an ancient town of Turkey in Asia, in Natolia; seated at the foot of mount Timolis, from whence there is a fine view over an extensive plain. The Greeks retain its ancient name, but by the Turks it is called Allahijur. It contains 7 or 8000 inhabitants; of whom 2000 are Christians, who have four churches, over which presides an archbishop. E. Lon. 28° 25', N. Lat. 38° 45'.

the Pipe-tree, or Mock-orange; a genus of the monogynia order belonging to the Icoandria class of plants.

Species 1. The coronarius, white syringo, or mock-orange, has been long cultivated in the gardens of this country as a flowering shrub; it is not well known in what country it is to be found native. It rises seven or eight feet high; sending up a great number of slender stalks from the root. These have a gray bark, branch out from their sides, and are garnished with oval spear-shaped leaves. These last have deep indentures on their edges; their upper surface being of a deep green, but the under surface pale, with the taste of a fresh cucumber. The flowers are white, and come out from the sides and at the ends of the branches in loose bunches, each standing on a distinct foot-stalk: they have four oval petals, which spread open, with a great number of stamina within, surrounding the style. Their smell at some distance resembles that of orange-flowers, but is too powerful for most people when near. 2. The nanus, with oval leaves somewhat indented and double flowers, seldom rises above three feet high; the flowers come out singly from the sides of the branches, and have a double or treble row of petals of the same size and form as well as the same scent with the former; but this sort flowers very rarely, so is but little esteemed. 3. The inodorus with entire leaves, is a native of Carolina, and as yet but little known in Europe. It rises with a shrubby stalk of about 16 feet in height, sending out slender branches from the sides opposite, garnished with smooth leaves shaped like those of the pear-tree, and standing on pretty long foot-stalks. The flowers are produced at the ends of the branches; and are large, white, spreading open, with a great number of short stamina with yellow summits.

Culture. The first two species are extremely hardy, but grow taller in light good ground than in such as is stiff. They are usually propagated by suckers, which are produced by the roots in great plenty. The last species cannot be propagated in this country by seeds, which is the reason of its scarcity; however, it may be produced by laying down the branches. It is also liable to be destroyed by cold in severe winters, and therefore ought to be sheltered during that season.
