or BULLY-TREE: A genus of the monogynia order, belonging to the pentandra clas of plants; and in the natural method ranking under the 43rd order, viz. Durosea. The corolla is campanulated, decemfid, with the segments alternately a little patent. The fruit is a ten-seeded berry. There are two species, the cainito 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 undersides 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 melons, 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 a bergamot pear. This contains a white clammy juice when fresh; but after being kept a few days, it becomes sweet, soft, and delicious. Included are four or five black seeds about the size of those of a pumpkin. Both these plants are frequently preserved in gardens where there are large flows, and are propagated by seeds, but the plants can never bear the open air in this country.
