The Caroo plains in Southern Africa are studded
with eshy-leaved plants of the genera aloe
mesembryanthemum, or g marigold, and sta
pelia: the owers of the latter are like star-sh,
and are well known for their disagreeable odour,
which resembles carrion. The buccu-plant, one
of the diosmae, has also a peculiarly fetid smell,
but which so delights the Hottentot ladies, that
they rub their bodies with oil in which it has been
steeped. Flies seem also to possess the same
