carts arc formed. Nanclea cordifolia. Bignonia quadriloeularis, 

 Mimosa Xylocarpus, Mimosa Sirissa, Terminalia Bellerica, Strych- 

 nos mix vomica, Ulmus integrifolia, the male bamboo a rare pro- 

 duction of the Nizam's country, grows near Palooncha. Of the 

 less useful timber trees, that compose the Godavery forests, may- 

 be mentioned the Butea frondosa, every where most abundant, the 

 ('area Arborea, Baringtonia Acutangula, Ixora parviflora, Eicus 

 Comosa. Erythrina Suberosa, Sterculia urens, Buchanania latifolia, 

 and the Bassia latifolia. The lower Jungle is composed of the 

 Grewia orientalis, Olax scandens, several species of Gardenia, the 

 Pisonia acnleata, the Trophis aspera, and the AVebera tetrandra. 

 The immense climber the Butea Grandiflora, throws its branches 

 over the groves intermixed with the Sifonia nutans, Combretum 

 ovalifolium, and the Yentilago Madraspatania. 



Gums, are yielded by tlie Conocarpus latifolia, by two species of 

 Terminalia, Buchanania latifolia, Garnga pinnata which afford, par- 

 ticularly the three first, pure gums. The Cochlospermum Gossyp- 

 pium, and Sterculia urens, a gum similar to the gum tragacanth. 

 Three species of Gardenia yield the gum resin called Decamullee, 

 and the Buteas the East Indian kind. 



Byes, are afforded by the Oldenlandia umbellata, two species of 

 Morinda, one of them cultivated, which give a red colour of dif- 

 ferent shades to cloth. A coarse kind of Indigo is prepared from the 

 Indigofera Ccerulia, yellow from Turmeric, and the flowers of the 

 Butea. The Mango bark dyes a dirty yellow, and the Chloroxy-

 are grown, oil may be expressed from the seeds of the Dalbergia 

 Latifolia, Hypercanthera Moringa, and a good drying oil from 

 those of the Buchanania latifolia; of the last an English pint of 

 oil is to be obtained from two seers of seed. The seeds of the 

 Bassia latifolia also give an oil. 



Hemp, Flax, and Cordage. — The Sunn plant Crotolaria juncea is 

 cultivated as is also the Hibiscus cannabinus, the Umbarrah, and 

 their fibres are made use of for many purposes of hemp. 



The Linum Usitatissimum is never used as a flax, being cultivat- 

 ed soley for its seeds. The Canabis Sativa is grown in gardens
