v/ill root freely in sand under a bell or hand-glass. The cuttings must not be planted too thick, or they will be 
liable to damp. C. speciosa has generally been reckoned difficult to strike from cuttings, but it roots as freely as 
the others if properly managed, and requires the same treatment." 
881. Mimusops. From /ji-ilco?, an ape, and o-^i;, figure. The flowers are thought to resemble the coun- 
tenance of a monkey. Ripened cuttings root readily in sand under a hand-glass. 
882. Ornitrophe. From nevtg, a bird, and r^oif-,?, nourishment. Its fruit is much eaten by small birds. In the 
Isle de France it is called bois de merle, or thrush-wood. Cuttings root in sand under a hand-glass. 
883. Dimocarpus. From ht^viu,oi, double, and ^ici^^ros, fruit j its fruit grows in pairs. These are fruit-bearing 
trees, cultivated in China. The fruit is a berry in bunches of a red color, and rather larger than the grape. 
The bunches are small ; the skin of the berry is tough and leathery ; the pulp is colorless, semitransparent, 
and of a slightly sweet subacid taste. The fruit of D. Litchi is frequently brought to England dried like 
raisins ; that of D. Longan has been ripened by John Knight, Esq. of Lee Castle, in a lofty stove, erected for 
the purpose of growing tropical fruits. A bunch was presented to the Horticultural Society, in September 
1816, " supposed to be the only one ever produced in Europe, and which persons well acquainted with the 
long-yen in its native places of growth,' pronounced to be quite as good as those grown within or near the 
tropics." (Hort. Trans, ii. 408.) 
884. Melicocca. From f^ciXt, honey, and a^xxos, fruit ; its fruit, which resembles the yolk of an egg, has a 
very sweet flavour mixed with a little acid. This tree is cultivated in some parts of South America and in 
Jamaica for its fruit, which grows to the size of a large plum, and is very mellow. The natives suck it for the 
sake of the salivation which it produces. In our stoves it thrives well in light loamy soil, and cuttings root in 
sand un<ler a hand-glass in heat. 
885. Blighia. Named in honor of the famous Captain Bligh, who first carried the bread-fruit to the West 
Indies. This is an esteemed African fruit tree with a reddish or yellow pome, about the size of a goose's egg.
