The _V. Negundo_ is a small tree like the preceding, but when it grows in the forest it develops to a tree of the first order, yielding a valuable building wood called _molave_ (Sp.) or more properly _molawin_. Leaves compound with 5 leaflets. Secondary petioles short. Flowers in dichotomous panicle. Fruit like that of the foregoing species. _Clerodendron infortunatum_, L. (_C. fortunatum_, Blanco.) Nom. Vulg.--_Kasupangit_, _Gubat_, Tag.; _Saling-wak_, Vis. Uses.--The fresh juice of the leaves is used in India as a vermifuge, according to K. L. Dey; it is also used as a bitter tonic in malarial fever, especially of children. As a tonic and antipyretic it is certainly worthy of recommendation. Dr. Bholanauth Bose calls attention to this plant as a good substitute for _Ophelia chirata_, DC. as a tonic and antipyretic. The infusion of the bruised leaves (10 grams to water 300 cc.) is given up to 200 cc. a day in 3 or 4 doses; the tincture (leaves 60 grams, alcohol 90 %, 500 cc.) is given up to 10 grams a day in 5 or 6 doses. Botanical Description.--A shrub with nearly round stem; leaves opposite, ovate, oblong; acute, entire, slightly downy. Flowers terminal in umbellate panicles, the umbellets opposite and each bearing 3 flowerets. Calyx bluish, long, tubular, somewhat expanded in the middle, divided in 5 parts. Corolla twice as long as the calyx, tube filiform, limb 5-lobed. Stamens didynamous, their lower parts grown to the tube of the corolla. Filaments longer than the corolla. Ovary conical. Style of same length as the stamens. Stigma bifid. Berry dry, quadrate, depressed, the shell hard, 4 grooves, 4 cells, each containing a seed. Habitat.--Very common in Manila and in the forests. LABIATÆ. Mint Family. _Ocimum basilicum_, L. (_O. Americanum_, Blanco.) Nom. Vulg.--_Solasi_, Tag., Pam.; _Bonak_, Vis.; _Sweet Basil_, Eng. _Ocimum gratissimum_, L. (_O. virgatum_ Blanco.) Nom. Vulg.--_Lokoloko_, Tag., Pam.; _Kolonkogon_, Vis. _Ocimum sanctum_, L. (_O. flexuosum_, Blanco.) Nom. Vulg.--_Balanay_, Tag.; _Sacred Basil_, Eng. Uses.--All three species possess a characteristic camphoraceous odor and are commonly grouped under the one name, _albahacas_ (sweet basil). Some natives call them _solasi_ and others _balanay_, but many are able to distinguish the various species correctly. All three have analogous properties, but the most widely used is the _O. basilicum_. These properties are stimulant, diaphoretic, and expectorant, and the infusion is used commonly for flatulent colic and painful dyspepsia. The dry powdered leaves of the _O. sanctum_ are taken as snuff by the natives of India in the treatment of a curious endemic disease characterized by the presence of small maggots in the nasal secretion; this disease is called peenash, and possibly exists in the Philippines though I have never encountered it.
