IPR BY BAC i.
——_—__-—___ —

In presenting a catalogue of the plants m the two Metropolitan
Gardens, the Brisbane Botanic and Bowen Park, the compiler
thinks it may be well to make a few prefatory remarks, especially
as he has not followed the usual practice of giving only a dry
list of scientific names—to the many a dead language. Wherever
a local name is known he has given it, but. has not thought it
advisable to follow the usage of those who, failing to find a local
name, give a free translation of the scientific one in lieu thereof;
when no local name is known for a plant it is as well that the
public should understand and use the scientific name, which has
the advantage of being the one used by all nationalities.

The numerous notes on the properties and uses of the plants
are a feature the compiler feels sure will be appreciated by a large
number of persons, especially by those who take a utilitarian
view of them; all of which have been extracted from the best
authorities on the subject, and may therefore be relied upon
as correct.

The classification and nomenclature is that of Bentham and
Hooker's “Genera Plantarum,” but where plants have been known
in our gardens by other names, these are given in parentheses.

Although a number of the plants are indigenous to more
than one country—some, indeed, having a world-wide range—it
has been thought sufficient to note one only.

No long list is given of the names and nationalities of the
many persons who have stood sponsors for the plants, but as
some may wonder what the few letters after each name may mean
it might be well just briefly to mention that Zinn., after the name
Anemone, indicates that this genus was named by the immortal
Swedish naturalist, C. Linneus; and Zucc., after the specific name
japonica, below it, means that J. G. Zuccarini gave the specific
name.

Rhizome astringent, styptic, and slightly narcotic, prescribed in dysentery, and occasionally
chewed by singers to relieve the relaxation of the uvula.

gigantea, Hook.; Large Blue Water-Lily ; aq.; Queensland. A.B.
The tubers are baked and eaten by the aborigines.—Thozet.

lutea.
Spreading luxuriously in a pond in the Acclimatisation Garden.

There are three Ny mpheeas growing in Northern Queensland. One, a pure white-flowered
species, highly fragrant, is to be found in the pools of the Barron River. Its flowers rise a foot or
more out of the water. This species should be introduced into our gardens. I consider it to be
Nymphza lotus. A small water-lily, with flowers not more than an inch across, of a purplish
colour, grows also in the shallows of the same river. This would be suitable for aquaria. It has
not yet been brought to Brisbane. (See N. minima in the ‘‘ Synopsis of the Queensland Flora.*’)
Another interesting aquatic grows in the same river, which I consider to be N. cerulea, Savigny.
It is about half the size of N. gigantea. It has not yet been introduced in the gardens.

SuBsorpER NELUMBONE.

NELUMBIUM, Juss.
speciosum, Willd.; Pink Water-Lily ; aq.; E. India and Queensl. A.B.

The natives of Africa where this tree grows are said to chew a small piece of the nut before a
meal to help digestion; the nuts are also said to render half-filtered water drinkable. From
recent chemical investigation these nuts have been found to contain more caffeine in an uncom-

- bined state than the best samples of coffee, also theobromine.

This tree is worthy of cultivation by our tropical planters, as the nuts are increasing in
demand yearly. The tree flourishes from near sea-level to 1,000 feet above, produces the fourth
year, but attains the average crop of from 120 to 150 lbs. by the tenth year. For shipment the
nuts, freed from the husks, should be carefully and slowly dried in the shude where a current of
air wili pass over them.

q Attar or otto of roses is obtained by the careful distillation of the petals of several species of
roses—particularly R. gallica, Linn., R. centifolia, Linn., and R.damascena, Miii. For this purpose
they are largely cultivated on the lower slopes of the Balkans, in Roumelia. The flowers are
collected before sunrise in Apriland May. They are distilled as soon as possible after gathering.
The first portion of the distillation is returned to the still; the second is set by for aday or two, and
kept at a temperature not lower than 60 degrees, in order that the oil may separate. The oilina
fluid state is then skimmed from the surface of the water by means of a very smal) tin funnel,
having a fine orifice and furnished with along handle. The average annual produce of Roumelia,
from whence the London market is chiefiy supplied, is about 4,000 Ibs., valued at £60,000. Some
attar is also obtained in the south of France, Tunis, and Persia, as well as at Ghazepore, in India.
The Turkish attar is almost invariably adulterated with the oil of an Indian species of Andropogon.

Cultivated for its fruit. The tree is said to have the property of rendering meat tender by its @
being soaked in its juice or by suspending the joints underit. The milky juice is considered a
powerful vermifuge, but should be used with care. The leaves are used instead of soap for clean-
ing linen. The seeds have a pungent flavour, and are said to be an efficacious vermifuge.
**Papaine, a preparation from this plant, is a remedy now largely used in cases of diphtheria and
deranged digestion of the stomach. Up to the present time papaine has proved serviceable in the
treatment of the following diseases :—External carcinomatous tubercles, which it is employed to
dissolve ; in diphtheria, for the dissolution of the croupous false membrane. Koth and Aschbach
report favourable results in fifty-three cases of this disease. Rossbach advises that in bad attacks
of croup a solution of papaine, made as strong as possible, should be kept in constant contact
with the exudation by painting it over the latter, and dropping it into the nose and mouth every
five minutes. In France it has been employed to assist digestion in cases of dyspepsia and other
gastric interna] diseases, both in adults and children. Vomiting is also relieved quickly by small
doses when it arises from indigestion.’”’—Christy’s New Commercial Plants and Drugs. If the pre-
paration is not at hand, the pure fresh juice of the plant is recommended in cases of indigestion.

This common weed has for some time been used in the East Indies as an alterative and tonic
in diseases of the skin, nervous system, and blood. The peculiar principle of the herb is called
“‘vellarin”’ ; it is an oily liquid, not volatile, having the odour and taste of the herb. The herb is
used, in the form of a poultice, to stimulate ulcerated surfaces to healthy action ; and in syphilis,
whether secondary or constitutional, where the skin and cellular tissue are affected, it is especially
useful. The powdered leaves are used in the form of snuff, in cases of ozcena. For further infor-
mation regarding the wonderful effects of this herb, see the writings of Drs. Boileau, A. Htnter.

The seeds of this dangerous poison-shrub are exported from the Cape de Verde Islands to
Portugal to the extent of about 350,000 bushels a year for the expression of the oil. Before
expression, the seeds are slightly roasted and crushed, when the shells are easily removed. One
thousand pounds of the seeds yield 640 lbs. of kernels, which give about 260 lbs. of oil. From Portugal
the oil appears to find its way to France, where it is supposed to be used in the manufacture of
transparent soap. The properties of this oil are similar to those ot castor oil, only very much
stronger and without the disagreeable odour. Dr. Christison states that twelve to fifteen drops
are equal to an ounce of castor oil. The juice of the fresh plant is a valuable hemostatic, and is
said to rapidly coagulate the blood, even in an artery, so that it can even be used for the cure of
aneurism.

The leaves give the ‘“‘kittul”’ fibre, which is very strong and made into ropes, brushes,
brooms, and other articles. The interior of the stem is filled with a sago-like starch, which is
made into bread or boiled into gruel. It also furnishes from its sap a toddyand sugar. Weight of
eubic foot of wood, 45 to 71 1bs.

The Caryotas flower only once during their course of existence. The first spadix appears at
the top of the tree; as soon as that has done flowering, others (latent buds), issuing from the axils
or former axils of the leaves, make their appearance. This process, being of adownward tendency,
is repeated until the last spadix, which may be looked upon as the death-knell of the plant, shows
itself at the foot of the trunk, proclaiming that the hour of departure from life is at hand.—J. S

V CYPERUS—continued. Stein Papyrus
papyrus, Linn.; Nile Papyrus; her. per.; Egypt. A.B.

This plant, sometimes called ‘‘ Papyrus antiquorum,’’ is supposed to be the bulrush of which
the ark of the child Moses and also the vessels spoken of by Isaiah were made, and is “the
paper-reed of the brooks.” The mode adopted by the ancients for making paper from its stems
seems to have been to have peeled the stems and then to have cut the pith lengthways into thin
slices, which were laid side by side, their edges touching one another. These were then sprinkled
with a gummy water and a heavy press was applied; thus the whole became united into one
piece. ‘These sheets were then dried and cut up into convenient sizes for use.

It would take more space than can be afforded here to enumerate all the many uses-to which
plants of this tribe are applied. They are used in house-building and for furniture. Sticks of some
kinds are imported into England and sold for supporting plants. The split stems are woven into
inats, &c.; the leaves are used for horse fodder in India. From the joints of the stems of some
kinds is prepared a medicine in India called “ Tabasheer” and ‘‘Chuna Lime”: the seeds also are
at times the only food of thousands of people in India. In the Malayan Peninsula. the living
bamboo is converted into a musical instrument by perforating it with holes, through which the
Wind is permitted to sigh. Good cordage and paper is made from the fibre. The leaves are good
stuffing for beds, &c.
