P. Suir, 52, 53, 64:—Cassia bark, Cassia buds, Cassia 
leaves, Cassia twigs. The thickest barks are called Py #E jou 
(fleshy) kui. Witutams [ Commercial Guide, 85] places this 
among the articles of import, and states that this drug is 
produced in Cochinchina and in Sin chou, in the province 
of Kwang si.— 
The jou kui in the Chinese druggists’ shops is a thick 
bark and resembles the 4 | kuan ku’, which I received from 
a Corean druggist’s shop. 
According to the Cust. Med. all the Chinese Cassia bark 
in various forms is exported from Canton, viz.:—

According to Mr. Kopscn’s translations from the Kuang 
si Tung chi, regarding Cassia bark [China Rev., 1X (1881), 
318], Cassia is produced in the 4 9#4j [lj Tsz‘ king hills in 
the prefecture of Sin chou fu in Bastern Kuang si. The 
Cassia from the $f 76 [hj Tsing hua hills in Annam is also 
highly esteemed.—I may observe that the same prefecture of 
Sin chou fu was noticed, nearly 250 years ago, by F ather 
Marrixi, as producing the best Cassia bark. See my Larly 
Europ. Res. Bot. Chin. [p. 13}.
