§ Prunus , by the laws of botany, is a genus , which contains as its relati ve species, 
the plumy cherry, apricot*, and laurel), with their several varieties; but Mr. Miller 
thinks that the plum and cherry ought.to have had a separate genus, as they will 
not grow upon each other, either by budding or grafting; though it is said by 
some, that a cherry will grow on a plum-stock* but not a plum on a cherry-stock. 
Prunus Cerasus , (the cherry) ^ Linnaeus retains the Latin name Cerasus , as being 
supposed the native place ; the town is situated in Natolia* on the banks of the 
Euxine or Black Sea> famous for cherries, and from whence Lucullus first brought 
them into Italy, 
H The cralcegus , sorlus , and mespilus , are very near allied, the females in each 
vary as to number: The leaves, of cratcegus are angled, of sorbu$. are feathered, of 
mespilus commonly entire,.
