Powerful action upon the nervous system is the most remarkable property in this Order, 

 which aflfords Coffee, Cinchona, and Ipecacuanha. Of Quinquina, only the spurious barks 

 called " Quinquina Piton," or " China caribsea," occur in the West Indies {Fmsfemma fio- 

 rihundum and brachycarpum), while the genuine white Ipecacuanha {Rickardsoma scabra) 

 is a native of Jamaica. Coutarea specioaa is used as an emetic in Trinidad (liOckh.) ; 

 Chiococca racemosa affords the resolvent root of Cainca : and Spigelia anthehnia, though 

 poisonous, is a reputed anthelmintic. A yeUow pigtnent is extracted from Morinda Royoc 

 and citrifolia, a red one from Oldenlandia wnbellata. Timber trees in this Order are : 

 Chimatrhis cymosa ; Chtettarda argeniea, an excellent timber-tree (Wils.) ; Chione glabra ;
