FOLIA BUCHU.

_Folia Buceo_; _Buchu_, _Bucchu_, _Bucha or Buka Leaves_; F. _Feuilles

de Bucco_; G. _Bukublätter_.

=Botanical Origin=—The Buchu leaves are afforded by three species of

_Barosma_.[427] The latter are erect shrubs some feet in height, with

glabrous rod-like branches, opposite leaves furnished with conspicuous

oil-cells on the toothed margin as well as generally on the under

surface. The younger twigs and several parts of the flower are also

provided with oil-cells. The white flowers with 5-partite calyx, and

the fruit formed of five erect carpels, are often found, together with

small leafy twigs, in the drug of commerce.
