a7id Miscellaneous Particulars. 
The honey made from the flowers of the lime tree is reckoned the finest in the world. Near Kowno in 
Lithuania, there are large forests chiefly of this tree, and probably a distinct variety or species. The honey 
produced in these forests sells at more than double the price of any other, and is used exclusively in medicine 
and for mixing with liqueurs. {Encyc. of Agric. ; Poland and Hungary.) 
1187. Corchorus. Ko^xo^os, the Greek name of a culinary vegetable, supposed to be the same as that noAv 
known as C. olitorius. C. olitorius is sown in great plenty about Aleppo as a pot herb, the Jews boiling the 
leaves to eat with their meat, whence in French it is called Mauve-dc-Juif. The other species are weeds. 
1188. Grias. From y^xco, to eat. Tlie fruit is eaten in the West Indies under the name of the Anchovy 
pear. The uprightness of the growth and the largeness of the leaves give this tree a very elegant appearance. 
The fruit is about the size of an aliigator's egg, and much like it in shape, only a little more acute at one end, 
and of a brown russet color. It is frequent in many parts of Jamaica, and grows generally in low moist 
bottoms or shallow water, where the fruit is pickled and eaten in the same manner with the East Indian 
mango, which it exactly resembles in taste. It grows in a loamy soil, and large cuttings, Sweet observes, 
succeed best in the same soil under a hand-glass in heat. 
1189. Calophyllum. From y.aXo;, beautiful, and ifvXXov, a leaf, on account of its large beautifully veined 
leaves. C. Inophyllum [tg fibre, because the middle nerve of the leaf seems to ramify into a multitude of 
fibres) is a very large tree, with leaves like a water lilly, snow-white fragrant flowers, and fruit like a walnut. 
The trunk when wounded exudes a viscid yellowish juice, frequently hardening to a gum. It is common in 
Malabar, in sandy soils, and bears fruit twice a year, in March and September, frequently to the age of three 
hundred years. An oil is expressed from the nuts to burn in lamps, to assuage pains, and to make ointments. 
The bark and gum is also used for medical purposes. In Java, &c. they plant this tree about their houses, 
for the elegance of the shade and the sweetness of the flowers. 
C. Calaba (the name among the Caribs) branches from the ground upwards, and is therefore well adapted 
for tree hedges. It has a green fruit not unlike our cornelian cherry, which is eaten by the natives, and an 
oil is expressed from it for lamps. Both species grow freely in a light loamy soil, and ripe cuttings are readily 
struck in sand under a glass and plunged in heat. (Sweet.) 
1190. Mammea. An alteration of its American name, Mmney. The name having some resemblance to the 
I-atin word mammae a teat, Linnasus attributed the derivation to that word, on account of the large fleshy 
pointed nature of its fruit. Abricot-sauvage, Fr. A handsome tree with a spreading elegant head, like tliose
