History, Use, Propagation, Culture, 
2056. Nageia. Nagi is the Japanese name of one of the species. That in the gardens is an uninteresting 
shrub with a loose elegant foliage, and a light grey bark. Ripened cuttings strike freely in a bark pit. 
2057. Shepherdia. A name given by Nuttall to the Hippophae canadensis of our gardens, in honor of Mr. 
William Shepherd, the worthy curator of the Liverpool botanic garden. A small inelegant tree, with dark 
green deciduous leaves, covered over with brownish silvery scales on the lower side. 
2058. Hippophae. An ancient name given to some plant now unknown, which was applied medicinally to 
horses ; from <Wa?, a horse, and cp<x,a,, to give light. H. rhamnoides is very prolific in berries, which are yellow 
when ripe, succulent, smooth, and gratefully acid to the taste. They are much eaten by the Tartars ; and the 
fishermen of the Gulph of Bothnia prepare a rob from them, which imparts a grateful flavor to fresh fish. 
Every part of the plant will dye yellow. The speoies grow in common soil, and are readily increased by layer* 
or cuttings of the roots. 
2059. Broussonetia. Named by L'Heritier, in honor of his countryman P. N. V. Broussonet, a well known 
naturalist, who travelled in Barbary, and published an Ichthyologia in 1782. This is a vigorous growing shrub 
or low tree, with large lobed leaves, variously shaped ; the foliage of the male and female plant differing so 
much from each other that they might easily be taken for distinct species. The fruit is little larger than peas, 
and from the bark the Chinese make paper, and the Otaheitans cloth. 
B. papyrifera, though a low tree, produces vigorous shoots, furnished with large leaves. The fruit is little 
larger than peas, surrounded with long purple hairs, when ripe changing to a black purple color, and full of 
sweet juice. In China and Japan it is cultivated as we do osiers, for the sake of the young shoots, from the 
bark of which the inhabitants of the east countries make paper. The bark being separated from the wood is 
steeped in water, and the inner bark separated from the outer ; the former making the whitest and best paper. 
The bark is next slowly boiled, then washed, and afterwards put on a wooden table and beaten into a pulp. 
This pulp being put in water, separates like grains of meal. An infusion of rice and the root of manihot is 
next added to it. From the liquor so prepared, the sheets of paper are poured out one by one, and when 
pressed, the operation is finished. 
The juice of this tree is sufficiently tenacious to be used in China as a glue, in gilding either leather or 
paper. The finest and whitest cloth worn by the principal people at Otaheite and in the Sandwich Islands is 
made of the bark of this tree. The cloth of the Bread-fruit tree is inferior in whiteness and softness, and 
worn chiefly by the common people. 
2060. Schcefferia. So called after James Christian SchafFer, a German naturalist of celebrity, who is best 
known by his excellent work on the Fungi of Bavaria, published in 1762. An inelegant shrub with green
