 Beautiful hardy early-flowering shrubs, natives of North America and Japan, with sweet-scented yellowish 

 or lurid purple flowers, which are either axillary or terminal, and simple opposite exstipulate feather-nerved 

 leaves. The wood, leaves, and flowers of Calycanthus floridus are sweet-scented, hence it is called American 

 allspice. The order differs from Rosacea? in the form of the embryo, and from Granatea? in the imbricate 

 aestivation of the calyx j from both, in the absence of petals, and in the numerous divisions of the calyx. 

 Cuttings and layers.

 This order consists of only one genus, the well-known pomegranate, which is well worth a place in every 

 garden, on account of its beautiful scarlet flowers. It differs from Myrtaceas in the leaves being destitute of 

 pellucid dots, as well as in the seeds being enveloped in pulp ; from Calycantheas in the calyx being valvate 

 in aestivation j and from Memecyleae in the stamens being indefinite. Cuttings, layers, or seeds.

 Combretum 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 Buclda Buceras 

 is used with success in Guiana for tanning leather. The juice of Terminalia vernix is employed by the Chinese 

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

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

 not becoming rancid. Cuttings.

 Fine trees and shrubs, natives of tropical America, with terminal panicled or thyrsoid racemes of yellow 

 flowers, and opposite or whorled entire feather-nerved leaves, each furnished with two stipulas at the base. 

 This order agrees with Combretaceas in having convolute cotyledons and inverted seeds, and with Onagraria?, 

 particularly with the genus Lophzia, in the flowers being monandrous, or, if triandrous, two of the anthers 

 are always sterile. Cuttings.

 The mangroves are plants of arborescent stature, which are remarkable, in tropical countries, for growing 

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

 germinating, while enclosed within the capsule and adhering to their parent, and pushing forth a long fusiform 

 radicle, which lengthens till it reaches the soil, where it takes root, and forms a new individual. The bark of 

 Rhizophora gymnorhiza, which is very astringent, is used in India for dyeing black. Cuttings.

 A very well defined order, generally known by its pollen cohering, by a sort of filamentous substance, 

 an inferior polyspermous ovarium, a tetrasepalous tetrapetalous flower, with a definite number of stamens, and
