E poo-aiho. Saccharum-fatuum. With bundles of this grass, lit up, they allure the fish to the edges of the reefs, carrying them in their hands at night.
E atoorree. Portulacca-lutea. This sort of purslain grows very common in the low islands, where the inhabitants bake and eat it, and account it very good food.
E hootoo. Betonica-splendida. This beautiful tree grows to a considerable height, and bears a very large and specious white flower, full of long purple stamina, with which they sometimes deck their heads, and sometimes stick them in their ears: the fruit, powdered, they throw into the water to kill fish; and of the wood they build small canoes.
E pooamattapeepee. Besleria-laurifolia. The flower of this tree is much admired on account of its sweet scent, for which reason they stick them in their ears and hair, and put them among their garments, and into their monoe. The wood is very tough and lasting, and of it they make drums, and thwarts across their canoes.
E neearohettee. Stachys-dentata, or ruellia-fragrans. The juice of this plant, mixed with several others, they use as a plaister to cure any sort of wounds.
E noonanoona. Boerhavia-procumbens. The stalks of this plant are eaten when they have no better food.
