laria tertia, Rumph. Amb. vol. iv. p. 78. t. 33. Nomen vernac. Vitiense, “ Danidani."— Frequent 
about villages throughout Viti, and often cultivated (Seemann! n. 204). Also collected at Uvea or 
Wallis Island (Sir E. Home!). Common in the Indian Archipelago (Horsfield ! Wallich !), Cochin- 
china (Loureiro! in Mus. Brit.), Ceylon (Seemann !), and India. 
This species is much cultivated by all Malayan and Polynesian races, both for its ornamental foliage 
and medicinal properties. The root has an agreeable and strongly aromatic smell, tastes not unlike parsley, 
and is used as a diuretic. In Viti the bark of this shrub is scraped off, and its juice taken as a remedy for 
“macake,” the thrush,—ulcerated tongue and throat.

A straggling shrub, 4-8 feet high, with few branches. Leaves 2—4 feet long, leaflets often a foot long. 
Flowers in very large terminal panicles, the branches of which are 11-2 feet long. Umbels few-flowered, 
arranged in racemes ; racemes of the male flowers scattered, those of the hermaphrodite arranged in whorls. 
Drupe in my specimens not quite ripe, generally 2-, seldom 3-seeded.
