Norway to the sea-shore. It abounds in the north of Poland and Lithuania, and is common through Ger- 
many, Switzerland, and Savoy. On a tolerable soil it attains a large size, and the leaves being smooth and of 
a shining green, as large or larger than those of the sycamore, and being seldom eaten or defaced, because the 
tree abounds in a sharp milky juice disliked by insects, they have a much better appearance than those of 
the sycamore ; and in the spring, when the flov/ers are out, which are of a fine yellow color, this tree has great 
beauty. Hanbury observes, that in the autumn the leaves die to a golden yellow color, which produces a 
good eflPect at that season, when the different tints of the decaying vegetable world are displayed. He says 
further, that it is a quick growing tree; arrives at a great bulk, and is one of the Isest trees for sheltering 
habitations. Linnseus recommends it for sheltering walks and plantations ; as yielding a juice from which 
sugar may be made, if it be wounded in the winter; and as cutting out into a white smooth wood, fit for tlie 
stocks of guns, the joiner and the turner. Dr. Hunter observes, that it is a quick grower, arrives at a great 
bulk, and answers all the purposes of the sycamore ; the raising it for use, as well as ornament and variety, 
should not be neglected, {Mill. Gard. Diet.) 
A. striatum has a slender stem, with a smooth bark beautifully varied with green and white stripes, the 
boughs of a shining red in winter. The thickness of the shade, the beauty of the bark, and the tree not being 
liable to insects, render it very desirable for ornamental plantations ; the only objections to it are, that it is 
subject to be injured by storms, and that the abundance of its foliage and seeds occasions a great litter in 
autumn, 
A. campestre forms a very picturesque little tree, and the timber is said to be far superior to that of the 
beech or the sycamore for the purposes of the turner. It is also frequently substituted for that of the hoUy 
and box by the mathematical instrument maker. 
A. Opalus is a noble tree, with large and beautiful foliage, throwing an extensive shade ; it is much prized 
in Italy for planting by avenues and public walks. All the species are easily raised from seed, though the asii- 
leaved and some other species are occasionally propagated by layers and cuttings ; the cuttings should l)e cut 
off at a joint, and, as in the case of most hardy trees and shrubs, they succeed best when planted in tlie autumn 
in a sheltered situation in the open ground. 
2144. 2'fegundium. A genus obviously distinguished from Acer by its pinnated leaves, A fine ornamental 
tree, called in North America black ash. There is another species in China. 
2145. Celtis. One of the names anciently given to the Lotus. Tournefort first applied the name to the 
Tiiotlern genus, which may be said to resemble both in fruit and foliage the shrubby Lotus of the ancients,
