History, Use, Propagation, Culture, 
they often lose great part of their crop ; layers of any kind of shrub whatever, when first taken off, should 
not have a single leaf taken off till they have made fresh root : supposing their tops flag ever so much, 46 
long as there is life it will draw up the sap, and help the plant to root afresh. The Chinese kinds are often 
inarched or budded on M. obovata, which takes readily. {Bot. Cult. 306.) 
1218. Michelia. Named by Linneeus, in honor of Pietro Antonio Micheli, of Florence, author of Nova 
Plantarum Genera, Flor. 1729, fol. A lofty tree, with fragrant flowers, and fruit edible, but not agreeeable. 
In our stoves it grows well in light loam, and cuttings root in sand under a glass and plunged in heat. 
1219. Uvaria. The fruit grows in bunches like a small bunch of grapes, whence it has been called Uvaria 
from Uva. The berries are considered a specific for gonorrhoea, and are used under the name of cubebs. 
These are trees or shrubs with erect or trailing stems, and 1-4-flowered axillary peduncles. 
1220. Anona. This is called by the Malays, manoa, and at Banda, menona, which it is presumed that the 
Europeans have corrupted into Anona. As the word signifies in Latin food, it has been adopted by Linnaeus 
in this sense, because of the habitual use made of the fruit by the Americans. The species are for the most 
part fruit trees, with soft pulpy subacid berries, sometimes as large as an orange, but generally more like a plum. 
A. muricata is common in every savannah of Jamaica, flowering in the spring. The large succulent fruit 
is agreeable to new-comers and over-heated habits ; but it is so common, and so much in use among the 
negroes, that it is now hardly ever used among the better sort of people. The smell and taste of the fruit, 
flowers, and whole plant, resemble very much those of black currants. 
A. tripetala is a large tree with large bright green leaves. The fruit is oblong, scaly on the outside, and of 
a dark purple color when ripe ; the flesh is soft and sweet, and has many brown seeds intermixed with it 
which are very smooth and shining. It is esteemed by the Peruvians as one of their most delicate sorts. 
A. palustris grows wild in soft marshy places in Jamaica, and bears a fine sweet-scented fruit, of no dis- 
agreeable flavour ; but it is said to be a strong narcotic, and is not eaten on that account. It is called 
alligator apple. The wood of this tree is so very soft, even after it is dried, that it is frequently used by the 
country people instead of corks, to stop up their jugs and calabashes j whence it has now universally obtained 
the name of cork-wood in Jamaica. {Browne.) 
To bear fruit in our stoves, these trees require a rich loamy soil, rather moist, and to be trained on a wall 
or trellis close under the glass. Ringing would also be useful. They are propagated by ripened cuttings, of a 
good size, with their leaves on, planted in sand, and plunged in heat.
