ferrug-inea and two species of Magnolia, is now known to be the produce of Cus- 
paria febrifuga (Bonplandia trifoliata IF.), a plant of this family. Humb. 
Cinch, For. p. 38. Eng. ed. Evodia febrifuga, one of the Quinas of Brazil, 
has a bark so powerfully febrifugal as to compete with that of Cinchona. A 
bark much spoken of by the miners of Brazil, under the name of Casca de la- 
rangeira da terra, and in which Cinchonine was detected by Dr. Gomez, pro- 
bably belongs to this tree. PI. Usuelles, no. 4. One of the Quinas of Brazil 
is the Ticorea febrifuga : its bark is a powerful medicine in intermittent fevers. 
Ibid. 16. Hortia Braziliana possesses similar properties, but in a less degree. 
Ibid. 17. An infusion of the leaves of Ticorea jasminiflora is drank in Brazil as 
a remedy for the disease called by the Brazilian Portuguese Bobas, and by the 
French Frambeesia. A. St. HU. Hist. 141. Dictamnus abounds in volatile 
oil to such a degree, that the atmosphere surrounding it actually becomes in- 
flammable in hot weather. Its root was formerly esteemed as a sudorific 
and vermifuge.

Essential Character. — Flowers hermaphrodite, regular. Calyx divided into 4 or 5 
pieces, with convolute aestivation. Petals unguiculate, alternate with the segments of the 
calyx and a little longer, in aestivation, which is usually convolute, at first very short and 
scale-like. Stamens double the number of the petals, dilated at the base, sometimes naked, 
sometimes placed on the back of a small scale, hypogynous. Ovary simple, surrounded 
at the base with glands or a short sinuous disk, more or less deeply 4- or 5-furrowed, with 
4 or 5 cells ; ovules in each cell 2 or more, attached to the inner angle, pendulous, or occa- 
sionally erect ; style simple, usually with 4 or 5 furrows ; stigma simple, or with 4 or 5 
lobes. Fruit capsular, rarely somewhat fleshy, with 4 or 5 angles or wings, bursting by 4 
or 5 valves beaiing the dissepiments in the middle, or into as many close cells ; the sarco- 
carp not separable from the endocarp. Seeds usually fewer than the ovules, either com- 
pressed and scabrous when dry, or ovate and smooth, with a thin herbaceous integument. 
Embryo green ; radicle superior ; cotyledons foliaceous ; albumen whitish, between horny 
and cartilaginous, in Tribulus wanting. Ad.J. — Herbaceous plants, shrubs, or trees, with a
