 produced Margosa is called in Cana- 

 rese Kirree Bayoo ($0 eS^sg) but there 

 is another diminutive tree called Kurree

 very seldom met with in the Malnad 

 has been found well suited to coffee

 all over the Maidan, but seldom in the

 are bitter and used for killing moths 

 whereas those of the shrub Kurree 

 Bayoo are pungent and used as a con- 

 diment.
