In India this plant was used for keeping flies off putrid sores.— 
Dalzell and Gibson (111 , p. 120). 
In India the gum was used to keep insects from sores on cattle. 
The strong-smelling gum resin, not unlike myrrh in appearance, was used 
extensively in European hospitals and T eterinary work to keep flies from 
sores.— Watt ( 422 , v. 3, pp. 89, 481). 
GARDENIA LUCIDA Roxb. 
A strong smelling gum resin from wounds in the bark and from leaf 
buds of this tree was used in cutaneous diseases and to keep off flies 
and worms .--Kirtikar and Basu (230 , v. 1, p. 652), 
MITCHELLA REPENS L. Partridgeberry. 
Extracts were not repellent to the Japanese beetle.— Metzger and 
Grant (277) . 
RANDIA DUMETORUM Lam. 
In India the bruised roots and unripe fruit were thrown into ponds 
to poison fish. In the Konkan, India, they were mixed with grain to 
preserve it from the attacks of insects.— Watt ( 422 , v. 6, pt. 1, p. 391). 
Extracts of the fruit in Mysore were more or less toxic to aphids.-- 
Subraraani am (377 ) • 
Water extracts of the powdered fruit (l pound to 10 gallons of 
soapy water) killed only 10 percent of the leafhoppers treated, and 
extracts of the roots, used at 10 percent strength, killed 80 percent 
of Coccus viridis (Green) on coffee plants in 4 days, but were not very 
effective against grasshoppers.— Subramaniam ( 379 , 583 ) . 
This fish-poison plant is commonly found in coffee-growing areas 
of India. A 5-percent alcoholic extract of fruit skin killed 90 percent 
of grasshoppers Epacromia tamulus (F.)» and caterpillars of Euproctis 
fraterna (Moore), but had no effect on caterpillars of Crocidolomia 
binotalis Zeller. A similar extract of the root bark killed 100 percent 
of E. fraterna . An l/8-percent alcoholic extract of the root bark killed 
only 50 percent of mosquito larvae in 19 hours.— Putt arudri ah end
