of the men of Dedan ; and was familiar to the Greeks and Romans. D. 

 hirsuta, Linn, of Ceylon, perhaps identical with Wallich's D. dubitt, 

 produces CALAMANDER, or COROMANDEL-WOOD. Maba yuianensis pro- 

 duces the SATIN-WOOD of America. It is allied, according to Dalzell, to 

 our M. niyrescens, Dalz. Rvgtroora.

 Remarks. B. latifolia is found in the Concans, but much more 

 plentifully in Guzerat and Rajwarra. B. lonyifolia is found only in 

 Dharwar and North Canara, and probably is incorrectly coupled by 

 Dr. Gibson as a source of MHOWA- WOOD. Achras Sapota produces the 

 BULLY-WOOD, or BLACK BULLY of America. Under N. O. 138. Oleaceee, 

 the PARTRIDGE-WOOD of the West Indies and Brazils, is said to be pro- 

 duced by Heist eria coccinea ; but it is probably the wood of a legu- 

 minous plant.
