TIGHT

The Sea term for the opposite of leaky. TILIACEiE {Tilia, the linden or lime tree), form a natural order of Exogenous plants, very nearly allied to the Malvaceous order, from which they differ in the stamens being distinct. In useful qualities they resemble that order, the bark being tough, their sap mucilaginous, and their timber light. Ru ia mats are made from the tough inner bark of the common lime tree; and a species of Cor chorus, called olitorius, is employed in India as a potherb. A few have gay flowers, but the majority are plants of little interest. [s. 1252]
