specificEpithet: behen
occurrenceRemarks:
Label source:  The dry root is of a whitish brown colour, much shrivelled and twisted; near the crown it is marked by numerous circular lines. It may be either a simple tapering root or more or less branched; sometimes a portion of purplish stem remains attached; the average length is about 2 1/2 inches, diameter 3/4 of an inch ; the interior is white and spongy; when soaked in water it swells and becomes mucilaginous. The taste is mucilaginous and slightly bitter. Microscopic examination shows that behen contains no starch. The parenchyma appears to consist almost entirely of muscilage cells. There are numerous large bundles of spiral vessels. This drug has been confounded with Ashva-gandha the root of Physalis somnifera, by Ainslie. It is imported intoBombay from the Persian Gulf in considerable quantities, and is always to be found in the shops. The Hakeems prescribe it largely; they consider it purifies the blood, fattens the body, and generally increases virile power.

specificEpithet: anthelmintica
occurrenceRemarks:
Label source:  The seeds and their properties are sufficiently and correctly described in the Pharmacopoeia of India. They contain no alkaloids or glucoside. The active principle appears to be a resin. Dec 11th 1875 - The genus Vernonia, the largest of the composite order, V.anthelmintica, common in waste places throughout india, furnishes from its seeds by pressure a green coloured oil or fat. These seeds are seen in most of the Indian bazaars, they are of a brown colour and have a bitter nauseous taste; amongst the natives they are highly valued as an anthelmintic, being bruised and adminstered in honey in doses of about a drachm and a half, divided equally, and taken at an interval of a few hours followed by an aperient. There effect is said to be toexpel worms in a lifeless state. 'In Travancore, the bruised seeds ground up in a paste with lime juice are largely employed as a means of destroying pediculi' They were regarded by Dr Gibson as a valuable tonic and stomachic, and besides this they are also said to be diuretic. From the evidence in favour of their use as an anthelmintic, there would seem to warrant further and more careful trials.

occurrenceRemarks:
Label source:  These fruits are about the size of a red currant or black pepper. They have a wrinkled reddish-black husk or skin, which, when removed, is found to contain a single seed, which like others of the genus is readily distinguished by being marked with white dots, formed apparently by the infolding of the endopleura into  the horny albumen; the lower half of the seed has a cup-shaped cavity. The taste is slightly acrid or pungent. In Madagascar the fruit is given for worms, the wood of the shrub being administered as a tonic.

occurrenceRemarks:
Label source:  The root bark is reddish brown externally, transversely fissured, thick and suberous; internally it is white when first removed, but soon turns red upon exposure to the air. It has a rancid heavy odour. A section of the root shows a central woody column, white a very large vascular system, surrounded by a bark almost entirely made up of thin walled parenchymatous cells loaded with large oil globules and containing some starch. There is a good summary of the medicinal uses of this drug in the Pharmacopoeia of India. I think it might be used in this country as a substitute for Mezereon in the Lin. Sinapis Comp. and in Decoct Sarzae Comp. The active principle Plumbagin being soluble in ether an ethereal extract might be made.

specificEpithet: nicotianifolia
occurrenceRemarks:
Label source:  This gigantic Lobelia is common on the Ghats, the lower part of the stem is woody, an inch and a half or more in diam. and almost solid; the upper portion is a hollow tube ending in a crowded head of flower spikes; the latter are about a foot in length, and when the plant is in fruit, are thickly set with globular capsules about the size of a pea, to which a portion of the dry flower is often adherent, the capsules are two celled, each cell containing a fleshy placenta.  The seeds are numerous and very small 1/50th inch in length - oval, flattened and marked with delilcate lines.  Several small tubercles surround the site of the placental attachment; the colour is light brown.  The leaves resemble those of tobacco, they are finely serrated, and covered with simple hairs.  The whole plant when mature is studded with small spots of resinous exudation, and is hot and acrid when chewed.  Six ounces of the dry spikes from which the seeds had fallen yielded half an ounce of dark brown resin whentreated with rectified spirit.  The native name, Bokenul or tubular poison plant, would lead one to infer that the plant is poisonous, but I am not aware that this has ever been proved,  It is said to be antispasmodic in the Pharm of India.  Its acriditybeing due to the resin it contains, a tincture would be an efficient preparation.

It was found in the village of Jarobamba.  A monopetalous epigynous exogen, with a two celled ovary, syngenesious anthers, stigma surrounded by hairs, and valvate irregular corolla, it is at once recognizable.  It appears tobe very acrid,  its aqueous infusion has a burning and acrid taste, not unlike tobacco, and its smell is irritating and nauseating.  Medicinal in Peru.  Its action remarkable in nervous fever; that in Arequipa one, two or three grains of the leaves and flowers, in the form of powder are given in a dose to adults, and act quickly, and an emetic and purgative.  Indians universally employ it as an emetic.  Roots leaves and flowers are used.

Label source:  Also two vials, 1. 89, Platycodon grandiflorum, FP Smith  Convolvulus = Gentiana and 2. 1251, Tang Shen, Tang Sang, Thibet drugs Opuscular source:  This is a Chinese plant belonging to Campanulaceae with twisting stem and greenish flowers,bearing an external resemblance to those of Coboea scandens but much smaller. It has been recently cultivated, with other rare Chinese plants by Messrs Veitch & Son, and is the source of one of the varieties of the Chinese drug known as Tang Shen. In theMuseum collection of Chinese drugs there are two kinds of Tang Shen, and a specimen of the Nutang root. According to Dr A Henry there is no question of C.tangshen yielding large quantites of Tangshen. In the note in Icones Plantarum reference is made to different kinds of the drug as follows: Tangshen is a very important Chinese drug, which is used by the poor as a substitute for the costly ginseng. The name signifies Ginseng from the district of Shang Tang in Shansi, but the drug is now produced in different provinces of Hupeh, Szechuan, Shensi and Shangsi. Ichang and Hankow are the other ports from which the drug is exported to the amount of 500 tons annually, the province of exportation being Hupah, Szechuan and Shengsi. In the Tang district of Hupah large quantities of the wild growing plant are dug up everywhere in the mountains. C.tangshen is the principal source of the drug. The root of C.lanceolata is also said to be collected, but it is much inferior in quality having a disagreeable odour and commanding a very low price, and it bears a different name. Another kind in the market is known as Lutang ie Tangshen from the Luan prefecture of Shangsi. This is perhaps the root of Campanumoea pilosula, from which Pere David collected near Pekin. This plant is given as the source of the drug from Tientsin by Anton in his alphabetical list of Chinese drugs Nos 853 and 1251. Another varitey of the drug known as Ming tan, is produced in the province of Anhwei, of which the annual export of Wuhu amounts to 60tons annually. The plant yielding Ming tan has not yet been identified but Dr A Henry thinks it will prove to be an adenophora. In the Chi-wuming, according to Dr A Henry, a picture is given of what is called local Tangshen as distinguished from the official drug, and the picture in Folio 23 sheet 54, looks like Camponumoea javanica Bl.

Vide Dr Pappes Flora Capensis Medicae pages 26-27. Label source:  Found along banks of streams. Both are used in decoctions or preserved in spirits for colds and coughs. The Osmotopsis is impregnated with a great deal of an aromatic volatile oil, which, from its odour and taste, seems to contain camphor. Hence its virtues as an antispasmodic, tonic, and resolvent. In the form of infusion, it is frequently and advantageously employed in cough, hoarseness, and in diseases of the chest generally, and is said to be also very serviceable in flatulent colic. Infused in spirit, it acts as a powerful external remedy, and Thunberg relates that he has successfully cured paralysis with embrocations of the Spiritus Bellidis. It would be worth while to distil the essential oil, with which this plant abounds, and which, from its peculiarity, shows an affinity to cajeput-oil. The Osmites hirsuta Less a plant common on the mountains of Fransche Hoek and Drakenstein, having a similar smell, is known in the Colony as Van der Merwe's Kruiden.

This consists of the flower heads, and bears some resemblance to Levant santonica, than which the flower heads are smaller. The paleae are oval, obtuse and membranous, about 6 in number, and closely imbricated. The scales separate more readily than in santonica, and are mixed with the flower heads, as well as portions of the capillary leaflets. The taste is slightly pungent and aromatic, but not bitter.  The plant flowers in August and is not an inland but a littoral species.

Label source:  The whole of the wormwood (Alsem) has a strong balmy smell, and a bitter, aromatic, but nauseous taste, owing to a green essential oil which it contains. The herb is tonic, antispasmodic, and anthelmintic, and very useful in debility of the stomach, visceral obstructions, jaundice, hypochondriasis, or similar evils, while its efficacy as a vermifuge is generally admitted. The best forms for using it are the infusion, the decoction, and tincture, the latter being preferred by the colonists.A strong infusion is used externally as a collyrium in weakness of the eyes, and the pounded leaves and stalks are employed as a discutient in oedema and sugillations.

This root was not presented with the others but was offered in the London market under the name of kesso and was imported from Japan, as a product of that country it seems to demand notice here.  The root resembles that of Valeriana officinalis in general appearance and odour, but differs in the central portion to which the rootlets are attached, being very small and short, rarely exceeding one third of an inch in diam.  The rootlets form a compact tuft from two to three inches long, are of a dark brown colour, and have a slightly scaly surface, by which and by the colour they are easily distinguished from valerian root.  The odour of the root is even more powerful than that of Valerian  officinalis.  The taste is bitter and aromatic.  It grows in stony mountainous places and blossoms in July.

occurrenceRemarks:
Label source:  This valerian has crooked roots about two inches long, and from a 1/4 inch in diam. of a dull brown colour, marked with transverse ridges, and thickly studded with circular prominent tubercles, to a few of which thick rootlets still remainattached.  The crown of the root is marked by a number of bracts; the lower end is blulnt; the root is very hard and tough, and the fractured surface greenish brown.  Odour like valerian but much more powerful.  Examined under the microscope the outer bark is seen to be composed of ten or twelve layers of compressed cells; within this is a starchy parenchyma, and next to it a cambium layer; within the cambium layer is a broken ring of vascular bundles, and lastlly, a starchy parenchyma thickly studded with conglomerate masses of large cells, having greenish yellow contents of a resinous appearance.  The drug is mostly used in Bombay as a perfume, but there can be little doubt that it would prove an efficient substitute for valerian.

It grows in vertical sections like the sugar cane stalk with holes near the divisions from the exterior - hollow in each sectionwhere the insects live until they gain wings and fly away. (A) is a piece of the ?? tree showing three of the divisions with arrow points showing the holes of entrance. At the times of packing the insects in the form of black ants are numerous. Letter dated July 26 1920 Dear Mr Holland, I am sorry to have kept Mr Boodle waiting for the leaf specimens of Okoo - the ants you wanted seem to have disappeared. I expected to have bought the parcel over with me last week but was unable to get so far. In the catalogue of the timber exhib., I found the name Okha as a native name of Eriodendron anfractuosum and thought it was what I wanted, but the leaves apparently differ. With the leaves there are a number of smaller stems than the one I left with you and they show well marked insect holes. I hope to call one day this week and then if a time can be arranged I could take you to see my soya plot at Chiswick. The plants look fairly well and would be better with better weather. I remain yours faithfully J North.

From the information given with British Pharmacopoeia 1953 and in Wallis's textbook. I agree with you that the sample is almost certainly C. acuminata. Richardson tells me that there is no sample of C. acuminata in the museums, so prehaps this sample might be kept there for patrons reference. C.R Metcalfe.

One root from each has been examined.  The structure of the wood and cortex is practically the same in the two.  Thicker root has a thicker cortex. Three samples of Ipecacuanha roots as supplied by Lewis and Peat sent by CH Spencer from Stansted, RSO Essex.  An examination of the roots showed no important instances of difference.  The compound starch grains in the cortex reach a larger max size in thick roots than in thin ones.  As far as the structure of the root goes, the Rio and Hohore samples might be from the same var., though they may be diff. vars.  The Carthagena  root is held to be a distinct sp from the typical Ipecacuanha agrees so nearly in structure with the Rio and Johore Specimens.  Signed LaB 15.xi.15.

Extract of letter from Jenkin and Phillips to Mr Morris:  We may say in passing that the fine old S American HO Loxa quills mentioned in the letter by W David Howard are sold for the French market for making wine.  This bark has a peculiar flavour and bouquet which are recognized and well known by the Parisians which fragrant quality or bouquet, are quite wanting in the Loxa bark when grown in India, Jamaica or Java.  Fine silvery HD South American Loxa would fetch upon this market 2/2 to 2/6 per pound.

The tree which is considered by Mr Howard to yield the typical red bark of Ruiz and Pavon. The bark of this tree is thick and resinous and externally is much less marked with warts than the Ceylon bark. Indeed the quills might easily be mistaken for those of Calisaya bark by an ordinary observer.'

Harrison & Self - Letter M.325.32  29.iv.32 Cinchona bark DFC 1/2, 8 & 4/53  Sulana Mr Holland - The 'Huannco bark' is clearly from a species of Cinchona. It is probably not the same species as the Huannco bark recently received from Schrempft and Co., but more strongly resembles C.micrantha judging from the Museum material.   It is also similar  to C.calesaya but is absolutely distinct from Rumija bark CRM 3.5.32

We find it to contain Total Alkaloid ... 4%, Quinine, calculated as crystalline quinine sulphate ((C20 H24 N2 O2)2, H2SO47 1/2 H2O) .... 0.03%   By this mail I am sending you a further sample of Cinchona bark on which I should be glad to have a Broker's opinion if not troubling you to much. This comes from the region of Bucaramanga and is labelled; a large number of trees have been planted in that locality and I understand that the sample is from cultivated trees or rather from trees that have been planted, as there is little cultivation given to anything in this country.

Label source:  Mixed cinchona alkaloids.  This preparation is made from the red cinchona bark grown at the Govt plantations, Darjeeling, and contains all the febrifugal alkaloids of the C succirubra in the relative proportion in which they exist naturally in the bark. Its efficacy in the treatment of fever has been carefulfly tested by a number of experienced medical officers.  The reports received clearly show that it possesses to very nearly the same extent, the antiperiodic properties of quinine, and may be safely substituted for the latter in the treatment of ordinary fever and ague.  It is issued by Govt at a low price as a cheap and efficient febrifuge for the poorer classes in India, and is not intended to replace quinine in serious and complicated cases, or among those who can afford to pay for the more expensive drug.  Administration :  It may be given the in the same doses as quinine.  Natives frequently prefer to swallow it in the state of powder, or to rub it up for themselves with a little goor or honey before taking it.  It may also be conveniently made into pills with a little lime juice.  One fluid drachm of lemon juice is sufficient to convert a drachm of the powder into a good pill mass.  The febrifuge does not mix very well with water. For dispensary purposes it is convenient to prepare and keep a concentrated solution which simply requires dillution before administration.  The flollowing formula may be used for this purpose.  Febrifuge - 3 ounces, troy.  Acid sulp dil pb -3 fluid ounces.  Water - 17 fluid ounces.  One fluid drachm of this solution contains six grain of febrifuge, and should be diluted with at least on ounce of water before administration. The quantity of acid indicated will dissolve perfectly all the alkaloids present, but a small protion of the colouring matter will remain insoluble.  This should be disregarded, or, if preferred, it may be separated by filtering the solution; but a larger proportion of acid should on no account be employed.  Price.  - To the generalpublic, 20 rupees per pound tin.  Postage 12 annas extra per tin.  Cash must accompany all orders.

Delessert's collection is found a bark called cinchona amarilla de Juta y de Chito, ascribed to the cinchona lutea of Pavon, which, according to the botanical specimens of Pavon (and to the classification of the Quinologia and of Lambert etc) is a variety of C.condaminea, or perhaps more strictly of the lanceolata.  The leaves of the C.lutea are narrower than those of the C.lanceolata of Mutis. The var. Pitayensis, according to Dr Weddell is folis lanceolatis utrinque acutissimis. 6501853 Probably the macho or male (for which see Weddell Histoire). The red sort.

occurrenceRemarks:
Note source:  No photograph Label source:  The larger and stouter quills (c) are richer in alkaloids, especially in cinchonine I conclude, therefore, that the old original 'crown bark', the fine Loxa of Uritusinga, was one which well merited its character, on account of the quantity of alkaloids contained, which (taking the whole together, for the bark is rich in cinchonine, and calisaya is not) equals the sum total of alkaloids in some specimens of good calisaya bark. When the trunks or boughs are covered with multiplied layers of bark, according to the number of years they ahve attained, the external layers are without succulence, too dry, crusty, hardened and woody-fungus or shrivelled, and the internal parts have sap only in those parts by which the sap or nutritious juice, by means of which the plant grows, ascends or descends, and this smallest part of an old bark (cortezon) is the only useful part, since all the rest is not only useless but hurtful on account of styticity, or other contrary qualities, which the bark (cortezas) have in their state of perfection, and when they are free from the multitude of extraneous bodies which have adhered to the thick barks (cortezones) for so many years. For this reason they have burnt, by order of the king, on the heights of San Bernard of Madrid, considerable quantities of thick barks (cortezones). The barks of the young branches have not their juices in a state of so great activity as those of medium size which have arrived at the state of maturity, yet it is undeniable that they are more efficacious than the cortezones with so many outer coats, since they are free from so many thick and shrivelled coverings, formed by time and embrowned by the heat of the sun, increased by the lichens and other extraneous bodies, and rotted by the unnumbered rains which have fallen upon them, as happens with boughs of other trees.

occurrenceRemarks:
Note source:  No photo. Label source:  No 84 Peruviana 1867. Close dense powder. The precipitate from acid solution waxy brown liquor. Cinchona nitida is found under No. 66 of the barks marked C. nitida Flora Peruviana esbuena del Peru. The specimen in the collection of Pavon is grey bark of fine quality v different from any vars of condaminea. It is not as dense , but more resinous, the outer coat is more even, and does not present the varieties of surface in the latter bark. The periderm is on the whole adherent; but where it separates from the derm it peels off in flakes and leaves a brown indented surface. The internal surface is yellowish red near cinnamin colour. I t is classed by Guibourt as red bark under No. X1 Quinquina rouge de Lima. The colour of the bark verges on the reddish tint, and the difficulty in isolation of alkaloid of commercial red bark is also present in this species. Guibourt says that by uncompleted analysis he found this bark rich in cinchonine and quinine. I confirm this viewand have obtained about 0.571 quinine, 0.142 quinidine crystallised, and 1.4 cinchonine - total 2.113 %. The quinine however is in a state that makes it difficult to crystallise in salts, contrasting with the species C. condaminea with which this tree has been identified by some observers. Moreover our term 'grey', as given to the bark on account of the lichens which cover it, is but an imperfect translation of the ? which implies the aspect of a head silvered over with ???.

Mr Cross, the explorer who was employed incollecting Cinchona plants and seeds in the Cinchona regions of South America for the Indian Government, regards it as the pubescent form of 'Cuchicara', referred to by Dr Spruce in the parliamentary Blue book of 1863 page 116. Mr McIvor stated that it isa hybrid between Cinchona succirubra and C. officinalis.

That it came from Loxa there is no doubt, as the few specimens of it from the estate of Dodabetta are growing amongst the crown barks introduced from that region. It differs however, very much from the C. crispa of Tafalla, which belongs to the C. officinalis group of Weddell. In general appearance it is more nearly allied toWeddells section pahudianae. Its bark is also very peculiar, in fact unique.

The term magnifolia applied to this plant is purely a local one as it is in no way related to the C magnifolia ofRuiz and Pavon.  The Kew authorities, under date 24 Jan 1882, remarked it may be said with some certainty that the Nilgiri is not the Pata de gallinazo of Chimborazo.

Note source:  No photo Opuscular source:  Letter from Imperial Institute 5 May 1927 D/590: Dear Professor Greenish, I am sending under separate cover a specimen of Cinchona bark which has been received here from Uganda. It is stated that the bark was procured from trees just over 5 years old which were raised from seed obtained from the Government Cinchona Plantation, Munsong, Kalimpong, Behgal, (Bengal), but no information as to the botanical identity is given. I shall be greatly obliged if you will kindly give me your opinion as to the variety of Cinchona from which the bark is derived. On examination here it has been found to contain 6.8 % of total aklaloids, including 3.7 % of quinine which is equivalent to about 5% of the crystalline sulphate. Yoursvery truely Earnest Goulding. Letter from Greenish to Goulding May 9 th 1927. My dear Goulding, The Cinchona bark you send has the characters of C. succirubra and this is what I believe it to be. The percentage of quinine is high for a true succirubra bark but there may be some reason for this that we do not know. Yours truely Henry G Greenish.

I am unable to give any information as to the origin of this China cupaea. It occurs in trade but rarely, and the % of quinine is too small to be useful. Never the less I myself think that it must be the product of an unknown Cinchona. The Drimys granatensis is one of a variety of forms and the product comes in commerce very rarely, but this isowing to its not being accepted in pharmacy. I do not see why it should be useful as a tonic and cordial ingredient. Yours very truely John Elliot Howard.

Note source:  No photo. Label source:  It is beyond contradiction that the Cinchona oblongifolia of Dr Mutis constitutes one and the same species with our Cinchona magnifolia, or lutescens of Ruiz. Suplemento p. 53. If named according to the white epidermis, this bark may well range among the white quinquinas; if regarded according to the general tint of the outer coat (as in samples given to me by Dr Weddell, and in one from Peru which I obtained from commerce in the year 1838), it may be called, as by Ruiz and Pavon, amarillo or yellow; if the purple red, or sometimes pomegranate colour of the surface of the derm (denuded of the outer coat) be the general character it may acquire, as it did here, the name pomegranate bark; and if the general red coloured substance be considered, it may be named (as it was by Mutis) roxa or red.

This bark is a kind of Jaen-looking bark, in coarse, twisted, white-brown quills, with a peculiar mammellated appearance, owing to some obscure warts. I have seen it imported, singly as well as mixed with other kinds. Dr Weddell has remarked the tree as a variety of C. ovata, of which he has a botanical specimen, and has favoured me with a portion of the bark, which agrees with this of Pavon.

I am exceedingly obliged to your son for his kind offer to make some bark analyses for me. I am affraid I shall not be able to see your Calisayas in flower, as I cannot leave the country at present. Believe me my dear sir your very truly. Capt. Cox. 3. Stratford 3rd December 1877. My dear uncle, I had on Fridayafternoon a very interesting call from Capt Cox of Ibynaad ?. He bought for you some samples of Calisaya - leaf, flowers, seeds, bark - of which one in appearance is singularly like the old sort of which we have a sample marked 'Morada or Neyra' black coated deep cracks and thick bark, the other like the present bark. He tells me that he sent specimens of the very Calisaya of which we had the splendid sample this spring to Brouyton who discouraged the propagation as it was so good. He says the two sorts that grow well with him are the calisaya and succirubra. He is very desirous to get hold of some Ledgeriana seed but is told in London that Ledger has some but will not sell it except in one lot for 500 pounds. This Capt Cox says is too much for an individual planter to pay on spec. He is not incouraging about the Government plantations. He fears Mr McIvor is dead and now Broughton gone that no attention will be paid to the plantations and that they will be badly worked. I hope Markham will not leave thatIndia Office till they are looked after. Nothing very new here; we are getting on well but the architects and builders are annoyingly slow in reinstating the ?? well?. Ever your affectionate nephew David Howard. 4.

Label source:  A very common annual plant, generally about 8 inches high, stems winged; leaves thick, sessile, decurrent, obovate, bristle serrate, covered with down consisting of long white hairs; flower heads solitary, mostly terminal, subglobular, thesize of a morse bean, purplish when fresh, but lose their colour when dried roots fibrous.  The drug generally consists of the whole plant, but the capitula are sometimes sold separately.  The taste is a little bitter; the odour of the capitula terebinthinate.  Moondi appears to be well known all over India as an alterative and purifier of the blood; the peculiar odour may be observed in the urine and perspiration of those who take it.  It is considered to be hot, and moist in the second degree.  Its uses in native mediicine are fully described in the Makhzan ul Adwiya.  the flower heads of this plant will probably be found to yield an essential oil likely to contain its active principles.

Label source:  Stem filiform, procumbent, bearing roots and leaves here and there; leaves crowded, sinuate - pinnatifid, lobes obtuse or sub acute; peduncles rather shorter than the leaf, having at the top scaly bracts which are scarious on the margin. (Bombay Flora p.132) This plant has fleshy roots about the size of a croquill and 6 to 8 inches long; when fresh they are yellowish white. A section shows a yellow central fibro-vascular column, containing very large fenestrated vessels arranged in a radiating manner. Beyond the radii the parenchyma is loaded with large colourless bodies of irregular size and shape, which gradually dimish in number towards the cortex where the parenchyma is not occupied by them. The cellular structure is delicate and the cells large. These bodies appear to be cells distended by some solid, nearly transparent matter  as they always correspond in form and position with neighbouring empty cells This plant is much used in Goa as a substitute for Taraxacum.

occurrenceRemarks:
Label source:  Chili. P.J. 23.4.1892. Label source:  The specimens received consist of a woody stem with somewhat crowded coriaceous leaves less than 1 inch long and oblanceolate in outline, the widest portion of the leaf being less than 1/2 inch across.In the broadest part, which is above the middle, the leaf has two or three short triangular teeth, and it tapers below into a slightly amplexicaul base. Both the stem and leaves present a varnished appearence due to its extruded resin. The taste is faintly aromatic, resembling slightly that of patchouli, but without bitterness. The plant is a native of the high Cordilleras of the province of Coquimbo. Its medicinal properties appear to be due to the prescence of the resin. Internally it is employedin the form of an infusion as a stimulant in weak digestion. It is also reputed to possess emmenagogue properties. Externally it is applied for healing the wounds of animals. The plant is described in Gay's 'Flora of Chile' Vol 4 p.42. According to Baille it hasbeen found useful in diarrhoea and acute and cronic dysentery (see Pharm Journ (3) Vol xix p. 685 under Hysteronica baylahuen). Pharm Journ 23 .4.92.

occurrenceRemarks:
Label source:  Chau-to-ko (13) Syn. Tian-T'ang, Porter Smith, Chinese Mat. Med. p.224 This drug consists of short portions of the slender stems half an inch to one inch in length and one to two lines broad, with one or two strongly recurved hooks. The whole is of a brown colour and has a an astringent taste. These curious hooks do not consist, as described by Dr Porter Smith, of the stipules, but of the stalk which bear the flower heads. The flower stalks, as described in Bently & Trimens Med. Plants arefurnished near the middle with a few bracts, beyond which the peduncle is more slender. After the fall of the fruit the portion of stem below the bracts elongates, hardens and forms a strong recurved hook by means of which the plant climbs. On some of the hooks the traces of the fall of the peduncle and bract may still be seen, on others, which have probably arisen from abortive inflorescences, there is no sign of them. It is probable that these hooks are also obtained from U.acida Roxb., a plant which is used in the Malay Islands in the same manner. The hooks possess an astringent property, and a wine is made from them used for infantile diseases according to Dr Porter Smith. Neither of these species are mentioned in Franchet and Savatiers work, and this drug may therefore be a Japanese importation from China.

Label source:  A good description of this fruit, with an interesting account of its properties, will be found in Mr Moodeen Sheriffs 'Appendix' to the Pharmacopoeia of India. I may add that the greyish pulp surrounding the seeds is composed of large oval cells containing a little granular matter. The pulp of the pericarp is remarkable for numerous large reddish brown stony cells. The epidermis is formed of tesselated cells of irregular size and shape; the albumen of the seeds is horny and translucent. This drug is much used in native practice, and is well worthy of attention.

specificEpithet: obovatum
occurrenceRemarks:
Label source:  Both of these trees grow in this neighbourhood, and both yield a bitter bark in common use among the natives as a tonic. The bark of the H. excelsum is much the most bitter and may be distinguished from that of H. obovatum by its red colour; it is probably the most valuable but I am not aware of either of the barks having been properly tested in European practice. The minute structure of these barks resembles that of the Cinchona but the bundles of liver cells are larger, especially in H. obovatum; the spiral and laticiferous vessels also are more numerous, the latter being very large in H. obovatum and exuding when cut a waxy latex. In H. excelsum many of the cells are filled with a red colouring matter as in Cinchona bark, and there is acontinuous ring of liver cells near the junction of the bark with the wood; the liber cells in both varieties exhibit a large central cavity. The bark examined was from a branch above one inch in diam.

Label source:  Royal Gardens Kew, Museum, Memorandum. Subject: Report on a sample of coffee (Coffea stenophylla) received from the Department of Agriculture - Trinidad Feb 27th 1911. Director, I have submitted the sample to a coffee expert in Mincing Lane, London E.C. who classifies it as a very small coffee, not evenly cured and apparently immature. The colour is an improvement - upon that of African (Angola) coffee and coffee of this description would realise in the London market at the present time from 56/- to 57/- per cwt. It may however be noted that the present market value of this product is somewhat high. It is suggested that a larger bean would find a better market and that the berry should be fully ripe before picking; should be carefully pulped and the seeds washed and forwarded here in the parchment for the final processes. Signed The Keeper 3/3/1911.

Label source:  The plant here figured is one of the most singular ever imported in living state into this country, and it belongs to a genus- epiphytic Rubiaceae, which have been long known from their singular habit of forming often spinous tubers of great size.  Interior is galleried by ants of various sps. To enter into any details of the history of plants - In 1874, it consisted on 2 very imperfectly known genera Hydnophytum and Myrmecodia, whereas in 1884, there appeared a monograph of Signor Beccarion insect nesting plants. Of Myrmecodia itself there are 18 sps besides this one, of which details were sent to Beccari, who did not recognize it as any of those known to him, the genus extends from Sumatra and Singapore to New Guinea, N Australia and the Solomons Archipelago.  For the plant here figured the Royal Gardens are indebted to the liberality of Messrs Veitch, who imported it from Brisbane in 1884, with the info that it was found in the gulf of Carpentaria, and is extremely rare there.  In came to Kew in Jan 1886, in seeding condition, and flowered in the following Feb, it continues to flourish as do seedling plants raised from its fruit.  It requires great heat and is treated like an epiphytic orchid. I have named it after the eminent botanist and traveller alluded to above. JDH

Liverpool 8 May 1919. - Dear Sir, Our agent in Duala, Cameroons has sent home to us 2 samples of bark which he says represent an article being purchased for shipment to this country.  The samples are posted to you under separate cover.  One sample is marked good and the other no good.  He goes on to say:  'The former is I understandvalued at home at about 120 pounds sterling per ton.  It is diff to obtain the bark as the services of an expert are necessary.  It must not be too young or too old and must be thoroughly dry.  If young it may not have attained its medicinal properties and if too old it may have lost them.  There is another bark (marked no good) which in appearence is the same, yet it is deadly poison I believe.  You will see therefore how careful one must be in the purchase of the article'. May we ask you to kindly giveus a report on the two samples and indicate to us how they might be readily distinguished one from the other. (4) Sample reply African Association May 22, 1919. - Inform them in ref to their letter of 8th instant that the 2 samples from the Cameroons submitted for identification are probably both Corynantha.  No ready means of distinguishing the barks can be suggested, but considering the diff in age of the barks they may be taken as belonging to the same sp.  They closely resemble Corynanthe johimbe, the Yohimbe of the Cameroons or Endun of the French Congo, from that the alkaloid Yohimbine is obtained.  The sp marked good may be true Yohinbe.

Label source:  History and uses - Madder is used in Hindu medicine as a colouring agent, medicated oils are boiled with it to give them colour.  It is also a useful external astringent, and is applied to inflamed parts, ulcers, fractures, etc.  Chakradatta recommends madder rubbed with honey as an application to the brown spots of pityriasis versicolor.  The Sansrit name for madder is Manjishtah.  Under the names of tuvvah and runas, Arabic and Persian writers treat of madder, probably the poduce of R tinctorium, as the roots which come from Afghanistan appear to be identical with those of the European sp.  They do not make any distinction between the sp, but simply mention a wild and cult var.  The Mahometans consider the drug to be deobstruent, and prescribe it in paralytic aflictions, jaundice, obstructions in the urinary passages, and amenorrhoea.  They mention the fuit as useful in hepatic obstruction, and a paste made from the roots with honey as a good application to freckles and other discolorations of the skin.  The whole plant is reputed to be alexipharmic, it is also hung up in houses to avert the evil eye, and tied to the necks of animals with the same object.  Ainslie observes that the Hakkeems are in the habit of prescribing an infusion of the madder root as a grateful and deobstruent in the cases of scanty lochial discharge after lying in (Mat Ind II p 18). In another notice of the article (Op cit i. p202), he remarks that it would appear to be chiefly produced in Kachar, and the root is in great demand in the adjacent countries for dyeing their coarse cloths and stuffs red; the Nepalese are in the habit of bartering it for rock salt and borax.  Kinneir and Tavernier notice the abundance of madder in Persia and Makran.  Dr G Playfair, in anote appended to his translation of the Taleef i shareefee (p150) states that if taken to the extent of about three drachms several times daily, it powerfully affects the nervous system, inducing temp delirium etc, with evident determination to the uterine system.  The plant is common on the higher ghats in the Bombay Presidency, but the Bombay market draws its supplies chiefly from Kelat through Sind.  The imported article fetches a higher price than that grown in India.  Description - Madder root consists of a short stock from which numerous cylindrical roots, about the size of a quill, diverge; these are covered by a brownish suber, which peels off in flakes, disclosing red brown bark, marked by longitudinal furrows.

Aitchison says it is cultivated throughout the country in East Persia and takes three years for the proper size of the root to form. It is largely grown at Anar-dara, Koin, and Yezd, whence the root is exported in quanity to Herat. From Herat it is re-exported in all directions to Afghanistan proper and India, besides in some bulk, to Turkestan. It affords a well known red dye for carpets. The root is used as a dye-stuff and a drug throughout the East. (K.B. 1931 p.336)

occurrenceRemarks:
Label source:  Tian T'ang, Porter Smith, Chinese Mat. Med p.224 This drug consists of short portions of the slender stems half an inch to one inch in length and one to two lines broad, with one or two strongly recurved hooks. The whole is of a brown colour and has an astringent taste. These curious hooks do not consist, as described by Porter Smith, of the stipules, but of the stalk which bears the flower heads. The flower stalks, as described by Bentley and Trimen's 'Medincinal Plants' are furnished near the middle with a few bracts beyond which the peduncle is more slender. After the fall of the fruit the portion of the stem below the bracts elongates, hardens and forms a strong recurved hook by means of which the plant climbs. On some of the hooks thetraces of the fall of peduncle and bract may still be seen, on others, which have probably arisen from abortive inflorescences, there is no sign of them. It is probable that these hooks are also obtained from U.acida, Roxb. a plant which is used in the Malay Islands in the same manner. The hooks possess astringent properties, and a wine is made from them used for infantile diseases as according to Dr Porter Smith. Neither of these species are mentioned in Franchet and Savatier work, and this drug may therefore be a Japanese importation from China.

In external appearance and size this drug bares a strong resemblance to the rhizome of Polygonatum officinale (Solomons Seal); the dise like scars left by the aerial stems are, however, arranged in a somewhat spiral manner, and are rarely more than half an inch apart. The transverse section of the root is of a dirty white colour, horny consistency, and is marked near the circumference with a ring of linear, loosely packed, radiating, vascular bundles. The taste is bitter. The rhizome has no distinctive odour. The Japanese name, according to Mr Takemura, means bamboo knotted ginseng, Tsiku meaning bamboo, set a knot or joint, and nin-jin ginseng, or in other words a root similar to ginseng, but having scars like those of the bamboo rhizome. The above identification is given with uncertainity as I have not been able to obtain eitherauthenticated specimens of the root of Aralia edulis or a description of it. It is said to be often cultivated in Japan, and is also found wild, flowering in October. When young it is called Sika, when older udo, and when mature dosjen, according to Koempfer.

Mr Moideen Sheriff has recently drawn attention to its emetic action in his 'Supplement to the Pharmacopoeia of India. He says it has proved itslf an efficient and safe emetic in doses of 50 grains; in smaller doses it is nausiant and febrifuge. The bark is very bitter, and its repute iin skin diseases is not without foundation. If it is continued for sufficient period its influence over them is greater than that of Calotropis gigantea. The tree is not uncommon in the Concons and Deccan; it may be seen at Elephanta near Bombay and also at Tanna. I have not seen it used medicinally.

It also furnishes a sort of resin, which is easily procurable by making incisions into the root while it is fresh. It has been shown from chemical experiments, that the root of this plant contains an alkaloid, which combined with acids, assumes the form of neutral salts. Thus the arctopium sulphuricum consists of small scaly white crystals which are astringent in taste, and which in half grain doses produce coagulation of the saliva within the mouth.

occurrenceRemarks:
Label source:  Various stages in the life history of the celery leaf miner - celery leaf mined by grubs, grub magnified, grubs or larvae, fly magnified, chrysalis or pupa, chrysalis magnified and perfect fly. Life History - the celery fly lays her eggs on on in the celery leaves, (and also on the leaves of parsnips) the maggots feed between the under and upper side of the leaves, causing large blister like patches, and when full fed they turn to chrysalids. Sometimes they turn in the leaf, but more commonly the maggots drop down and turn in the ground. They go through their changes very quickly, so that there may be several broods in the year, and attack may be found from the middle of May until Christmas. The maggots of the autumn brood turn to chrysalids in the ground. Prevention and remedies - pinching the maggot in the leaf, or nipping out the blistered bit and destroying it checks much of the insect, but for the time being does nearly as much harm to the plant as the maggot would have done. Refuse leaves that are infested should be destroyed, as if thrown to manure heaps the maggots will probably go through their changes almost as numerously as if still on the plants, and the fly shortly starts new attack. It has been found that soot sprinkled on the leaves will sometimes check attack; also a mixture of one part quick lime one part gas lime that has been exposed at least one month, and two parts of earth and soot all well mixed together and scattered throughly on the plants and ground has been foundservicable, but no dressing can be throughly trusted to prevent or stop attack. If the plant is weak, or suffers from drought it will necessarily fail much sooner than when there is a healtly luxuriant growth, and as heavy rain will sometimes check attackfor a while, probably heavy drenchings of water would do so likewise. Celery or parsnips should not be planted on ground infested the previous year.

kingdom: Plantae

genus: Ferula
specificEpithet: galbaniflua
occurrenceRemarks:
Label source:  History, uses etc. - Besides the plant which is placed at the head of this article Boissier makes another sp - F. rubricaulis, to grow in Persia.   Berszezow, however, regards it as only a var of F galbaniflua.  He states, though not from personal observation that its gum resin which constitutes Persian galbanum, is collected for communal? purposes around Ramadan (confer Pharmacogr) Persian brokers in Bombay state that the galbanum plant is very abundant between Shiraz and Kirman, and there would seem to be no reason to doubt that this market is supplied from that district.  The stems, fruits, and flowers, which often come here mixed with the drug appear to me to answer to the description of either plant.  The old Hindu writers make no mention of galbanum; Ainslie found that the Tamil physicians were unacquainted with it.  In many Mohometan works the notices of galbanum appear to have been copied from Greek writers,  the synonyms given being generally Barzad and Kinneh.  The author of the 'Makhzan-ul-adwiya' speaking of Barzad, says it is called Kinneh in Arabic, Khalbani in Greek, and Bireja or Ganda-biroza in Hindu, and is the produce of an umbelliferous plant like that which produces sagapenum, but he adds that the drug which he has metwith in India under these names is the produce of a tree called deodar, growing in the north of India.  His experience accords with that of the present day, the only ganda-biroza obtainable being the turpentine of Pinus longifolia. In Bombay Persian Galbanum is known as Jawashir. On referring to the 'Makhzan ' I find this word explained as an Arabic corruption of the Persian gaoshir. The author says that it is a fetid gum resin, and describes its collection from an umbelliferous plant, its appearance etc, and with regard to its properties informs us that it is a attenuant, detergent, antispasmodic, and expectorant and prescribed in paralytic affections, hysteria, and chronic bronchitis, also on account of its stimulant action upon the uterus. External itis used as a plaster. In short, he enumerates the uses to which galbanum is generally applied. It is then clear that the Arabs and Persians have not identified the  Persian Gaoshir with the galbanum of Greek writers. To the native practitioners of India galbanum may be said to be an unknown drug, the bulk of what is imported into Bombay being sent to Egypt and Turkey as Jawashir. It is hardly necessary to add that those writers that have identified jawashir with opoponax can never have seen the latter drug. I have never met with opoponax in Bombay. Description - Jowashir is a yellow or greenish yellow fluid of the consistency of thick honey and having an odour between that of Levant galbanum and sagapenum. It generally arrives mixed with portions of the stem, flowers, and fruit of the plant; the root is rarely to be met with. I have never seen this gum resin quite dry but in some samples the consistency has been sufficient to enable to trace the outline of separate tears in the sticky mass. The fragmentsof the plant found in jawashir agree with the botanical characters of F. galbaniflua. Chemical composition - for an account of the chemistry of Levant galbanum, which is the ordinary galbanum of commerce, the reader is referred to the 'Pharmacographia' and other standard works of Materia Medica. According to Hirschsohn, good Persian galbanum should yield to petroleum spirit not less than 65%  consisting of volatile oil and resin, the average yield of Levant galbanum being between 60 and 63%. The amount of ash in Levant galbanum should not exceed 4%, being less than the ash of ordinary lump Levant galbanum by 2%. The best Levant in tears gives the same ash as clean Persian. As a qualitative reaction to distinguish the varieties of galbanum, hydrochloric acid can be used, as it colours the Persian resin yellow-red, passing into red, and the Levant different shades of violet. The petroleum spirit extracts from the Persian sorts give, with nitric acid a rose red colour; those from the Levant sorts different shades of violet bromine vapour colours; the Persian weakly or intensely violet, but the Levant yellow. The ether-resin from both kinds of galbanum upon boiling with water gives indications of umbelliferon. As to the origin of galbanum, Hirschsohn believesfrom its varied behaviour with reagants, the different action of the volatile oils upon polarised light, and the different proportions of volatile oils to the gum resin that it is derived from different plants. He also points out that the Levant galbanumoccurring in commerce contains no fruit and seldom stalks, but always slices of root, whilst the Persian galbanum always contains fruit and stalks. Commerce - Jawashir is imported from Persia, where it is said to be collected between Shiraz and Kirman. The imports are irregular; sometimes large quanities arrive; most of it is re-exported to Egypt and Turkey.  Dr Dymock

occurrenceRemarks:
Opuscular source:  Local name, Hing. In a former number of the Pharmaceutical Journal I briefly noticed the botanical source of this drug, interesting on account of the enormous quantities of it which are used as a condiment by almost every class of vegetarians in India, and for its medicinal properties, which are much more powerful than those of the officinal Assafoetida. Early in 1874, the late Mr Hanbury was kind enough to forward to me the proof sheets of the article upon Assafoetida in the 'Pharmacographia', with a request that I would obtain further information upon the subject. Unfortunately this could not be done in time for publication in that work, as it involved sending to Persia for specimens of the plant and drug. In August 1874 through the kindness of Mr Ardeshir Nehrban, a Parsee merchant, of Yezd, I obtained the first box of specimens collected in the neighbourhood of that city. It contained: first the fresh root, with gum resin adhereing to the broken portions, and from which, upon section, a further exudation took place, at first opaque and milky, but drying in the course of a day or two into a light brown translucent substance. Second, the flower stem with flowers and very immature fruit. Thrid the leaves. The plant arrived in a brokenstate, and was forwarded to Mr Hanbury. Upon its receipt he wrote; 'This morning I have devoted to the Assafoetida plant, and to a comparison of it with the figures and descriptions published by Borszczow, Balfour and Hooker; but to deside on its botanical name is at present a difficult if not impossible task. I suppose it to be either the Narthex of the Edingurgh garden, or the Scorodosna of Borszczow, admitting for the moment that these are two good species; but the specimen does not furnish all the characters requisite for a strict comparison. I cannot tell whether the plant has the great sheathing petioles that form so striking a feature of the Narthex, nor is it possible to say whether the flower stem bore umbels arranged in tall regular obelisk as Narthex, or crowded towards the summit as is Scorodosma. The foliage might do for either plant though in having shorter segments it better agrees with the latter. The inflorescence which I have soaked and dissected consists of fertile female, and abortiveflowers, none stameniferous. They are remarkably glabrous not pubescent, as in Borszczow's plant but this is of small moment.' Early in 1875 I was able to sent another box of specimens, with ripe fruit and a large supply of leaves. In acknowledging it, Mr Hanbury wrote; 'The box containing the Assafoetida plant arrived on 29th Jan in excellent order, its contents have given me great pleasure. The large plant, although it had been rudely broken up and stuffed into a narrow space, proved to be fairly perfect; and by soaking in cold water I was able to restore it to shape, and then to fix it together so as to make a realy beautiful specimen, measuring 3 ft 6 inches in height. The leaves, also by soaking them and taking some pains, form very decent herbariumspecimens..........to supply several collections. But the chief point with me has been to determine the plant. From the foliage, the pink colour of the stem and the size of the fruit, I judged it might be the Ferula alliacea; but there being no specimen of this at Kew I had to transmit a portion of yours to Mr Boissier in Switzerland. His reply was definite. The plant from Yezd agrees in foliage exactly with F. alliacea, in stature, size of fruit and other respects; but the fruit has a broader margin than in M Boissiers specimen. However, M Boissier thinks it may be set down as that species, a conclusion in which I entirely agree. Ferula alliacea was previously known to me only by description. You will observe that we have named it in the Pharmacographiaas a possible source of Assafoetida. I have thought it right to make a wide distribution of the fine supply of seeds with which you have favoured me, and I have therfore sent packets to RBG Kew Edinburgh, Oxford, Paris, St Petersburg, Bern, Strasburg, Florence, Pisa, Naples, Palermo, Athens, and to botanical friends on the Mediterranean Coast, in South Africa and a few other places. As the seeds seemed fresh and good, I am in hopes that many plants may be raised.' Soon afterwards I received a sample of the unsophisticated drug, which is obtained by taking thin slices from the crown of the root together with the gum resin which has collected upon them, until the root is exhausted. In this sample the slices are extremely thin and form only o small portion of the mass. The gum resin is brown and translucent; the odour purely alliaceous. To make the commercial article the exhausted root is collected, cut up and mixed with the Assafoetida, which has been obtained in the manner described above. To do this water is required, which impairs the translucency. Hing comes to Bombay in skins, each package weighing 100lbs or more; latterly some boxes have been received. The quality varies greatly, the adulteration consisting in an undue proportion of root. In Bombay it is often still further adulterated by mixing it with gum arabic in different proportions, according to the priced article required. To do this, the package is broken up and moistened, the gum is them added, and the whole trodden together by men with naked feet upon a mat. When sufficiently mixed up, it is sewen up in skins to immitate the original packages. Hing must not be concounded with Hingra the officinal Assafoetida. Dr Dymock.

Label source:  Gums and resins Prov no 2894. Local name of gum resin Hingra. This is the asafoetida of European commerce; it arrives in Bombay from Persia and from Afghanistan.  The former is produced in the province of Laristan, and is known to Persian merchants as Anghuzeh i Lari; it generally arrives in a moist condition, but soon hardens.  The latter comes by the Indus route, and is generally hard and dry. Very fine samples are not uncommon.  The stony asafoetida described by Pereira is commonly met with in this market; it is simply a mixture of very fluid common asafoetida with white sandy soil of the country in which the plant grows; it fetches a very low price, and as far as I can make out, the mixture is made more for convenience of carriage thanfor the purpose of deception.  Besides, when the juice  is unusually fluid it runs out upon the surrounding ground and becomes mixed with the sand.  Common asafoetida is only used in India by the poorest classes.  The porduct of F alliacea is a much morepowerful drug, and is always issued instead of it from the Govt stores in Bombay.

When examining a no of bales of common A. from Kandahar I found some of them to contain particles of the more expensive drug, and a large quantity of what appeared to be gum resin in a transition stage between the transparency of Kandahar Hing and the opacity of the commercial article. 3.  Root found in bale of Kandahar Hing agreed exactly with a piece obtained from a bale of common asafoetida. Kandaharee Hing comes to Bombay in small quantities, sewn up in goat skins, forming small oblong bales with the hair outside.  When it first arrives it is moist flaky pieces and tears, and reddish yellow oil separates on pressure, the gum resin also is a dull reddish yellow colour, soft and somewhat elastic, smelling of garlic or carraway oil.  Hing is used by the wealthy people of Central India as a condiment and medicine, it is not generally known in Bombay and is only to be found in the warehouses of a few wholesale dealers. Dr Dymock.

RF Easton Ingledene, Hough Green, Widnes The sample, though resembling Angelica root, is probably L.officinale, or perhaps the root of some other Umbelliferous plant. LAB 21.1.21. Letter dated Jan 22nd 1921 - Mr Easton, acknowledge the receipt of his letter of the 14th instant and in reply to say that the root submitted for identification, through resembling Angelica root, is probably that of L.officinale. The species, however, cannot be determined with certainty from the root alone. It may be mentioned that L.officinale is known as Lovage some particulars of which are given in Potter's Cylopedia of Botanical drugs p.173 (published by Potter and Clarke Ltd London) For expert opinion it would be advisable to submit a sample to Mr Holmes, Ruthven, Sevenoaks, Kent. There is no charge for work of this nature at Kew.

These swellings seem to be formed into a rounded mass in the course of development of the rhizome. This mode of growth appears evident from the portions of the cylindrical stem which may be foundattached to some of the specimens, and which have small knobs at the nodes. The rhizome id greyish brown externally, and greyish and horny and slightly marbled with white internally, and has an aromatic taste recalling that of fenugreek of lovage seeds.

Roxburgh describes its botanical characters. It the Bombay Presidency it is found only in Guzerat where it has a reputation among the Hindus on account of the bitter properties of the fruit, and is an ingredient in some of their compound decoctions. The dried vine, with the ripe fruit attached, is bought to Bombay for sale along with other herbs from the Province of Guzerat. The stems are herbaceous, scandent, five sided, slightly hairy; tenderils 2 cleft; leaves generally five lobed, somewhat hairy, margins scallope toothed; petioles as long as the leaves, ribed. Fruit oval, the size of a nutmeg, armed with numerous long rather soft diverging bristles, obscurely divided into three cells by numerous dry fibres, and opening at the top with a perforated stopple, which falls off when the seeds are ripe; seeds about 18,ovate,compressed, black and scabrous, testa very hard, kernel white. The fibrous substance in which the seeds are enclosed is intensely bitter. Dr Dymock.

Label source:  The receipt of seeds of this plant and their distribution to Agric Depts in the W Indies for trial was noticed in the Agric News, Feb 22, 1919.  Mr J Jones Curator, Bot Gardens, Dominica, has recently forwared to the Imperial Commiss. of Agric. a fruit produced by a plant grown from the seed sent him in Feb.  He states that only a few of the seeds germinated, and the plants made but little progress on account of the dry weather up to the end of June.  When rain fell in July the plants grew rapidly, and the male and female flowers were produced on separate plants.  During the 1st week in August pollination was effected artificially, with the result that fruits are now ripening.  Mr Jones believes that this plant may possess a considerable potential value on account of the oil contained in its seeds, which is remarkable for its drying properties.  The flowers of this sp are pale yellow in colour, and are distinctly handsome, esp the male staminate ones which are larger than the pistillate flowers produced on the female plant.  (Agric New Barbados xviii Nov 1, 1919 p 347. (2nd article from same journal dated xviii Dec 13, 1919 p 393.  The plant a very handsome one, both as regards its flowers and fruit, and is well worth growing as an ornamental.  As regards its economic value, it is believed that the seeds contain an oil which is  valuable on account if its drying properties.  Mr J Jones Curator of the Bot Gdn Dominica, has recently written to say that he has dissected a fruit weighing 3 3/4lb containing 42 seeds, weighing 6oz.

Label source:  M 299-28 Sample of 'Carpaya Root' from Sierra Leone, Brownjohn and Howard Ltd Bartlett House, 9/12 Basinghall Street E.C.2 . The sample of 'Carpaya' root consists chiefly of stem and apparently that of Carica papaya. The name of Carpaya may  have been coined from the first three letters of Carica and the last four letters of Papaya. LAB 9.6.28. Opuscular source:  Letter dated June 12th June 1928 - Dear Sirs, The sample of 'Carpaya' root transmitted by your Liverpool House as part of the consignment of 63 bags from Sierra Leone referred to in your letter FGH of the 30th Ultimo has been received. I find on examination that this consists chiefly of stem, apparently that of 'Pawpaw' (C. papaya). This is a small tree commonly grown in West Africa and most tropical countries, for the sake of the fruit which may be eaten ripe as dessert or cooked when young and green as a vegetable. A milky juice (latex) exudes when incisions are made in the green fruit and this green juice contains besides othersubstances a ferment to which the name 'papain' has been given. The medicinal action of this is digestive. The commercial value of the pawpaw lies chiefly in the product described, which as imported consists of the dried milky juice; the chief sources being the Philippines, Monserrat and Ceylon. I am afraid there must be some mistake in shipping the material as submitted as to the best of my knowledge it has no commercial value. Perhaps Messrs Potter and Clarke Ltd, would give an opinion. Their address is 60-64 Artillery Lane, London, and they are large dealers in botanical drugs and preparations. Yours faithfully Director. See Caricaceae Cover for copy of reply to first letter

Label source:  History and Uses - The properties of this plant and its use by the natives as a blistering agent appear to have been first brought to the notice of the Europeans by Roxburgh. Ainslie quotes him, and remarks that the plant has a strong muriatic smell, but not disagreeable ; the leaves are extremely acrid, and are used by the natives to raise blisters in rheumatism, fevers etc. ; the fresh leaves bruised and applied to the part intended to be blistered, perform their office in half an hour and most effectually. The authors of the 'Bengal Dispensatory' state that they made a trial of the leaves in eight instances ; blisters were not produced in less than twelve hours in any, and in three individuals not for twenty four hours. The bruised leaves had been removed from all after half an hour. The pain occasioned was absolutely agonizing until the blister rose ; they caused more pain than cantnarides and are far inferior to the Plumbago rosea in celerity and certainty of action. According to Fleming, the leaves are applied to cure herpetic eruptions. The authors of the Pharmacopoeia of India merely notice the unfavourable opinion of the drug expressed in the Bengal Dispensatory. I have made some experiments with an ethereal tincture ofthe leaves which leads me to form a much more favourable opinion of them; in several instances it blistered rapidly, effectually and without causing more pain than the liquor epispasticus ; upon evaporation of the ether a dark green resinous extract is left. A spirituous tincture was also tried, but it was not nearly so efficient. I have met with no mention of A.vesicatoria in standard native works on materia medica. The plant is common in low moist ground in the neighbourhood of Bombay, and appears in November and December. Its properties are retained after the plant has been dried. Description - An herbaceous erect, much-branched plant, having something the foliage of rosemary ; stems four-sided ; leaves sessile opposite, lanceolate, attenuated, about an inch long, and 1/8 inch broad, much the smaller on the upper parts of the plant ; calyx 4-cleft to the middle, lobes acute ; accessory teeth very small ; flowers very minute, aggregated in the axils of the leaves, almost sessile ; tube of calyx at first narrow andtightened round the ovary, in fruit, cup-shaped petals wanting ; capsule longer than the calyx, 1-celled ; flowers red. The whole plant has an aromatic and rather agreeable odour which it retains when dry.

Label source:  History, uses etc. Henna is much esteemed by the Mahometans. There is a tradition that their prophet spoke of it as Syyadu-riaheen (the best of herbs). In Arabic it is called Hinna. Arabic and Persian works give Arkan and Fakuliyun as the Greek name; they describe it as a valuable external application in headache, combined with oil so as to form a paste, to which resin is sometimes added. It is applied to the soles of the feet in small pox and is supposed to prevent the eyes being affectedby the disease. It also has the reputation of promoting the healthy growth of the hair and nails. An ointment made from the leaves is spoken of as having valuable healing properties. The bark is given in jaundice and enlargement of the spleen; also incalculous affections, and as an alterative in leprosy and obstinate skin diseases; in decoction it is applied to burns scalds etc. The seeds, with honey and tragacanth, are described as sephalic. An infusion of the flowers is said to cure headache, and to beagood application to bruises. An ointment is also used for the latter purpose, and a perfumed oil is prepared from them, which is called in Arabic Duhn-ul-fagiya, and is used as a cosmetic. Ainslie notices the use of an extract prepared from theflowers andleaves by the Tamil physicians of Southern India as a remedy in Lepra (Leprosy?) 1/2 teaspoon twice a day being the dose. He also says that the leaves are applied externally in cutaneous affections. In the Pharmacopoeia of India attention is drawn to there use in an obscure affection called 'burning of the feet', often met with in India, and the editor mentions having himself witnessed when in Burmah a great amount of temporary relief from the remedy when numerous other means had previously failed. The fresh leaves beaten up into a paste with vinegar were applied as a poultice to the soles of the feet in most cases, but some patients obtained greater relief from using strong frictions with the bruised leaves over the part. The use of Henna for dyeing thehands and feet appears to be common among Nahonetans in Asia and Africa, and was probably practised by the ancient Egyptians and Jews. The Hindus in west India hardly ever use it. Dr Birdwood has the following remarks upon its history in more western countries; - 'Solomon is supposed by Sprengel to refer to the Henna plant in his Epithalamium (1.14); my beloved is unto me as a cluster of samphire (or cypress or camphire) in the vinyards of Engedi'. It is undoubtedly the Ku- pos (Greek) of Dioscorides (1.124) and 'Cyprus in Egypt' of Pliny. It is mentioned by Avicenna also under the name of Henna. Description- leaves opposite, smooth, short petioled, oblong, or broad lanceolate, pointed at both ends, an inch or more long, and less than 1/2inch broad. Theflowers are in terminal globular cross armed panicles, small, greenish yellow, and very fragrant. The fruit is round, size of a peppercorn, four grooved, with the apex depressed, four celled. The seeds are angular. The decoction of the leaves is of a deep orange colour which is destroyed by acid, and deepened by alkalis and vegetable astringents; it stains the skin of an orange red colour, which does not disappear until the epidermis has been renewed.

As met with in commerce the calices generally contain the nearly  mature capsule, which is two-celled and two-valued, and completely enclosed. the seeds are light brown, very minute, oblong and very numerous. The calyx is twelve toothed. In ordinary samples of dhaitee some of the flowers are in small racemes, and a good many lanceolate leaves, with a whitish under surface studded with black dots, are mixed with them. The enlarged calices are very astringent and contain much tannin. They are used medicinally by the natives; commercially they are of considerable importance being used in dyeing and tanning.

It is considered superior to  Tauari  for cigars, and the inner white surface bears writing on exceedingly well. A French gentleman here is about to export a quantity of it to France. Kew Journal of Botany p.175. Pao d' Arco is a name applied to Tecoma speciosa DC. & Bignonia lencocylon L. in Brazil.  Source: Spruce, R. (1855) DomesticUses.  Plantae Amazonicae. Domestic Uses. (pp31-61) and miscellaneous notes, p36: Use of thin layers of bark under name Tauarí seems to have sprung up on the Amazon.  As Indian names refer chiefly to properties; the same tree may have 2 or more names.  Thusevery Pao d'Arco is also a Tauarí, but some Tauarí are also Carlanka- Sapucayu
