History, Use, Propagation, Culture, 
of Magnolia grandiflora, and odoriferous white flowers on peduncles. The fruit is roundish, with a leathery 
rind, inclosing one thinner, containing a firm bright yellow pulp, having a pleasant singular taste, and a sweet 
aromatic smell ; but the skin and seeds are very bitter and resinous. It is eaten raw alone, or cut in slices 
with wine or sugar, or preserved in sugar. In Martinico they distil the floWers with spirit, and make a liquor 
which they call Eau Creole. 
Some horticulturists are now attempting its culture in our stoves as a fruit tree. It grows freely in sandy 
loam, and ripened cuttings, with the leaves not shortened, root in sand mider a hand-glass in heat. (Sweet.) 
1191. Ochna. The Greek name of the wild pear tree, to which the genus so distinguished by Linnseus 
has no kind of resemblance. The species are pretty free- flowering plants, with shining serrated leaves, and 
long racemes of beautiful yellow flowers. They grow freely in loam and peat, and cuttings root readily in 
sand under a hand-glass. 
1192. ElcBocarpus. From tXa-ia,, the olive, and xK^Tsfe?, fruit, in allusion to the shape of its fruit. The 
stones cleaned from the pulp, and set in gold, are formed into necklaces. The species thrive in loam and peat, 
and cuttings root in sand under a hand-glass. 
1193. Alangium. So denominated by Lamarck, from a slight alteration of one of its Malabar names, Alangi, 
It grows in light sandy soil, and cuttings root in sand under a hand-glass in moist heat. (Sweet.) 
1194. Mentzelia. Named after Christian Mentzel, a Prussian, physician to the Elector of Brandenburg ; he 
died in 1701. Curious plants related to Loasa. 
1195. Lagerstrcemia. So named by Linnaeus from Magnus Lagerstroem, of Gottenburgh, director of the 
Swedish East India Company, who procured many curiosities from China, and gave them to the pubhc. L. 
reginas is a very handsome shrub : the flowers are in panicles, a span long, pale rose-colored in the morning, 
growing deeper through the day, and becoming purple in the evening. According to Sweet, this species 
is rather difficult to preserve through the winter ; it requires a good heat, and but little water in winter ; 
if it happens to have too much wet, it is a great chance if it survives : in summer it grows very fast, and 
requires plenty of room and water. Cuttings of both kinds root readily in sand, under a hand-glass. (Bot. 
Cult. 73.) 
1196. Mgle. KiyX-n was one of the Hesperides. Correa de Serra named the genus Mgle from the fruit 
having some resemblance to the orange. Sweet observes, that this plant likes a rich loamy soil. The wood
