History, Use, Propagation, Culture, 
cies of Cedrela. This tree shoots out many side branches towards the top, which are furnished with winged 
leaves, composed of 16 or 18 pair of leaflets, so that they are sometimes near three feet long. The flowers are on 
a branching raceme, and the fruit a woody capsule about the size of a pigeon's egg. The bark, leaves, and fruit 
have, when fresh, a smell like assafoetida, but the timber has a pleasant smell. In the British West India 
islands the tree has the common name of cedar. The trunk is so large as to be hollowed out into canoes and 
periaguas, for which purpose it is extremely well adapted ; the wood being soft, it may be cut out with great faci- 
lity, and being light, it will carry a great weight on the water. There are canoes in the West Indies which have 
been formed out of these trunks forty feet long and six broad : the wood is of a brown color, and has a fragrant 
odor, whence the title of cedar has been given to it. It is frequently cut into shingles for covering houses, and 
is found very durable ; but as the worms are apt to eat this wood, it is not proper for building ships, though it is 
often used for that purpose, as also for sheathing of ships. It is often used for wainscoting of rooms, and to 
make chests, because vermin do not so frequently breed in it, as in many other sorts of wood, this having a very 
bitter taste, which is communicated to whatever Is put into the chests, especially when the wood is fresh ; for 
which reason it is never made into casks, because spirituous liquors will dissolve part of the resin, and thereby 
acquire a very bitter taste. Cuttings of Cedrela strike root under a hand-glass in sand. 
532. Hovenia. Named after David Hoven, a Dutch commissary in Japan, who gave facilities and encourage- 
ment to Thunberg while in that country. A small tree, nearly hardy. Its fruit is eaten in China and Japan, and 
is said to resemble a Bergamot pear in taste. 
533. Brunia. So named after Cornelius Brun, a traveller into the Levant and Russia at the end of the last and 
beginning of the present century. This, Sweet observes, " is a pretty Cape genus ; its species are pretty bushy 
shrubs, with heath-like leaves, and are handsomest while young. The flowers are not so showy as in many other 
genera, but some of them are very elegant. A sandy peat soil suits them best, with a moderate supply of water ; 
and young cuttings planted in sand under a bell-glass will strike root freely." {Bot. Cult. 153.) 
534. Brosscea. Gui de la Brosse was physician to Louis XIII, and in 1626 procured the establishment at 
Paris of the Jardin des Plantes, of which he was the first director. A very doubtful plant. It is said to be a 
shrub like a Cistus, with scarlet flowers half an inch long. 
53.5. Itea. From the Greek name of the willow. The name Salix having been given to the modern 
willow, that of Itea has been applied to a plant resembling the willow in leaves and place of growth. This is a 
handsome plant which thrives well either in peat-soil or sandy loam, and is increased by layers.
