them, and they are readily increased by division.

T h e a , Linn. Derived from Telia, the Chinese
name for tea. Linn. 16, Or. 8, Nat. Or. TernstrbmidcecB.
For the culture and propagation
of these valuable plants, see Oamlllia. They
only require to be protected from severe frost.
"Mr. Fortune has proved that the Chinese
manufacture black and gi'een tea from the same
plant; and it is now generally agreed that the
two supposed species, T. Bohea and T. viridis,
are nothing more than varieties of one species,
for which Linneeus' name T, eliinensis is adopted,
and of which the Assam tea plant, sometimes
called Thea assamica, is merely a third variety,
or perhaps, indeed, the wild type. The black
and green teas are, however, mainly the growth
oí diiferent districts of China, but the two kinds
may be produced in either district, the difference
being caused solely by the diverse methods
of preparation."
Dr. Edward Smith, the most recent investigator
of the action of tea, sums xip its action thus :
It increases the assimilation of food, both
of the flesh and heat-forming kinds ; and with
abundance of food it must jn'omote nutrition,
whilst in the absence of sutEcient food it increases
the waste of the body."

loam and peat ; and cuttings root readily in
sand, under a glass, in heat. Seeds do not
retain their vegetative power for a great length
of time. The seeds of T. Gaeào furnish tlie
chocolate of the shops. The seeds are very
nourishing and agreeable to most people, and
are, therefore, kept in the majority of the
houses in America as a necessary part of the
provisions of the family. See Guazúma.

Thermopsis are very elegant, but rather diflicnlt
to preserve. They succeed best in a light,
rich soil ; and the safest way of increasing
them is by seed ; for when the plants are separated
at the roots they are very liable to sulier.
