death will he the result. It would he as safe to pass tbrough fires as to fall into one of these trees. They are found growing , f roth two to three inches high to ten and fifteen feet ; in the old ones tbe stem is whitish, and red berries usually grow on the top. It emits a peculiar, disagreeable smell, but it is best known by its leaf, which is nearly round, having a poiut on the top, and is jagged all round the edge, like the nettle. All the leaves are large — sortie larger than a saucer. " Sometimes," says a traveller, "while shooting turkeys in the scrubs t have entirely ■forgotten the stinging tree till warned of its close proximity by its smell, and I have then found myself in a little forest of them I was only once stung, and that was very lightly. Its effects are curious. It leaves no mark, but the pain is maddening, and, for months after, the part, when touched, is tender in rainy weather or when it gets wet in washing, &c. I have seen a man who treats ordinary pain lightly roll on the ground in agony after being stung , and I bave known a horse bo completely mad after getting into a grove of tbe trees, that he rushed openmouthed at everyone who approached him, and had to be shot in the scrub. Dogs, when stung will rush about, whining piteously, biting pieces from the affected part."
