Artocarpus, Linn. From artos, bread, and carpos^ 
fruit; in allusion to the well-known name and 
uses of the bread-fruit. Linn. 21, Or. 1, Nat. Or. 
Urticacex. To this genus belongs the bread-fruit 
tree of the South Sea Islands They are difficult to 
cultivate in this country ; a light rich loamy soil 
is best adapted to them. Sweet says, “ they have 
been generally treated too tenderly, and not allowed 
sufficient air. They appear to be of the same 
nature as the fig, to which they are nearly allied. 
Large cuttings root freely in a pot of sand, plunged 
under a handjglass, in a moist heat, with all their 
leaves entire ; if the leaves are shortened, it is a 
great chance if they succeed.” For further par- 
ticulars respecting this very valuable genus, see 
Loudon's Encyclopedia of Plants.

Arum, Linneus. Formerly aron, supposed to be an 
ancient Egyptian word. Linn. 21, Or. 9, Nat. Or. 
Aracee. This genus contains some very handsome 
species, while others are only useful on account of 
their medicinal qualities ; the flowers are generally 
very disagreeable, hence they are not favourites ; 
they all succeed in any common soil, and increase 
with little trouble from offsets. Synonymes : 1.
