 Trees, shrubs, or herbs, in general not remarkable for their beauty, the greater part of the last being the 

 commonest weeds of the tropics. The Lime, from which the order derives its name, is a genus of fine trees 

 with fragrant flowers, and SparmanmV* and Entelea are handsome broad-leaved green-house ai-horescent 

 plants. The inner bark of Tilia is tough and separable, and supplies the material whence the Russia mats 

 used by gardeners and others are prepared. Corchorus olitbrius is cultivated in Egypt as a kitchen -garden 

 vegetable ; the fibres of the bark of Corchorus capsularis are twisted into fishing lines : and the roasted nuts 

 of the Lime tree are reported to bear some resemblance to chocolate. Cuttings or seeds.

 These differ from Tiliaceas in nothing except their lobed petals and anthers opening by two pores at the 

 apex. The flowers of some of the species of Ekeocarpus are fragrant, the fruit eatable, and the hard rugose 

 stones manufactured into necklaces. Cuttings.

This order, according to Petit Thouars, is allied to Malvaceas, in having an involucrum to the flower, and 

 in the stamens being monadelphous ; but, according to Jussieu, it is allied to Ebenacea?, from the petals being 

 connected at the base, and in the seeds being furnished with albumen. Shrubs and trees, with simple 

 alternate stipulaceous leaves, chiefly natives of Madagascar. The genus Hugbm'a does not agree with the 

 rest of the genera of this order, in being destitute of the involucrum to the flower, therefore it is placed in 

 Chlenaceis afflnes by Decandolle. Cuttings.

 A very small order, consisting wholly of trees or shrubs, bearing handsome white or yellowish flowers. They 

 are nearly related to Camellieas, from which they do not differ at all in habit. Nothing is known of their pro- 

 perties. Noronha states that a species of Saurauja found in Java has a subacid fruit, in flavor resembling the 

 Tomato, and that is eaten by the Javanese under the name of Koleho. Inarching, cuttings, or layers.

 Camellias are too well known in our gardens to render it necessary to say much upon their peculiarities 

 The Camellia is one of the most beautiful, and the tea one of the most useful, plants in the world. Both are 

 natives of China, Japan, or Nepal. The tea is well known for the stimulating influence of its decoction, 

 upon the nerves, which is attributed by Cullen to the presence of a narcotic principle. The seeds of Camelh'a 

 oleifera yield a fine oil. None of the species bear fragrant flowers. Their nearest affinity is with Ternstrcerm- 

 hceee, from which they probably ought not to be separated. Cutting, grafting, or inarching.

 Smooth trees or shrubs, with simple stalked exstipulate alternate entire leaves, and little axillary flowers. 

 Botanists doubt whether what is called a calyx is not rather an involucrum, in which case the corolla would 

 become a calyx, and the station of the order among Monochlam^dea?, rather than in this place. Cuttings.
