the handsomest genus of pinaceous plants with

is certainly one of the grandest trees
known. It will thrive Avell in the open air,
witli the protection of a mat or two in very
severe weather, and when got pretty large will
no_ doubt be perfectly hardy. Kich open loam
suits them well; and propagation may be
effected in the same manner as recommended
for AUingia. Synonyme: 1, A. columnàris,

ARÈCA, Linn, When an old tree, it is called in

Linn. 21, Or. 10, Nat. Or. Palmàcem, This
most beautiful genus of palms succeeds best in
lir/ht sandy loam, and can be increased only
fi^m seeds. The well-known Betel Nut is the
fruit of A. CatecM, and remarkable for its
narcotic or intoxicating power ; from the fruit
is prepared a kind of spurious Catechu. It
seems, however, doubtful whether the intoxicating
etfect of the Betel Nut, which is cut in
slices, folded in the aromatic leaves of the
Betel pepper Nut (Piper Betel), and chewed in
the mouti like tobacco, is not owing to the
Piper leaf, in which it is wrapped when eaten,
rather than to any special property of its own.
