QUARTZ, a kind of crystal-like stone.
QUASSIA, Linn, Quussi, tlie name of a negro
slave, Y^-ho first used the bark as a febrifuge.
Zimi. 10, Or. 1, Nat. Or. Simaricbcicew. This
valuable tree thrives in loam and peat ; and
cuttings of the ripened ^Y00d, witli tlieir leaves
left whole, will root in sand, under a glass, in
heat. The w^ood of this tree is ^vell known as
one of the most intense bitters, and is consi-
<lered an elfectual remedy in any disorder
where pure bitters are required. See Simartlba.

Quekett, F.L.S., an excellent botanical observer
and one of our best vegetable anatomises.
L%nn, 20, Or. 1, Nat. Or. OrcMdacec&, Dr.
Lindley says, "although this little plant is
only a few inches high, and has no attractions
ior the vulgar eye, it is in some resnects one
of the most interesting I know, if Wamined
microscopically.^' It wdll be found to succeed
best on wood, treated precisely as the species
of Plcurothdllis.

QUÉRCUS, Linn. From the Celtic qiter, fine,
and ciicz, a tree, fine tree ; others derive it
irom the Greek word clioiros, a pig ; because
those aninaals feed on the acorns. Linn. 21
Or. 9, Nat. Or. Corylacem. All the species of
this very important genus have a highly ornamental
appearance, either on the lawn or in
the forest; the wood is also much superior to
tliat of any other tree, teak alone exccnted,
for the purpose of naval architecture ; indeed,
there is no purpose in the arts to which the
^\vood of the oak is not applicable. Q. Súber
IS very valuable on account of its being the
only tree which produces in any quantity that
yeiy important article, cork. The bark, leaves,
and iruit, of all the species abound in astringent
matter, and in tannin. The oak succeeds
best in a deep loamy soil, and in a somewhat
low situation. The species are generally
increased from seed ; and it is only when particular
varieties are to be perpetuated, that
grafting is resorted to. The seeds may either
be sown when they drop from the tree, or they
inaj^ be thoroughly dried, and preserved till
the follow^mg March; previous to sowino- the
soil should be well prepared, and after the
drüls are opeiied, or the earth drawn off the
beds, the acorns may be scattered along the
drills or over the beds, keeping them about
two inches apart; before covering, the acorns
must, if sown in beds, be patted down with
the back of a spade, or the back of a woodenlieaded
rake if sown in drills. Thev should
be covered from half an inch, to an inch and
a halt deep, according to the size of the acorn
with finely broken soil. The after culture of
the oak does not require any notice here. Synonymes:
