The male flowers, which are produced on separate trees from the female, have eight stamina, which are branched into arms; the ovary of the female flowers becomes a berry, inclosing a single seed within an horny shell, which is covered with a skin. The species are,1. The common bay with male flowers.2. The common fruit bearing bay tree.3. The gold striped bay tree, &c. The first and second sorts are old inhabitants of the English gardens; and as there are varieties obtained from the same seeds, they are promiscously cultivated, and are not to be distinguished asunder until they have produced flowers. These plants are propagated either from seeds, or by laying down the tender branches, which will take root in one year’s time. Mill.
I have seen the wicked in great power, and spreading himself like a green bay tree. Psalm xxxvii 35.
