Younj; branches purplish or livid, with yellow dots. Buds cinereous. {Don's Mill.) A deciduous tree. South of Europe. Height 20 ft. to 30 ft. Introduced in 1730. Flowers white ; May and June. Samara brown ; ripe in 12b6. O'rnui A very handsome small tree, and a free flowerer. It and also the following species, and probably all those of both the genera i^'raxinus and O'rnus, ex- travasate sap, which, when it becomes concrete, is mild and mucilaginous. This sap is produced in more abundance by O'rnus europae^a and 0. rotundi- folia, than by any other species ; collected from these trees, it forms an article of commerce under the name of manna, which is chiefly obtained from Calabria and Sicily, where the tree abounds. ¥ 2. 0.
