908. Memecylon. The Greek name of the fruit of the Arbutus. The shrub now so called has a certain 
degree of resemblance to the Arbutus. Young cuttings plunged in sand in heat and covered with a hand- 
glass will root freely. 
909. Lagetta. This plant in Jamaica is called Lagetto. Ripened cuttings will root in sand under a hand-
