Description
Excerpt from Forest Flora of British Burma, Vol. 1: Ranunculaceæ to Cornaceæ
I had to reduce, also, the remarks on the uses, etc., to a minimum, by usually recording only uses of primary and recognised importance, omitting, as a rule, all such petty qualities as natives alone take advantage of in their medicines, food, etc. Dr. Brandis'' Forest Flora will furnish in this respect a great amount of information, more especially as he has taken up also most of the more important Burmese trees. The Rev. Dr. F. Mason''s book entitled Barman, its people and natural productions (rangoon 1860) is in the hands of most residents in Burma, and I understand that another edition of it will be issued. It also contains a large amount of useful practical information.
