      1. (Bot.) The name of one or two trees of the genus
            {Rhizophora} ({R. Mangle}, and {R. mucronata}, the last

            which fasten in the saline mire and eventually become new
            stems. The seeds also send down a strong root while yet
            attached to the parent plant.
  
      Note: The fruit has a ruddy brown shell, and a delicate white
               pulp which is sweet and eatable. The bark is
               astringent, and is used for tanning leather. The black

From Webster's Revised Unabridged Dictionary (1913) [web1913]:
   Reserve \Re*serve"\, n.
      1. (Finance)
            (a) That part of the assets of a bank or other financial
                  institution specially kept in cash in a more or less
                  liquid form as a reasonable provision for meeting all
                  demands which may be made upon it; specif.:
            (b) (Banking) Usually, the uninvested cash kept on hand
                  for this purpose, called the {real reserve}. In Great
                  Britain the ultimate real reserve is the gold kept on
                  hand in the Bank of England, largely represented by
                  the notes in hand in its own banking department; and
                  any balance which a bank has with the Bank of England
                  is a part of its reserve. In the United States the
                  reserve of a national bank consists of the amount of
                  lawful money it holds on hand against deposits, which
                  is required by law to be not less than 15 per cent
                  (--U. S. Rev. Stat. secs. 5191, 5192), three fifths of
                  which the banks not in a reserve city (which see) may
                  keep deposited as balances in national banks that are
                  in reserve cities (--U. S. Rev. Stat. sec. 5192).
            (c) (Life Insurance) The amount of funds or assets
                  necessary for a company to have at any given time to
                  enable it, with interest and premiums paid as they
                  shall accure, to meet all claims on the insurance then
                  in force as they would mature according to the
                  particular mortality table accepted. The reserve is
                  always reckoned as a liability, and is calculated on
                  net premiums. It is theoretically the difference
                  between the present value of the total insurance and
                  the present value of the future premiums on the
                  insurance. The reserve, being an amount for which
                  another company could, theoretically, afford to take
                  over the insurance, is sometimes called the
  
      {reinsurance fund} or the
  
      {self-insurance fund}. For the first year upon any policy the
            net premium is called the
  
      {initial reserve}, and the balance left at the end of the
            year including interest is the
  
      {terminal reserve}. For subsequent years the initial reserve
            is the net premium, if any, plus the terminal reserve of
            the previous year. The portion of the reserve to be
            absorbed from the initial reserve in any year in payment
            of losses is sometimes called the
  
      {insurance reserve}, and the terminal reserve is then called
            the
  
      {investment reserve}.

            passing through the inner coil, is made, broken, or
            varied. The inner coil has within it a core of soft iron,

            respect to a part, individual, or species, may, on the
            ground of analogy, be affirmed or received of the whole to
            which it belongs. This last is the inductive method of
            Bacon. It ascends from the parts to the whole, and forms,
            from the general analogy of nature, or special
            presumptions in the case, conclusions which have greater
            or less degrees of force, and which may be strengthened or
            weakened by subsequent experience and experiment. It
            relates to actual existences, as in physical science or
            the concerns of life. Logical induction is founded on the
            necessary laws of thought; philosophical induction, on the
            interpretation of the indications or analogy of nature.
