Word Class: Mana
certain trees (family Verbenaceae) growing in wet areas (jungle, swamp, riverbank) with small white flowers, used for firesticks.
Notes: 139.9.4. Applied focally to Clerodendrum inerme (but not other Clerodendrum spp.) and to Premna acuminata, but is also applicable to the other Premna sp. I know of in the area, P. obtusifolia. For Clerodendrum floribundum and C. cunninghamii see bu[uga, alburrunggu and lhurruman. (these three terms are some- times interchanged among themselves, but in my experience are never applied to the arara spp. listed above). These two Clerodendrum spp. are, unlike arara, also used for medicinal purposes as well as for firesticks.
