clothed with their proper white membrane, entirely fepa- 
rate from the feeds. Receptacle a flelhy fubftance adher¬ 
ing to the perforation of the partition, and diffufed over 
the whole internal furface of the feed. Seed in each cell 
one, ovate-rounded; on one fide convex, fmooth, and na¬ 
ked ; on the other (lightly concave, covered with a fpongy 
fubftance from the receptacle, ferruginous or rufefcent. 
Linnaeus and Adanfon aflign four feeds to the fruit, ac¬ 
cording to the Hortus Malabaricus. Gsertner could never 
difcover more than two. Loureiro fays, the berry is fmajl, 
emarginate, crowned, two-celled, with one feed in each 
cell, rounded on the outfide, flat on the inner fide. Na¬ 
tive of the Eait Indies, China, and Cochin-china. Intro¬ 
duced here in 1690, by Mr. Bentick. Cultivated by Mr. 
Miller in 1768 ; and fince by Dr. Fothergillat Upton, Mr. 
Thoburn, nurferyman at Rrompton, &c. 
2. Ixora alba, or white ixora : leaves lanceolate-ovate ; 
flowers in bundles. Stem woody, fix or feven feet high, 
fending out weak branches. Flowers terminating in fmall 
clutters ; they have long (lender tubes, divided into four 
fegments at top, and are white, without fcent. Native of 
the Eaft Indies and Cochin-china.

fix inches long, two inches anda half broad, on Ihort foot- 
ftalks. Flowers at the ends of the branches in a loofe 
fpike ; they are white, and have a fcent like jeflamine. In 
the Ameenitates Academicae it is faid to be a tree, with 
the leaves in threes, on long petioles, lanceolate-ovate, 
fmooth, quite entire, with a ftipule to each petiole; the 
feed involved in an arillus, whence it is allied to the Cof- 
fea ; the tube and border of the corolla much fliorter than 
in the other ixoras. Native of Jamaica. 
4. Ixora fafciculata, or fafcicled ixora : leaves ovate el¬ 
liptic, thofeof the branchlets fubfafcicled ; peduncles fub- 
triflorous. s- Ixora multiflora, or many-flowered ixora : 
leaves lanceolate-ovate bundled ; peduncles aggregate, 
one-flowered, very (hort; berries one-feeded. Both na¬ 
tives of Jamaica.

oblong, cordate at the bafe ; flowers faftigiate. 7. Ixora 
novemnervia, or nine-nerved ixora: (tern fcandent, leaves 
nerved, rough ; cymes terminating. 8. Ixora violacea, 
or violet ixora : leaves nerved, hairy j flowers axillary. 
Thefe three are natives of Cochin-china. 
9. Ixoraparviflora,or fmall-flow-ered ixora: leaves fub- 
feflile, lanceolate-oblong j panicle terminating. It is al¬ 
lied to I. coccinea, next to which it ought to be placed ; 
but the flowers are only one-fourth of the fize, and difpo- 
fed in racemed elongated corymbs. The leaves in I. coc¬ 
cinea are fefiile, not embracing ; and it varies with the feg¬ 
ments of the corolla fubovate and blunt, or lanceolate and 
acute. Native of the Eaft Indies. 
Propagation and Culture. Thefe plants are propagated by 
feeds, when they can be procured from the countries 
where they grow naturally, for they do not perfect any 
/eeds in England. They (hould be (own in fmall pots as 
foon as they arrive, and plunged into a hot-bed ; if they 
arrive in autumn or winter, the pots may be plunged in 
the tan-bed in the ftove, between the other pots of plants, 
fo will take up little room ; but, when they arrive in the 
fpring, it will be bed: to plunge them in a tan-bed under 
frames. _ The feeds will fometimes come up in about fix 
weeks, if they are quite fre(h; otherwife they will lie in 
the ground four or five months, and fometimes a whole 
year ; therefore the earth (hould not be thrown out of the 
pots till there is no hopes of their growing. When the 
plants come up, and are fit to remove, they (hould be each 
planted in afeparate fmall pot, filled with light earth, and 
afterwards treated in the manner directed for the coffee-

tree. See vol. iv. p. 743. They may alfo be increased by- 
cuttings during the iummer months, and planted in fmall 
pots plunged into a moderate hot-bed, covering them ciofe 
either with bell or hand glafles to exclude the external air. 
(hading them carefully from the fun during the heat of the 
day, until they have put out good roots, when they (hould 
be parted, and each put into a feparate pot, treating them 
as the feedling plants. Mr. Curtis remarks, that*ins cuf- 
tomary in this country to treat the ixora as a (love-plant; 
but that it may perhaps be lefs tender than we are aware of.
