Martinius sus- pects that it comes from a Hebrew word which signifies vigilant; because its early Bowers announce the return of spring. Gen. Char. Dnipe clothed with velvety pubescence, having a dry rind, which separates irregularly, containing a pitted or smooth putamen or nut. (Don's Mi/;.) Leaves simple, conduplicate when young, alternate, stipulate, deciduous. Flowers nearly sessile, usually pink or rose coloured, rising either singly or by pairs from the scaly buds, earlier than the leaves. â Shrubs or trees of the middle size, deciduous. Natives of the North of Africa, and the mountains of Asia; also of Russia, and the Levant. The fruit-bearing species are cultivated in the Middle and South of Europe and the Levant, and are propagated chiefly by grafting; and the others by grafting, layers, suckers, or cuttings of the root. The almond was included by Linnasus in the same genus with the peach and nectarine, of both of which it is, doubtless, the parent, as trees have been found with almonds in a state of transition to peaches, and with both peaches and nectarines on the same branch. j» 1.
