History, Use, Propagation, Culture, 
are polygamous males, being mixed with the hermaphrodites. The species from the Cape of Good Hope 
rarely flower in this country, and are chiefly cultivated for the sake of their foliage, which is neat and not 
susceptible of injury from bad management. 
R. Coriaria is used instead of oak bark for tanning leather, and it is said that that of Turkey is chiefly tan- 
ned with this plant. The seeds are in common use at Aleppo at meals to provoke an appetite. Both leaves 
and seeds are used in medicine as astringent and styptic. 
R. jav^nica in China affords an oil by bruising the berries and boiling them in water : they use it as a 
varnish, but it does not keep its polish so well as the oil of R. vernix. 
R. glabra has berries which dye red, and the branches boiled with the berries afford a black ink-like 
tincture. This plant is like a weed in some parts of North America, where it overruns land left for a few 
years in pasture. 
R. vernix affords the true Japan varnish, which oozes out of the tree on its being wounded, and grows thick 
and black when exposed to the air. It is so transparent, that when laid pure and unmixed upon boxes or 
furniture, every vein of the wood may be clearly seen. With it the Japanese varnish over the posts of their 
doors and windows, their drawers, chests, boxes, scymitars, fans, tea-cups, soup-dishes, and most articles of 
household furniture made of wood. The milky juice of the plant stains linen a dark brown. The whole 
shrub is in a high degree poisonous ; and the poison is communicated by touching or smelling any part of it. 
In forty -eight hours inflammation appears on the skin, in large blotches, principally on the extremities, and on 
the glandular parts of the body : soon after small pustules rise in the inflamed parts, and fiU with watery 
matter, attended with burning and itching. In two or three days the eruptions suppurate ; after which the 
inflammation subsides, and the ulcers heal in a short time. It operates, however, somewhat differently upon
