History, Use, Propagation, Culture, 
2154. Charruerops. This word is said by etymologists to be synonymous with or x«'l^»'^?'^» 
a dwarf oak. The modern genus consists of ornamental palms, which are fine hardy greenhouse 
plants. 
2155. Gleditschia. Called in honor of John Gottlieb Gleditsch, a native of Leipzig, and member of the 
academy of Berlin, and the author of several works, among which his Arrangement of P'ungi, published in 
17.53, and his Botanical System, are the most remarkable. G. triacanthos, the honey locust of North America, 
attains the size of a large tree, but very seldom flowers and ripens its seeds in this country. All the species 
grow in common garden soil, and are generally raised from seeds. 
21.56. Ceratonia. This name has been derived from fci^oe.;, a horn, in allusion to the long horn-like pods of 
this plant, which contain a sweet foecula, for the sake of which they are often imported from Spain under the 
name of the Algaroba bean. This last word is a slight alteration, by the prefix of the article al, of the Arabic 
name of the tree, Kharroitb, whence also our English name Carob-tree. This is generally considered the 
locust-tree of scripture ; and in Spain, where the seeds are eaten, it is called Saint John's bread. Ignorance of 
eastern manners and natural history, Professor Martin observes, induced some persons to fancy that the 
locusts on which John the Baptist fed, were the tender shoots of plants, and that the wild honey was the 
pulp of the pod of the Carob, whence it had the name of Saint John's bread. There is better reason to 
suppose, he adds, that the shells of the carob pod might be the husks which the prodigal son desired to partake
