History, Use, Propagation, Culture, 
consequence greater ; bulk being, in these richer soils and more humid climates, obtained at the expence of 
flavor. In our stoves the coflfee-tree is raised from the berry, which must be sown soon after being gathered ; 
otherwise if kept six weeks it loses its vital powers. Cuttings of ripened wood root in sand under a 
glass in moist heat : transplanted, and furnished with plenty of water and pot room, they flower and fruit 
abundantly. 
480. Chiococca. Snowberry, snow, and xoicaog, berry). Its berries are of a bright whiteness. 
481. Serissa. A name of Commerson's, the meaning of which is not known. The genus is remarkable for 
the trifid segments of corolla. 
482. Canthium. From canti, the Malabar name of the plant. Spiny rigid plants with small opposite leaves, 
and solitary, sessile, usually fragrant, white flowers. 
483. Psychotria. From -^vx'a, life ; in allusion to the powerful medicinal efFects of one of the species, P. 
emetica ; or, as others say, from ■\uxore^o:pov, an ancient name for an herb loving shade. The genus consists of 
a great number of stove plants, nearly all bearing white flowers. Some of them are very beautiful on ac- 
count of their foliage : one species, P. parasitica, is parasitical upon trees in the West Indies. 
484. Hamellia. In honor of the celebrated Henry Louis Du Hamel Du Monceau,born in 1700, died in 1782, 
author of numerous works on vegetable physiology. The genus consists of handsome shrubs of the West 
Indies, with tubular yellow or orange-colored flowers. 
485. Posoqueria. The Galibis in French Guiana call this plant aymara-posoqueri. A fine shrub, with white 
flowers more than a foot long, and an eatable yeUow berry as big as a hen's egg.
