bia, and has been given its name from
the effects produced by eating its seedA
The pl mt is OF moderate size, with bright
yellow flowers and soft, velvety seed
pods, each Of which contains two or
three seeds resembling small black beans.
The natives Of the district where the
plant grows dry these seeds and reduce
them to powder. A small dose Of this
powder has similar effects to those aris-
ing from the inhalation of laughing gas.
1t causes the most sober person to dance,
shout and laugh with the boisterous en-
element Of a mailman, and to rush
about cutting the most ridiculous caperu
