of a bright-red Colour, inter- 

 mixed with the green Leaves, make
