  "This 
  is 
  the 
  West 
  African 
  mosquito 
  plant. 
  This 
  plant 
  is 
  known 
  locally 
  to 
  possess 
  

  

  valuable 
  qualities 
  as 
  an 
  insectifuge, 
  but 
  I 
  think 
  its 
  use 
  is 
  really 
  not 
  much 
  practiced 
  

  

  by 
  the 
  natives. 
  The 
  foliage 
  is 
  usually 
  hung 
  up 
  in 
  dwelling 
  houses 
  in 
  the 
  green 
  state 
  

  

  to 
  keep 
  away 
  mosquitoes. 
  The 
  dried 
  plant 
  is 
  also 
  burned 
  and 
  the 
  resulting 
  smoke 
  

  

  therefrom 
  is 
  considered 
  to 
  be 
  useful 
  for 
  the 
  same 
  purpose."
