{{Inc| Murraea or Murraya (one of the Rutaceae, named for J. A. Murray, 1740-1791, professor in Gottingen) is now referred to Chalcas (Volume II. page 729). There is only one of the species in general cultivation, the orange jessamine, Chalcas exotica (or M. exotica), from India, China, Australia and the Pacific islands. P. J. Berckmans writes (A. F. 11:1367, with picture) that it "needs ample pot room and a liberal supply of plant-food. An annual application of bone-meal when repotting in February intensifies the color of the foliage, increases the size of the flowers, and causes it to bloom more frequently. When properly treated, the first crop of flowers usually appears here [Georgia] during May, another during July, and this is succeeded at intervals of from four to six weeks until fall. For winter, give it the temperature of a cool greenhouse, but during summer it thrives best when given full sunshine outdoors." The other species of Chalcas, of which there are perhaps a half-dozen in the Indo-Malay region, are probably not in cultivation in this country. Chalcas paniculata. Linn. (M. paniculata. Jack), is probably a form of C. exotica. It is the satinwood or cosmetic bark tree. Arboreous: corymbs few-fld. or fls. solitary.—The wood of this species is considerably used because of its strength and endurance and light yellow color. The bark is used as a cosmetic. C. Karnigii. Kurz. (M. Koenigii, Spreng.). Lvs. 10-20-foliolate, pubescent or rarely glabrous. Along the foot of the Himalayas in India.—A small, strong-smelling tree. The bark, lvs. and roots of this species are used in India as a tonic. Other little-known species occur in India and Indo-China. }} ==Cultivation== ===Propagation=== ===Pests and diseases=== ==Varieties== ==Gallery== <gallery perrow=5> Image:Upload.png| photo 1 Image:Upload.png| photo 2 Image:Upload.png| photo 3 </gallery> ==References== <references/> *[[Standard Cyclopedia of Horticulture]], by L.
