SS- Omitted from page 59:— 
Rhamnus tomentella Bth. — This 
shrub or small tree, evidently restricted 
in its distribution to the mountains of 
San Bernardino (Parish) and San 
Diego counties and of northern Baja 
California, is popularly known as the 
wild coffee bush, or Yerba loso. Dr. 
Rusby does not consider this to possess 
any useful properties—at least no 
virtues worthy of comparison with R. 
Purshiana. Its large black berries are 
sweet to the taste, but poisonous or at 
least unwholesome, as children some- 
times find to their cost. The seeds are 
somewhat of the size and shape of 
coffee berries—whence the common 
name—and when separated from the 
pulp and roasted are said to form a fair — 
substitute for coffee, though I should 
prefer not to experiment with it my- 
self. 
The bark of this species is popularly 
considered efficacious in severe cases 
of dysentery, and the leaves to possess 
cathartic properties—though both are 
conceded to be dangerous remedies. 
The receipt given me for dysentery is 
to take one pound of the bark of the 
root, boil in a quart of water until re- 
duced to a pint. 
le. mitted from page 48:— 
Romneya coulteri Hary.—‘‘A deadly 
poison.’’ ‘‘The whole plant is used, 
bruised and boiled and applied as a 
poultice or taken in liquor’’—my notes 
do not state whereof its virtue con- 
sists. It will naturally be inferred, 
however, that its properties are similar 
to those of opium.
