Derivation. From katut^ a calyx, and antltos^ a flower; the oalrx is coloured, and resembles a corolla. The name allspice was given to it by the inhabitants of Carolina, from the strong aro- matic smell of the bark. Gen. Char. Lobes of calyx disposed in many series, imbricate, lanceolate, all somewhat coriaceous and coloured. Stamens unequal, deciduous, 12 outer ones fertile. Achenia numerous. (Don's Mill.) Leaves simple, alternate, stipulate, deciduous ; entire, coriaceous. Flowers axillary, rising after the leaves, of a lurid purple colour, and sweet-scented, as well as the bark and leaves. Deciduous shrubs, natives of North America ; propagated, in England, by layers. DeCandoUe states that the removal of the terminal leaf bud of a shoot causes the production of two new flower buds ; and that by this practice a succession of flowers, during the whole summer, may be obtained when desirable.
