 Cinchona, Coffea and Morinda, many genera contain plants of economic use. Cephaelis

 India, but which has proved very difficult to naturalise or grow in such a way as to 

 make its cultivation pay. " Mac'der " is given by Eubia cordifolia, Linn., the Manjit 

 plant, common all over the Himalayas and largely exported ; while many other genera 

 are cultivated in gardens for the beauty of their flowers, and among the commonest 

 of these are Serissa, Catesbcea and Hamelia, besides the numerous Ixoras and 

 Gardenias, some species of which are described herein.

 moderately hard ; no heartwood. Pores small or very small ; in Antho-
