t. 66. 



Reference.— -P^ra^wi. Indica. 

 A scandent prickly shrub of the maidan. Abun- 

 dant in waste land and partial to the vicinity of 

 rocks and loose boulders, which it often grows 

 around and partly conceals. The whole plant is 

 very pungent but especially the small golden ber- 

 ries, the size of a red currant. Useful medicinal 

 properties are attributed to the root and fruit. On 

 being distilled the green leaves afford a limpid oil 

 having the odour of citron peel. The plant is easily 

 propagated from seed, and, properly handled from 

 the beginning, it forms a pretty hedge. 



105 Glycosmis pentaphylla, Coeeba. Kan. Guroda. 



An evergreen bush of the hill tracts. The white 

 berries, the size of a pea, are eaten. It is believed in 

 parts of Bengal, that the leafy twigs serve to ward 

 off lightning. 



106 IVJurraya exotica, Linn. Kan. Angarakana gida, 

 China box. This evergreen shrub is cultivated 



in gardens for its pretty white flowers, which are 

 also very fragrant. 



The wood is said to be suitable for wood-engrav- 

 ing, although somewhat liable to crack. If is very 

 hard, and weighs 62 lb. per cubic foot ; always 

 small, but beautifully marked. • Used by the Malays 

 to make handles to their knives.
