History, Use, Propagation, Culture., 
would be, if the plants stay out till they are in bloom. Cuttings taken off at a joint, and planted in sand, 
without being deprived of any of their leaves, strike root readily under a hand-glass in moist heat." {Bot. 
Cult. 54.) 
1522. Butea. Named in honor of the late Earl of Bute, a munificent patron of botanical science. This 
splendid genus, though of free growth and easy propagation, is yet rare in British collections. From B. fron- 
dosa is obtained the Gum lac of commerce. Infusions of the flowers dye cotton cloth, previously impregnated 
with a solution of alum, or of alum and tartar, of a beautiful yellow color. The plant grows in loam and peat, 
and " cuttings should be taken oft' at a joint, and planted in a pot of sand, without being deprived of any of their 
leaves : one pot is enough under a hand-glass, as the leaves take up much room, and, if too confined, are apt 
to damp off! They should be plunged in a moist heat." {Bot. Cult. oO.) 
1523. Viborgia ; usually written iViborgia, received its name after M. Eric Viborg, a learned and acute 
Danish botanist, author of several botanical treatises in his own language in the end of the eighteenth century. 
The species, like those of the four preceding genera, may be treated as Scottia. 
1524. Piscidia. From piscis, a fish ; the inhabitants of America use the bark as a fish poison. This tree has 
spreading branches and pinnate leaves, and is very common in Jamaica, where it is reckoned one of the best 
timber-trees in the island. The wood is very hard and resinous, and lasts almost equally in or out of water. 
It is of a light-brown color, coarse, cross-grained, and heavy. {Browne.) It makes excellent piles for wharfs. 
The stakes soon form a good live fence. The bark of the trunk is very astringent ; a decoction of it stops 
the immoderate discharge of ulcers, especially when it is combined with the mangrove bark ; it cures the 
mange in dogs, and would probably answer well for tanning leather. {Long, 824.) The bark of the root is used 
for tlie same purposes and with the same effects as the leaves and branches of Surinam poison ; it is pounded 
and mixed with the water in some deep and convenient part of a river or creek, when ce it may spread itself ;
