The dried thread-like styles and stigmas of Zea Mays L., known asmaize or corn silk, are used in medicine and chopped into short piecesas an adulterant of saffron. The threads are distinguished from saffronby their flattened, strap-shaped form. Under a low power two parallelbundles, one near each margin, are evident.

Cloves are the flower-buds of a small evergreen tree (Eugenia caryo-phyllata Thbg., Jamhosa Caryophylliis Ndz., Caryophyllus aromaticus. Fio. 559. Cloves {Eiigeuui curyofhyllata).

The buds arc either pickedby hand or beaten from the tree with reeds and collected on cloths are usually dried in the sun, during which process the color changesto brown. Dried cloves (Fig. 559) have a rounded or somewhat flattened, wrinkled,adherent calyx tube, about i cm. long and 3 mm. in diameter, whichexpands somewhat at the en
