ARGANIA

(from arg am, its aboriginal name). O RD. Sapotaceæ. A very fine greenhouse evergreen tree, said by Don to flourish against a south wall, out of doors, with the protection of a mat in severe weather. It will thrive in ordinary garden soil. Increased by layers and cuttings in autumn and spring, the latter requiring a bell gla covering; both operations must be performed in a moderately heated greenhouse.
