1613. Beaufortia. So called in honor of Mary, Duchess of Beaufort, who died January 7, 1714, in the 85th 
year of her age. She had a fine collection of plants at Badmington, in Gloucestershire, during the life-time of 
her husband, Henry, first duke of Beaufort. Splendid plants, free-growers, and abundant flowerers, with com- 
mon greenhouse treatment, in two-thirds peat, and one-third loam. Cuttings, Sweet found to answer best 
when " taken from nearly ripened wood, planted in sand, and covered with a bell-glass."

so as to seem but one. A tree with oblong fragrant shining leaves, and sweet-smelling flowers, succeeded by sub- 
sessile drupes. A decoction of the leaves is used in North America for dying linen and silk of a bright yellow color. 
1615. Citrus. The meaning of this word has escaped the ingenuity of etymologists. An ancient genus, com- 
bining in its species many excellencies, handsome evergreen shining tree-like forms, most odoriferous flowers, 
and brilliant, fragrant, delicious fruits. It is one of the most striking of fruit-bearing trees, and must have 
attracted the notice of aboriginal man long before other fruits of less brilliancy, but of more nutriment or 
flavor. The golden apples of the heathens, and forbidden fruit of the Jews, are supposed to allude to this 
family, though it is remarkable that we have no authentic records of any species of Citrus having been known ; 
certainly none were cultivated by the Romans, The citron was introduced into Europe from Media, under 
the name of malus medica, and was first cultivated in Italy by Palladius, in the second century. The orange
