This is a shrub or small tree found in India, Ceylon, Arabia, Tropical Africa etc. Twigs are used as a tooth cleaner by the natives in Portuguese East Africa, on, the Nile banks, by the Mahomedans of Persia, etc. as well as in the Sudan; otherwise they are of little value and do not likely to possess any marketable value in this country. | ||||
