is that species of the ash tree, in the Linnean system, which, according to Dr Cirillo of Naples, produces the manna. It is the ash tree, whose smaller leaves are sawed, with flowers having petals. In order to obtain the manna, those whose business it is, in July and August, make an oblong incision, and take off from the bark of the tree about three inches in length and two in breadth; they leave the wound open, and by degrees the manna runs out, and is almost suddenly thickened to its proper consistence, and is found adhering to the bark of the tree. This is collected in baskets, and called manna grossa. When they want fine manna, they apply to the incision of the bark thin straw, or small bits of shrubs; so that the manna in coming out runs upon these bodies, and is collected in a fort of regular tubes, which give it the name of manna in cannoli.
