and disorders of the kidnies. Mixed with lemon-juice and a gum, it makes the crimson paint with which 
the Indians adorn their persons. It was formerly used by dyers to form the color called aurora ; but at 
present it is not held in much estimation as a dye, though it still maintains its ground with painters. Arnotto 
is well known to be the drug which is used for dying cheese in Gloucestershire, under the name of cheese- 
coloring. It is used in Holland for coloring their butter. The bark makes good ropes for the common 
plantation uses in the West Indies ; and pieces of the wood are used by the Indians to procure fire by 
friction. 
1179. Prockia. A name of unknown meaning. American or Isle of France plants with alternate entire or 
toothed leaves, and yellow flowers, which are occasionally unisexual. 
1180. Sloanea. Named by Plumier, in memory of the famous Sir Hans Sloane, Bart., physician to the king, 
and president to the Royal Society ; author of the Natural History of Jamaica, and founder of Chelsea 
garden and hospital. The leaves are like those of the chesnut ; the flowers very large, and the fruit as big as 
a tennis ball, armed all over with strong spines, and divided regularly into four cells, each containing one small 
chesnut. It grows freely in our stoves, and ripened cuttings root in sand under a hand-glass. 
1181. Apeiba. The vernacular name of the plant in Guiana. Tibourbou and Petoumo are vernacular 
names among the Caribs. The species grow freely in light loamy soil. Cuttings must be well ripened, and 
the glass they are put under should have a little air given it occasionally, or they will damp off. The best way 
of flowering it, is to cut a ring round the bark of a large branch, which stagnates it and throws it into flower,

1182. Sparmannia. In memory of Anders or Andrew Sparrman, a Swede, fellow of the Academy of 
Sciences at Stockholm, who travelled into China, the Cape of Good Hope, and the islands of the South Sea. 
His travels were published in London, 1785, quarto, and there are many descriptions by him in the Philoso- 
phical and other transactions. It is a beautiful shrub with snowy white petals, and singular nectaries. It 
grows freely in loam and peat, and cuttings root in sand under a hand-glass. 
1183. Entelea. From iyrO.'/j;, perfect. So named by Mr. Brown, because all its filaments are fertile; by 
which character, among others, it is distinguished from Sparmannia. A fine New Zealand plant, discovered 
originally by the botanists with Sir Joseph Banks in Cook's second voyage. 
1184. Muntingia. Named by Plumier, after Abraham Munting, professor of botany at Groeningen, died 
in 1682. Calabura is an American name. The flowers resemble those of the bramble, and the fruit cherries 
It grows in Jamaica on calcareous subalpine hills, flowering in spring ; and in St. Domingo in the wet parts of 
woods, flowering in August and September. In our stoves it grows freely in light loam, and cuttings root in
