days they become wrinkled, dry, and of a dark brown color, and are then packed in bags or casks for sale. 
Some kiln-dry them by which the same object is sooner effected. The berries have an agreeable aromatic 
subastringent taste, resembling that of a mixture of cinnamon, cloves, and nutmegs, with the warm pungent 
taste of the cloves ; qualities which reside chiefly in the cortical part of the dri-ed berry, and are better 
extracted by a watery infusion, than by spirit or distillation. They are much used in, the kitchen, and also by 
the druggists to cover the disagreeable taste of other remedies, or to give them warmth. An oil is obtained 
by distillation which is said to be nearly equal to that of oil of cloves, and sometimes substituted for it. 
1124. Olynthia. So named from oXw^o?, a little fig or berry. A genus separated from Myrtus on account 
of the singular manner in which all the parts of the seed are consolidated. A small stove plant common in 
collections. 
1125. Stravadium. The Malabar name of this plant is Tsjera samstravadi, from which Stravadium has 
been contrived. A fine tree with racemose flowers, and large, four-cornered, oblong fruit. A delicate stove 
plant rarely seen. 
1126. Eucalyptus. From sy, well, and xmXvttm, to cover as with a lid ; a name, therefore, with the same 
meaning as Calyptranthes, No. 1122. This genus consists of the loftiest timber trees of New Holland. 
Botanists knowing them principally from dried specimens, their respective heights cannot be stated correctly. 
They are all of the taUest habit, and soon grow beyond the limits of our stoves. In Van Dieman's Island a 
manufactory has been established for the preparation of extract of tannin from the bark of various species of 
Eucalyptus. A considerable quantity of the substance has been imported into England recently, and it is 
said to have been found by the tanners to be twice as powerful in its operation as oak-bark. 
E. resinifera produces a gum resin something like the Kino of druggists (obtained from a species of 
Pterocarpus), and for all medical purposes full as efficacious. 
All the species, Sweet observes, " are fine plants for a large conservatory, as they grow very fast, and are
