Peumus (Chilean name). Syn., Boldoa, Boldea, Ruizia. Monimiaceae. The Chilean boldo, a small tree of considerable economic interest.
Evergreen tree or large shrub of 1 species, P. Boldus, Molina (P'. fragrans, Pers. Ruizia fragrans, Ruiz & Pav. Boldoa fragrans, Gay): dioecious: male fls. with 10-12 perianth-lobes, overlapping in 2-3 series, the outer ones herbaceous or membranous, the inner ones more petal-like; stamens numerous; female fls. smaller, the lobes more unequal, after anthesis circumscissile above the disk-bearing base and deciduous: drupes 2-5 or rarely solitary, stipitate on the receptacle; seeds pendulous: the tree attains a height of 20 ft., with lvs. opposite, leathery, very rough and warty, ovate or ovate- elliptic, short-petioled, obtuse. Chile. B.R. 31:57.— The tree has exceedingly hard wood, which is used for making many kinds of implements; it also makes a charcoal said to be prized by smiths above all others. The bark is used in tanning and dyeing. The lvs. are used in medicine. The frs. are edible; they are small berries, sweet and aromatic. Finally it has some ornamental value, being evergreen and fragrant throughout. The fls., which are not very showy, are white, 1/2in. across, and borne in small panicles, each branch of which is parted into three. It has been advertised in S. Calif. The male tree has been cult, under glass in Eu., but scarcely outside of botanic gardens and for its economic interest.
