Obs, The infusion of one fresh leaf in water all night had 

 little taste, Imit struck quickly a deep purplish blue with a 

 chalybeate. The two inner coats of the bark (the outer light 

 spongy stratum is tasteless,) possess both the bitterness and 

 astringency of Peruvian oarA*, and I think when fresh in ;» 

 stronger degree; the bitterness is not so quickly communi- 

 cated to the taste on chew m<; the bark, a» th.it of the former, 

 but is much mure durable, and chiefly about the upper part 

 of the fauces,
