Or. 1, Nat. Or. Simarubacex, This valuable tree 
thrives in loam and peat; and cuttings of the 
ripened wood, with their leaves left whole, will 
root in sand, under a glciss, in heat. The wood of 
this tree is well known as one of the most intense 
bitters, and is considered an effectual remedy in 
any disorder where pure bitters are required,

Qukkettia, Lindley. Named after Edwin J. Quekett, 
F.L.S., an excellent botanical observer, and one of 
our best vegetable anatomists. Linn. 20, Or. 1, 
Nat. Or. OrchidacecB. Dr. Lindley says, “although 
this little plant is only a few inches high, tuid has 
no attractions for the vul^r eye, it is in some 
respects one of the most interesting I know, if 
examined microscopically.” It will be found to 
succeed best on wood, treated precisely as the spe- 
cies of Pleurothallii.

Quercus, Linn. From the Celtic qner, fine, and 
cuez, a tree, fine tree ; others derive it from the 
Greek word choiros, a. pi^; because those animals 
feed on the acorns. Linn. 21, Or. 9, Nat. Or. 
CnpulifercB. All the species of this very important 
genus have a highly ornamental appearance, either 
on the lawn or in the forest ; the wood is also much 
superior to that of any other tree, teak alone 
excepted, for the purpose of naval architecture ; 
indeed, there is no purpose in the arts to which the 
wood of the oak is not applii-able. Q. Sober is very 
valuable on account of its being the only tree which 
produces in any quantity that very important 
arti'cle, cork. The bark, leaves, and fruit, of all 
the species abound in astringent matter, and in 
tannin. The oak succeeds best in a deep loamy 
soil, and in a somewhat low situation. The species 
are generally increcised from seed ; and it is only 
when particular varieties are to be perpetuated, 
that grafting is resorted to. The seeds may either 
be sown when they drop from the tree, or they 
may be thoroughly dried, and preserved till the 
following March; previous to sowing, the soil 
should be well prepared, and after the drills are 
opened, or the earth drawn off the beds, the acorns 
may be scattered along the drills or over the beds, 
keeping them about two inches apart ; before 
covering, the acorns must, if sown in beds, be 
patted down with the back of a spade, or the back 
of a wooden headed rake if sovvn in drills. They 
should be covered from half an inch, to an inch and 
a half deep, according to the size of the acorn, with 
finely broken soil. The after culture of the oak 
does not require any notice here. Synonymes : 1.

genus are all very great favourites with cultiva- 
tors, on account of the brilliancy of their flowers.
