Very many representatives of the family are culti- vated for ornament, as species of Lupinus, Lor burnum, Petalostemon, Robinia, Wistaria, Phaseolus, Lathyrus, Acacia, Mimosa, etc. The Sensitive-plant is Mimosa pvdica, from South Amei'ica (Fig. 329). 13. Anacardiacese. The Cashew family. Trees and shrubs, with milky resinous juice, often poisonous. Flowers small, regular, peutandrous. Species chiefly tropi- cal, numbering about four hundred and fifty. The fruit called Mai]go is produced by a species from India, Mangi- fera Indica, now cultivated in most warm countries. The Cashew-nut is the fruit of Anaeardium ocddentale, a tree of the West Indies; and the Pistachio-nut of Pistaeia vera, a tree of Asia. The resinous substance Mastic is obtained from Pistaeia Lentisous from the Mediterranean region. Our common representatives of this family belong to the genus Rhus. The Sumac (Ji. typhina and R. glabra) contains much tannin in the leaves, which are, therefore, used in tanning. The Poison Ivy (-R. Tosdcodendron), the Fig. 329.
