about villages throughout Viti, and often cultiyated (Seemann! n. 204). Also collected at Uvea or 
Wallis Island (Sir H. Home!). Common in the Indian Archipelago (Horsfield! Wallich!), Cochin-

4 This species is much cultivated by all Malayan and Polynesian races, both for its ornamental folfage 
and medicinal properties. ‘The root has an agreeable and strongly aromatic smell, tastes not unlike parsley, 
and is used as a diuretic. In Viti the bark of this shrub is seraped off, and its juice taken as a remedy for 
macake,” the thrush,—uleerated tongue and throat.
