and Miscellaneous Particulars. 
have fine red twigs ; the wood of the first is equal to that of the cornel for hardness, and makes excellent mill 
cogs, bobbins for lace, toothpicks, and butchers' skewers. An oil may be extracted from the berries, by boil- 
ing and pressing. C. sericea from its large leaves, whitish underneath, and its terminating branches of white 
flowers, is valuable for the shrubbery or lawn. All the species may be propagated by seeds, layers, suckers, or 
cuttings ; the second is the most common mode. 
C. sanguinea is very common in woods, and after a smothered combustion, alFords a charcoal esteemed the 
best for entering into the composition of gunpowder. It grows in the shade and drip of other trees, and is 
therefore a valuable plant for thickening strips of plantations which have become naked below. 
C. suecica is called by the Highlanders Lus-a-chrasis, or plant of gluttony, from its berries, which are eaten by 
the children, being supposed to create an appetite. This plant is difficult to preserve in gardens : a bed of peat 
in a shady situation, and kept moist, is the most suitable for it ; or it may be planted in small pots of peat, and 
treated as an alpine. 
307. Santalum. From its Persian name Sundul-sufed. It is a low tree in habits ; leaves and inflorescence 
a good deal resembling the privet. It produces the white and yellow sandal wood of the materia medica, 
formerly thought to be the produce of different trees. But in India, as in a certain degree in every other 
country, most trees when large and old, become colored towards the centre, and when the sandal tree becomes 
large, its centre acquires a yellow color, and great fragrance and hardness ; while the exterior part of the same 
tree that covers the colored part is less firm, white, and without fragrance. It is only the yellow part that is in 
use, being in universal esteem for its fragrance. According to Wathen {Voy. to China, 1812, p. 116.), it sells so 
high that the tree is seldom allowed to grow more than a foot in diameter. It is manufactured into musical 
instruments, small cabinets, oscrutoires, boxes, and similar articles, as no insect can exist, or iron rust (as it is
