Tephr6sia, Persoon. Fvomtephros, ash-coloured ; 

 in allusion to the colour of the foliage of some 

 of the species. Linn. 17, Or. 4, Nat. Or. Fa- 

 b&cecs. The species of Tephrdsia thrive well 

 in a mixture of loam and peat, and are readily 

 increased by seeds, or by young cuttings 

 planted in sand, under a glass ; those of the 

 stove species, in heat. "The leaves and 

 branches of T. toxicaria, well pounded, and 

 thrown into a river or pond, very soon affect 

 the water, and cause it to intoxicate the fish, 

 so as to make them float on the surface as if 

 dead ; most of the large ones recover after a 

 short time, but the greater part of the small 

 fry perish on those occasions. It has been in- 

 troduced into Jamaica, and cultivated there on 

 account of its intoxicating qualities." Syno-

 Combretaceoz. Interesting plants. For culture 

 and propagation, see Bucida. The fruit and 

 bark of several of the species are astringent 

 and tonic. The fruit and galls of T. Chibula 

 are highly valued by dyers, creating, when 

 mixed with alum, a durable yellow. The bark 

 and leaves of T. Catdppa yield a black pig- 

 ment, with which Indian ink is made. A 

 milky juice is said to flow from T. angustifolia, 

 which, when dried, is fragrant, and resembling 

 Benzoin is used as a kind of incense in the 

 churches in the Mauritius. Synonymes : 1,
