History, Use, Propagation, Culture, 
512. Pomaderris. From ■jruiJi.ot,, a lid, and Ssppir, a skin, on account of the membranous lid with which the 
cells of the capsule are covered. New Holland shrubs, with the habit of Ceanothus, from which they are dis- 
tinguishable only by their fruit. Cuttings root freely in sand under a hand-glass. 
513. Mangifera. From Manga or Manghos, the vernacular name of the fruit, and./<?ro, to bear. This is 
a large spreading tree, bearing a fruit in great estimation in the East. The wood is brittle, brown, and used 
only for indifferent works. The leaves are seven or eight inches long, and two or more broad, lanceolate, 
entire, of a shining green, and sweet resinous smell. The flowers are produced in loose bunches at the ends of 
the branches. The fruit is a berried drupe, large, flattened like a lens, kidney-shaped ; the flesh soft and 
pulpy, like a damascene plum ; the shell almost kidney-shaped, of a leathery crustaceous substance, and one- 
ceUed. This fruit, when fully ripe, is yellow and reddish, replete with a fine agreeable juice ; some are full of 
fibres, and the juice runs eut of these on cutting, or with a little handling; but those which have few or no 
fibres are much the finest ; they cut like an apple, but are more juicy, and some are as big as a large man's 
fist. It is esteemed a very wholesome fruit, and, except very fine pine-apples, is preferable to ahy fruit in 
India ; gentlemen there eat little other fruit in the hot months ; but if no wine be drank with it, the Mango 
is apt to throw out troublesome boils, at least with new comers, which are, however, conducive to health. In 
Europe we have only the unripe fruit brought over in pickle. 
Loureiro remarks, that there are many varieties, differing chiefly in the figure, size, color, and taste of the 
fruit, as apples and pears do in Europe. Retzius, on the contrary, affirms, that there are certainly several dis- 
tinct species ; the number of stamens in some being double ; the racemes in others compound ; the fruit kidney, 
shaped, globular, fleshy, almost juiceless, &c. 
According to Sweet, " the Mango ripens fruit in this country, when the plants are of a good size. Sandy loam, 
or a mixture of loam and peat, is most suitable to it, and the pots should be well drained, as the plants are apt to 
get sodden with too much water. Fresh seeds from the West Indies vegetate freelv. The plant may also be 
increased from cuttings, which root best in sand under a hand-glass." {Bot. Cult. 77.) ' 
Knight, Hallet, and some other horticulturists are at present cultivating this tree with a view to its fruit. 
Knight recommends for such trees, training the shoots downwards, and at no great distance from the glass. 
There are trees in the garden of Earl Powis which must bear very soon.
