History, Use, Propagation, Culture, 
33. Phillyrea. Said to derive its name from (fvXKov, a leaf, an etymology far from satisfactory. The genus 
consists of ornamental evergreen shrubs, the supposed varieties of which have been considered distinct species 
by most modern botanists. Some authors have united the genus with Olea ; but they have not been followed 
generally. 
34. Chionanthus. From x/ai/, snow, and avGa;, a flower. Le Chionanthe, Fr. Der SchneeUume, Ger., and 
Albero de neve, Ital. Both species are highly ornamental shrubs or low trees ; their leaves are above half a foot 
in length, and 11 inch in breadth ; their flowers white, in numerous long bunches, and their fruit of the size 
and color of a sloe. They are propagated by seeds or grafting on the common ash. 
35. Notelcea. From voto;, south, and iXctioc, olive : the olive of the south. A small ornamental genus of nearly 
hardy shrubs, which would probably endure the climate of this country in a favorable situation. 
36. Ligustrum. From ligare, to tie, on account of its long pliable branches. La Fresillon, Fr. Der L,iguster, 
Ger., and Legustro, Ital. The privet in old authors is called primprivet, as Professor Martyn conjectures, from 
its patience under the sheers. Few shrubs exceed it as a garden hedge-plant : it will thrive in the middle of 
coal-burning cities, in the shade, and under the drip of trees; though to flower well it requires an open airy 
situation. Cows, sheep, and goats eat it, but horses refuse it. 
The Sphinx ligustri, L., or privet hawkmoth, and Phalasna syringaria feed on it in the caterpillar 
state : the blister beetle, Lytta vesicatoria, from which cantharides is formed, is also found on it. FuUy grown, 
the wood is fit for the turner, and a rose-colored pigment may be prepared from the berries, which, with alum, 
dye wool and silk of a durable green. The berries remain on the tree during winter in elegant purple clusters, 
and are not eaten by birds excepting in very severe weather, when bullfinches and some others feed on them. 
Like most plants that have been long in cultivation, the privet varies in its leaves, flowers, and fruit, and in the 
duration of the former. In its cultivated state it is always evergreen j found wild in woods and hedges, is ge-
