'iSIDER the order of laurels we find this tree classified, with many others, most of which possess aromatic properties, either in their bark, roots or leaves. Many of them are in common use, as the cinnamon, obtained from the bark of the Cinnamo- mum Zeylanicum, a native of Ceylon; and the camphor, an '^ aromatic gum procured from several trees in India, China and Japan.

The tree grows to the height of fifteen or twenty feet, and presents a rather pleasing appearance. The pith of the young wood is sometimes used in inflam- mation of the eyes. The flowers are a greenish yellow, appearing from April to Xauutj. T70R where my worthiness is poor, My will stands richly at the door, To pay shortcomings evermore. —Mrs. Browmitg.
