History, Use, Propagation, Culture, 
In Cambridgeshire. There are other varieties with curled leaves, striped leaves, variegated bark, &c. and 
some consider F. simplicitblia only a variety. F. Americana is a lofty tree, in few respects different from the 
common ash. Those species which do not produce seeds, are readily increased by grafting. 
Little is known of the qualities of the greater part of the numerous varieties of American ash, distinguished 
by Bosc. They probably all form fine trees ; the young plants in our gardens grow freely, and exhibit indi- 
cations of valuable properties as ornamental trees. 
2158. Brosimum. From ^e^ua-tyt^og, good to eat. B. Alicastrum is common in the woods of Jamaica. The 
timber is not despicable ; but the leaves and younger branches are more useful, and a hearty fattening fodder 
for all sorts of cattle. The fruit, boiled with salt tish, pork, beef, or pickle, has been frequently the support of 
the negroes and poorer sort of white people in times of scarcity, and proved a wholesome, and not unpleasant 
food , when roasted, it eats something like our European chestnuts, and is called bread-nut. The leaves and 
younger shoots are full of gum, which renders them disagreeable to most cattle at first, but they soon grow 
very fond of them. 
B. spurium is also common in woods in the West Indies, but its timber is of little value. In our stoves 
both species thrive well, and like loamy soil ; and old cuttings, with their leaves on, root in sand in moist heat. 
2159. Diospyros. From Aio; ■nru^og, the fruit of Jove, or heavenly fruit It has been fancied that the 
European species of this plant produced that famous fruit, which, according to ancient romancers, caused 
oblivion. D. Kaki is a valuable Japanese tree, which bears the fruit sometimes received from China in a dried 
form under the name of dates. D. discolor also bears a fine fruit D. lotus produces fruit the size of a
