PENTAPTERA-BARK. 



A very bitter bark is sold in market, which the natives 

 eat with their betel. I have never seen the tree, but the 

 fruit of it which was brought me, proved it to belong to 

 Roxburgh's genus pentaptera.

CMIRATA. 



This well known Indian bitter is a common Burman 

 medicine, but I have never seen the plant growing. It is 

 considered a good substitute for cinchona, but it fre- 

 quently acts as an aperient as well as a tonic. It is often 

 confounded with another bitter, kreet, — Justicia pani- 

 cidata.

WILLOW. 



A species of willow is one of the most abundant forest 

 trees on the banks of inland streams; and as many of the 

 willows are medicinal, it is very probable that this also pos- 

 sesses medicinal properties, but they are as yet unknown.
