Euonymus . The larger Leaves are two 
Inches long* and one broad, or near it; 
from a fmall Beginning they become 
roundifh and broader, and then taper into a 
fharp Point. Some are of an oval Shape, 
fomewhat bent, and irregularly undulated 
lengthways, depreffed in the Middle, with 
the Extremities rolled backward ; they are 
fmooth on both Sides, of a dirty green Co- 
lour, fomewhat lighter on the Back ; where 
the Nerves being raifed pretty much, leave 
fo many Hollows or Furrrows on the oppo- 
fite Side ; they are ferrated or indented, the 
Teeth-being a little bent, hard, obtufe, and 
fet clofe together, but of different Sizes s 
they have one very confpicuous Nerve in 
the Middle, to which anfwers a deep Fur- 
row on the other Side. It is branched on 
each Side into five, fix, or feven thin tranf- 
verfe Ribs, of different Lengths, and bent 
backward near the Edges of the Leaves; 
fome fmal ler Veins run between the tranf- 
verfe Ribs. 
The Leaves , when frefh, are deflitute of 
Smell, and are not as the Bark, ungrateful 
to the Tafie, being indeed aflringent and bit- 
terifh, but not naufeous. They differ in Sub- 
B 2 fiance.
