The leaves of this species vary in shape andsize in different commercial samples, but are of the kind sometimesdistinguished as ovate-ohlong Buchu. 228 ODOEOGRAPHIA. B. betulina (Lodd. Bot. Cab., t. 404, copied in Stephenson andChurchill, t. 121, and Woodville. Bentley and Trimen , t. 45) grows in mountainous places in the district ofClanwilliam, Xorth of Cape Town, and some other parts of thewest of Cape Colony. In its extreme forms it can be readily-distinguished from B. crenulata by its small rigid cuniate leaveswith their blunt re-curved apex and cartilaginous margins set with. BUCHU LEAVES. A.—Barosma ^—Bnrosma —EmpleuTiim —Bitrosma serratifoliu. large spreading denticulations, but plants occur which it is difficultto place in either species. The lea\es of B. hetulina are generallyless esteenjed than those of the other two species here named andare of less commercial value. The leaves of B. hetulina are shorter than the other species, andfrom this circumstance are known in commerce as short BifcMi, or BUCHU. 229 from their more usual shape they have been distinguished asobovate Buchu. In the British Pharmacopoeia they are brieflydescribed as follows:—About three-quarters of an inch long,coriaceous, obovate, with a recurved truncated apex and sharpcartilaginous spreading teeth. B. serratifolia (Bot. Mag., t. 456; Bentley & Trimen, , t. 47), grows in the distri
