Inocabpus, Forster. From is, a fibrCj and karpos, a 
fruit; alluding to the hbi^Sui' envelopes. Linn. 10, 
Or. 1, Nat. Or. Hernandiaceae. This species, 
known as the Otaheite Chestnut, thrives well in a 
mixture of loam and peat ; and cuttings of the 
ripened wood will root in sand, under a glass. 
“It is a lofty tree, with alternate leaves, and 
flowers in racemes, succeeded by nuts called Rutta, 
in Otaheite. The kernel of these is kidney-shaped, 
about an inch in diameter, and is eaten roasted 
by the inhabitants of the Society and Friendly 
Isles, the New Hebrides, New Guinea, the Molucca 
Isles, &c. It is sweetish, but less pleasant than 
the chestnut, harder, and less farinaceous. The 
bark is astringent, and is used in the dysentery." —

Linn. 5, Or. 1, Nat. Or. Convolvulacece. A most 
beautiful genus of plants, well adapted for the 
rafters, columns, and pillars of the store, cilso for 
trellis-work. I. Horsfalliae is excellently suited 
for training to a trellis, where its beautiful bright 
scarlet flowers make a lovely appearance. They 
thrive in loam and peat, mixed with a little dung; 
and the perennial kinds are multiplied from cut- 
tings in sand without difficulty. The annual and 
biennial kinds should be raised on a hotbed in 
spring, and afterwards treated ar other half hardy 
and tender annuals and biennials. The roots of I. 
Quamoclit are sternutatory. Synonymes: 1. I.
