History, Use, Propagation, Culture, 
407. Allamanda. In memory of Dr. Frederick Allamand, a professor of natural history in the university of 
Leyden, who went to Guiana about 1769, and to Russia about 1776, and sent descriptions, figures, and specimens 
of plants to Linnaeus. It is a milky shrub, of cathartic qualities ; flowers freely, and strikes with ease in a 
moist heat. 
408. Theophrasta. Theophrastus was born at Eresus in Lesbos, 310 years before Christ, and died at the age 
of 83. Linnaeus has justly termed him the prince of botanists. The genus which has been selected to comme- 
morate his name, is a curious prickly-leaved, low plant, native of St. Domingo, where it is called by the negroes 
wild cocoa. In the collections of this country it is rare, and no means has yet been discovered of propagating 
it, except by seeds. 
409. Clavija. Named in honor of Joseph Clavijo Faxardo, a Spanish naturalist, who translated into his own 
language the works of Buffbn. A fine genus of plants, exceedingly rare both in gardens and herbaria. 
410. Vinca. A name, the true origin of which is buried in obscurity. None of the fanciful etymologies 
which have been foimed of it, appear entitled to attention. The Anglo-Saxons called it peruince, the English, 
periwinkle, the French, pervenche. This is a genus of well-known little shrubs, valued for their early and long 
continued flowering, and the hardy species as being evergreens which thrive under the shade and drip of trees. 
V. minor and major, like other plants which run much at the root, very rarely produce seeds. V. rosea is 
continually in flower, and is easily propagated by cuttings under a hand-glass. 
411. Nerium. From v/^nog, damp, the plant growing upon the borders of rivulets, in the southern parts of 
Europe. This is a genus of beautiful evergreen shrubs of easy culture and propagation, and free flowerers 
great part of the year. N. tinctorium affords a blue equal to that of indigo, and it is thought by Dr. Roxburgh 
might be cultivated for that purpose. 
N. oleander is very common in the Levant, and especially in the Isle of Candia, and in Sicily, Magna Graecia,
