| Notes: | Label source: M781-29 ? Part of a walking stick of Himalayan Wood. Lord Powerscourt, Powerscourt, Enniskerry, Ireland. The sample of wood from the walking stick appears to be Cotoneaster bacillaris Wall. or perhaps another species of Cotoneaster. The woo, d of C. bacillaris is used for walking sticks, and Gamble states that the 'alpenstocks' used throughout the West Himalaya are usually made of it. L.A.B. 23.9.29. 'I recently bought a long walking stick from an Indian Scout at the Jamboree and I am very an, xious to know what the wood is. All he could tell me was that it was cut in the Himalayan Mountains in India. It was too long for me so I cut a bit off which I now enclose. It had been barked before I got it and cured with a thick oil smelling of sandle (, sandal)? wood. I have tried to rub this off with glass paper. | ||||
