360 ENUMERATION OF PLANTS 



ones larger, deciduous. Corol, one petaled, large, 

 tubular, bell mouthed, tube very wide, contract- 

 ing at the case. Border five cleft, divisions broad, 

 unequally end nicked. Stamens, filaments ten, 

 of unequal lengths, the longest the length of the 

 corol, erect, appressed to the sides of the germ. 

 Anthers oblong, thick, incumbent. Germ above, 

 columnar, hoary, marked M'ith the pressure of the 

 stamens. Style longer than the stamens. Stigma 

 headed, round, depressed. Pericarp, capsule, co- 

 lumnar, ten celled, many seeded.- It approaches 

 nearest to Rhododendron, but will probably not be 

 admissible there ; and, perhaps, will form a new 

 genus. The natives called it Boorans, the M'ood 

 is used for making the stocks of matchlocks. 



Arbutus doubtful. — A tree of medium size found in 

 forests of fir, oak, &c. between Nataana and Ad- 

 waanee, crowded racemes* of white monopetalous 

 flowers, terminal and drooping. Leaves alternate, 

 petioled ovate, pointed, entire. Calyx half five- 

 cleft, small, divisions ovate, erect. Corol pitcher- 

 ed, many times longer than" the calyx, bellied, 

 neck very narrow ; mouth five toothed, toothlets 

 equal, short, obtuse. Stamens, filaments ten, 

 sometimes longer than the coral, and confined by 

 the narrowness of the neck within it, awled, thick 

 at the base, somewhat hairy, inserted into the 

 base of the tube. Germ above, globular, seated 

 on a five-cornered fleshy receptacle. Pericarp (in 

 an unripe state) berry five-celled, many seeded. 

 The natives call the tice Aiaar, and apply the 

 expressed juice of the lea\TS with much success in 

 cutaneous rruptions.
