History, Use, Propagation, Culture^ 
2140. Terminalia. Because the leaves grow in bunches at the termination of the branches. The species 
grow in loam and peat, and ripened cuttings, with their leaves on, will root in sand closely covered. 
2141. Fusanus. The ancient name of the Euonymus. This plant resembles it in foliage. A little Cape 
shrub, formerly included in Thesium. 
2142. Brabejum, From QpcaQuov, a sceptre. The elegant racemes of splendid flowers may well be compared 
to a sceptre. 
2143. Acer. A Latin word signifying vigorous or sharp. The wood was formerly manufactured into the 
heads of pikes and other weapons. The species consist of trees, most of them yielding a saccharine juice from 
the trunk, branches, and leaves. A. Pseudo-Platanus, Plane tree, Scot, grows wild in Switzerland, Germany, 
Austria, and Italy. It is remarkably hardy, and will grow with an erect stem, exposed to the highest winds, 
or to the sea-breeze. It is in leaf by the middle of April; and on their first appearance the leaves are of a 
pleasant green, but they exude a clammy juice so abundantly, that they attract a variety of insects, which 
soon perforate and disfigure them. The flowers of none of the species are of any beauty. The shade of the 
tree is said to do less damage to pasture than most trees. The timber was formerly much used by the turner, 
and is still in repute by the saddle-tree maker and the millwright. In spring and autumn, if the trunk be 
pierced, it yields abundance of juice, from which a good wine may be made, or sugar to a certain extent pro- 
cured by evaporation. A. rubrum grows in swamps in Pennsylvania, where the natives use it for almost all 
sorts of wood-work ; with the bark they dye a dark blue, and make a good black ink. The Canadians tap the 
tree for the juice, of which they make sugar and treacle. The scarlet flowers of this species come out in 
spring before the leaves ; they are without petals, and have not more than six stamens. 
A. saccharinum bears a considerable resemblance to A. platanoides, especially when young. From this 
tree, and probably also from other species, the inhabitants of North America make a very good sort of sugar. 
The trees are tapped in February, March, and April, during warm days and frosty nights. The incision is 
made with an axe or auger, or about two inches deep. A spout of sumach or elder is introduced, through 
which the sap flows, from four to six weeks, into a trough, whence it is carried daily to a larger receiver ; 
from which it is conveyed after being strained to the boiler. The boiling and refining process is or should be 
carried on in the same manner with that for the cane sugar in the West Indies. A tree of an ordinary size 
yields in a good season from twenty to thirty gallons of sap, from which are made from five to six pounds of 
granulated sugar. 
A, platanoides grows on the mountains of the northern counties of Europe, descending in some places ot
