MEDICINAL PLANTS THAT CAN BE SUPPLIED. 61 



From the Mediterranean countries, the following 

 might with advantage be imported : 



1st. Black Hellebore plant, Bazar Syn. " Kalee 

 Kootkie." The Bazar Hellebore comes I believe from 

 Persia ; it is seldom found sufficiently fresh to allow 

 of its being depended on as an active medicinal agent. 

 2nd. The Scammony convolvulus. 

 3rd. Liquorice root plant, and few others of lesser 

 note. 



The number of medicinal plants which could be 

 supplied by us from this quarter of India, for natu- 

 ralization in the West Indies, and some other of 

 the Colonies of England, is not large. Some of 

 the Polygonums.
