Olka, Linn. From elaia, olive. Linn. 2, Or. 1, Nat. 
Or. Oleacece. The Olive is a very important genus 
of plants, on account of the oil, &c., which is ob- 
tained, chiefly from some of the varieties of O. 
europcea. They are also much admired for the 
fragrance of their flowers, which render them 
worthy of a place in every collection. They grow 
well in loam and peat ; ripened cuttings root rea- 
dily in sand, under a glass. They may also be 
increased by grafting on the common privet. Sy-
