CHRYSOPHYLLUM, or BULLY-TREE, a genus of the monogynia order, belonging to the pentandria class of plants. There are two species, the camito and glabrum, both natives of the West Indies. The first rises 30 or 40 feet high, with a large trunk covered with a brown bark, and divides into many flexible slender branches, which generally hang downward, garnished with spear-shaped leaves, whose under sides are of a bright russet colour. The flowers come out at the extremities of the branches, disposed in oblong bunches, which are succeeded by fruit of the size of a golden pippin, that are very rough to the palate, and astringent; but when kept some time mellow, as is practised here with medlars, they have an agreeable flavour. The second sort never rises to the height of the first, nor do the trunks grow to half the size; but the branches are slender and garnished with leaves like those of the first. The flowers come out in clusters from the side of the branches, which are succeeded by oval smooth fruit about the size of olives, inclosing three or four hard compressed seeds. Both these plants are frequently preserved in gardens where there are large stoves, and are propagated by seeds, but the plants can never bear the open air in this country.
