History, Use, Propagation, Culture, 
genus. These are plants with good foliage, but no beauty of blossom. Some of the species are robust enough 
to bear our winters in the open air ; but they are rather tender, and require to be placed in a sheltered situation 
or against a warm wall, and covered with mats during winter. Cuttings root in sand under a hand-glass. The 
stove species are low West Indian trees, and known there under the name of Bully tree. They thrive well 
in loamy soil, or loam and peat, and cuttings will root, but, according to Sweet, " not freely, in sand under a 
hand-glass," being well ripened before they are taken off 
424. Chrysophyllum. From xgua-og, gold, and (fvXXov, a leaf ; all the species having their leaves covered on the 
under surface with dense shining hairs of a bright yellow or white color. C. cainito has large elegant leaves, 
ferruginous underneath ; it forms a tree of considerable size, with slender flexible branches. The leaves and 
fruit, like the Achras, to which the tree is very nearly allied, are fuU of milk, which the fruit retains even in the 
most perfect state. This milk is rough and astringent before the fruit ripens ; but when it grows to full perfec- 
tion, it becomes sweet and gelatinous, with an agreeable clamminess. Being mixed with a small quantity of 
orange juice, it binds the body extremely. The tree is of general and easy culture in Jamaica, and is here 
grown chiefly for its foliage. Sweet says, ripened shoots of all the species taken ofF and planted in sand, will 
root under a hand-glass with a strong moist heat. 
425. Sideroxylon. From a-i^yi^o;, iron, and IvXov, wood ; in aUusion to the hardness of the wood. The specific 
name melanophleum {fx,iXas (pkoto;) means black-bark. The wood of this tree is very close and hard, and so 
heavy as to sink in water. It grows well in loam and peat ; and cuttings somewhat ripened may be struck in 
sand under a hand-glass. 
426. Jacquinia. So named by Linneeus, in honor of James Nic. Jos. de Jacquin, professor of botany at Vienna, 
born at Leyden, in 1727, author of many splendid works. A noble genus, well devoted to perpetuating the 
memory of one of the first of botanists. The name of one of the species armillaris, (from armilla, a garland,) 
has been applied in consequence of the shoots being used by women in America as garlands. This beautiful 
genus requires some care in propagation, but is of easy culture in the bark-stove, in loam and peat, and 
with a moist heat. " Cuttings," Sweet observes, " will strike root with ease in sand, under a hand-glass, in 
heat." 
427. Achras. The Greek name of the wild pear. The root of the word has been thought to have been found 
in ac, the Celtic for a point, in allusion to the many stout spines with which the tree is covered. The word 
Sapota, applied to one of the species, is derived from its Mexican name Cochit-zapotl. This is a genu-s of fruit- 
bearing timber-trees, chiefly natives of the West Indies. A. mammosa, or American marmalade, grows in 
America to the height of 35 or 40 feet, having a straight trunk covered with an ash-colored bark. The branches 
form a regular head ; the leaves a foot in length, and near three inches broad in the middle. The flowers are
