mucilage, and is employed by the Brazilians as an antisyphilitic.

Order XXVI. TREMANDRE^. 
A very small order containing only seven species, all small bushes, natives of New Holland, and remarkable 
for the pA;uliar neatness of their appearance. In habit, they may be compared to heaths, with which they 
agree in the anthers bursting by a pore at the end. Nothing is known of their properties. 
879 Tetratheca Sm. 
Order XXVII. TILIACEiE. 
Trees, shrubs, oi herbs, in general not remarkable for their beauty, the greater part of the last being the 
commonest weeds of the tropics. The Lime, from which the order derives its name, is a genus of fine trees 
with fragrant flowers, and Sparmannia and Entel^a are handsome broad-leaved greenhouse arborescent 
plants. The inner bark of Tilia is tough and separable, and supplies the material whence the Russia mats 
used by gardeners and others are prepared. Corchorus olitorius is cultivated in Egypt as a kitchen-garden 
vegetable ; the fibres of the bark of Corchorus capsularis are twisted into fishing lines ; and the roasted nuts of 
the Lime tree are reported to bear some resemblance to chocolate.

Order XXVIIL EL^OCARPE^. 
These differ from Tiliacese in nothing except their lobed petals and anthers opening by two pores at the 
apex. The flowers of some of the species of Elaocarpus are fragrant, the fruit eatable, and the hard rugose 
stones manufactured into necklaces. 
1192 ElcEOcarpus TV. 
Order XXIX. SAPINDACEiE. 
One of the distinctive peculiarities of this order consists in the petals having an additional lobe in the 
inside, or a tuft of hairs instead. Nearly all the plants have compound leaves, and bunches of white flowers ; 
a few of them are twining herbs, but the greater part are trees or shrubs, all natives of the warmer parts of 
the world, and in a great proportion, of the East. The only genus which will bear the climate of England is 
Kolreuteria, a fine shrub or small tree, with panicles of white or pale yellow flowers. Nephelium and 
Dimocarpus are both genera bearing excellent fruit. The rind of the berry of Sapindus saponaria is of a 
soapy quality, as the name of the plant indicates. The pulp of Melic6cca, the arillus of BHghia sapida, and 
the kernel of Bertholletea and Pekea are all excellent eating.

Order XXX. HIPPOCASTANE^E.. 
The only genus is .ffi'sculus, from which some botanists have divided the smooth-fruited species under the 
name of Pavia. The order is much valued for the grandeur of the foliage and flowers of most of the species, 
which are all hardy trees. Their bitter fruit has sometimes been used as a sternutatory ; it contains a large 
quantity of potash, and an abundance of starch. The bark is astringent, bitter, and febrifugal, and has been 
recommended as a substitute for Cinch6na. 
866 ^'sculus TV. 
Order XXXI. HIPPOCRATICE^. 
Little is known of this order. The species are tropical arborescent or climbing shrubs, with opposite simple 
leaves, and small inconspicuous flowers. The genus Tonsella, of which there is none in cultivation, contains 
some species known in Sierra Leone as bearing poisonous fruit. 
83 Hippocratea L. 
Order XXXII. MARCGRA AVIACE^. 
Very curious half-climbing shrubs, all natives of hot countries. Some of them bear among the flowers, 
which are large and showy, singular hollow bodies, like the pitchers of Sarrac^nia. The order has been well 
illustrated by Professor Hooker, in the 160th article of his Exotic Flora. 
1163 Marcgraavia TV. 
Order XXXIII. ACERINE^. 
Valuable trees, native of the woods of Europe, Siberia, and North America. Their flowers are in all' cases 
inconspicuous ; the breadth and rich color of their leaves constituting their beauty. All the larger species 
abound in a very saccharine sap, from which sugar is prepared in North America j it is chiefly made from 
A'cer saccharinum and Negundium, but may be obtained from many others.

Order XXXIV. MALPIGHIACE^. 
Undulated unguiculate spreading petals form one of the most obvious characters of this order, the species of 
which are all tropical, and are either trees or shrubs, often climbers. Many of the Malpighias are well known
