Opuscular source:  Letter 52, 1912, vii p103.  1/1912 New Products.  From J Lewkowitsch, 71 Priory Rd, London, NW. Feb 19, 1912. Dear Sir, I thank you for the info you have given on the Xanthophyllum.  I think these are X lanceolatum Boerl.  A publication has appeared in De Indische Mercuur, May 9, 1911, and the statement was added by K Gorter that large quantitites are being imported, which are coming into the market under the name of Boca Sioer.  I would think, judging from commercial consideration, that these seeds are X lanceolatum.  The fat from the seeds is like the fat given by Gorter.

Opuscular source:  Letter from Lewis & Peat, London EC. 8.1.98. The supplies that we have had for some years past have come from Peru and consist of coarse thick root.  That coming from Para is known here as Savanilla root and is the smooth root.  The supplies for some time past have been very small and the Para has certainly been in less evidence than the Peruvian.  We send you a sample of the latter, but cannot get one of the Savanilla, and regret that we cannot give you the botanical names.

occurrenceRemarks:
Opuscular source:  Sample of the netting prepared by the natives of Zomba.  It is prepared from an indigenous fibre plant which is very common in dry stony soil.  The stems are very much branched, and the ultimate branches short, hence it is imposs to obtain, long ribbons of the fibre.  As the fibre is embedded in a gummy substance that is almost insoluble, ordinary retting is useless in its preparation.  The usual native method is to scrape off a small quantity of fibre, which he then chews thoroughly until all the gum is removed, a most tedious and slow method.  The fibre is generally extremely strong, and it is used for all the native fishing nets in districts where it occurs.  Extract of letter Mr E W Davy, Forestry and Bot  Dept, Zomba, BC Africa, To Director, Rec'd Sept 23rd 1907.

'Prof Greenish was a little sceptical whether the bark was rightly referred to P. floribundum until he had a chance of comparing authentic specimens. '  Extracts from Pharm Journ. A further and more critical microscopical examination of the bark proved beyond doubt that it was P. floribundum; compared with a specimen of Mr Gambles 4836 in the the Museum. A small piece of this specimen was also sent to Prof Greenish for comparison who later in the course of conversation at the Museum here quite agreed in the above determination . JHH April 20 1904

(Major D Prain) 'A question having arisen as to the source of the seeds known as 'Chaulmoogra' largely used in native medicine and now attracting considerable attention in Europe an endeavour was made to settle the point. The seeds in question have usually been attributed to the species known as Gynocardia odorata. Having satisfied himself that this opinion is erroneous, the Superintendent invoked the assistance of Dr Watt, Reporter on Economic Products, to clear up the point. Thanks to Dr Watt`s exertions the matter has now been definitely settled. The seeds known as Chaulmoogra are not those of thetree known by that name but of the species known as Taraktogenos kurzu.'

Label source:  This oil has long been held in great repute amongst the Fakirs of India as a cure for obstinate skin diseases and leprosy and has more recently been found of great value in consumptive cases. See pamphlet by RC Lepage Esq. late of Calcutta. Directions for use - Dose - adults, 6 to 15 minims. Children (7 to 15 years of age) : 3 to 6 minims. Infants, 2 to 3 minims. To be taken thrice daily, a short time after  meals. It is seldom necessary to give more than 6 or 8 minims for a dose, but in obstinate skin diseases, leprosy and cancer, it is sometimes requisite gradually to increase the dose to 15 minims. To children it may conveniently be given on sugar. Where the skin is affected, the oil should be applied externally. In consumption the oil is best administered in Cod Liver Oil, but where this is objected to, milk or cream may be substituted; it has been found of the greatest value in the early stages of this complaint. All alcoholic beverages should be strictly avoided, also all spiced, seasoned or salted meat, and acid substances.  It is important that the Chaulmoogra Oil be persevered with and the instructions followed, when cures may be expected in from 1 to 3 months, according to the nature and strength of the disease. In some instancesit acts with great rapidity. When nausea or diarrhoea ensues, the dose should be modified or discontinued for a day or two and a dose of Castor oil administered. The pure oil is in a congealed state at ordinary temperatures, but readily becomes liquid when warmed. This remedy has proved highly effectual in all skin diseases, in those arising from impurity of the blood and in consumption, cancer and rheumatism etc. For further information see 'Papers on the Plant Gynocardia odorata by RC Lepage Esq late of Calcutta' 1s post free from Corbyn, Stacey & Co.

Directions for use - Cleanse the affected or diseased part with PK Sen`s Chaulmoogra soap and hot water, then (when dried) apply the ointment rubbing properly 3 or 4 times a day with the finger; where rubbing is not possible put the ointment on a clean lint, linen or absorbent cotton and place it on the sore, but rubbing is more effective. It is sufficient to clean the affected part with Chaulmoogra soap and hot water once a day before using the ointment. It is advisable to continue the use of this ointment for sometime even after recovery for the sake of being free from further attacks and take baths using Chaulmoogra soap as a preventive of skin diseases.

occurrenceRemarks:
Label source:  Abundant in the Concans some distance to the south of Bombay, also in Goa. The oil is extracted for burning and is also in repute as a remedy for skin diseases. It is at present on trial here as a substitute for chaulmogra; if found to be efficient it can be delivered in Bombay for less than half the price of the latter oil. It appears that the greenish tinge which the oil sometimes has is caused by the adherence of some of the pulp of the fruit to the testa of the seed; the pure oil fromthe decorticated seed is of a pale yellow. The external appearance of the fruit varies considerably; upon the same tree perfectly smooth and very rough fruit may be seen. Gynocardia and Hydnocarpus are genera of the order Bixacea. Their fruits are large, spherical and contain numerous seeds embedded in a pulp. The seeds are either smooth or slightly furrowed longitudinally; thier integument is thin and leathery or almost woody in texture. The embyro is orthotropic and surrounded by a dark brown fleshy oilyendosperm. The cotyledons are acute-ovate in shape, large, leafy and three-nerved; the radicle is prominent.

occurrenceRemarks:
Label source:  This plant is widely distributed, being found in Asia, Europe, Africa and Australia.  The common Indian and Oriental form (Var 3 of Hookers Indian Flora), grows in the Bombay Presidency.  Caper bark does not appear to have been known as amedicine  to the Hindus until introduced by the Mahometans, but another sp of Capparis (C aphylla) very common in Indian and having somewhat similar properties, has a Sanskrit name (Karira) and its berries are used by the natives.  C is mentioned by both Greek and Latin writers, and its medical properties were probably made known to the Arabs through them.  The author of the Makhzanul-Adwiya gives a good description of the plant and says that the root bark is the most active part.

According to Dr Aitchison it is a common shrub from Quetta to Meshad in the open country forming great bushes fully five feet high. In Persia, Dr Cowan observed it as a low straggling bush often with stems trailing along the ground. C.aphylla Roth. is very abundant in Baluchistan where it is called by the same vernacular name (I.H.B.). The flower buds all through Persia are collected for household use to be made into pickles. The light coloured root and the thick root bark in half quills are used in medicine. These drugs have been introduced into India by Mohammedans and are exported via the Persian Gulf. The root and root bark are pungent and bitter and are given for intermittent fever and rheumatism.

There can be little doubt that the dried plant was first introduced into India by the Mahometans. It is kept in all druggist shops and is prescribed in difficult labour, being placed in water until it expands; the water is administered to the patient.The whole plant is used. It has a short woody stem, branched in a corymbose manner at the top; leaves obovate, the lower ones entire, the upper remotely toothed (seldom present in the dried specimens). The fruit forms spikes along the branches; it consists of a short pouch with a strong curved beak, and two ear like projections on each side, which is divided into 4 cells, each cell containing a yellow concaveo-convex seed. The whole whole plant is tomatose and has hardly any taste. As seen in the shops it presents the appearance of a little ball of wicker work. It is imported from Syria by way of the Persian Gulf.

Opuscular source:  Two letter enclosed as follows  1. From Mrs Davidson - Dear Sir, I am much obliged for your note and the particulars you kindly mention as to the  use made of the fibre of horseradish leaves.  It is poss that it might be more useful in the manufacture of twine than of paper making - but the fact of a patent having been taken out in 1884 for its use for that purpose is very interesting.  Again thanking  you very much for the kind trouble you have taken.  Believe me, Yours very truly Kate L Davidson. - WJ Thistleton Dyer. 2.  Letter from Mrs Davidson, Nov 19th, 1884 - Mrs D presents her compliments to Sir Joseph Hooker and begs to enclose a small piece of twine made by the gardener of the fibres of common horseradish.  He ventures to ask whether the plant has ever been used in the manufacture of cordage mats, and if it is likely to be of sufficient economic value to be grown for such purposes - because if so the crop is of such easy culture that it might be worth while to call attentionto the fact. Mrs Davidson having always met with such exceeding courtesy at Kew and having also had the pleasure of sending plants - Heterotoma lobelioides and Carpenteria californica etc in time past to the gardens which have been accepted, ventures to trespass of Sir JD Hookers valuable time for his opinion on a point which seems to be some interest.  The fibre received no sort of preparation being simply run through the fingers to remove the decaying portion of the stem and twisted on the spot.

Caper bark does not appear to have been known as a medicine to the Hindus until introduced by the Mahometans butanother sp of capparis (C. aphylla) very common in India and having somewhat similar properties - berries are used by the natives.  Capparis is mentioned by both Greek and Latin writers, and its medical properties were probably made knwon to the Arabs through them.  The author of the Makhzanul Adwiya gives a good description of the plant and says that the root bark is the most active part.  He considers its action to be detergent and astringent, and recommends it in palsy and dropsy and gouty and rheumatic afflictions.  The juice of the fresh plant is directed to be dropped into the ear to kill worms, just  as cleome juice is used in India.

Source: Spruce, R. (1855) Domestic Uses.  Plantae Amazonicae. Domestic Uses. (pp31-61) and miscellaneous notes, p13.: From this is prepared an intoxicating drink known to all the natives on the Uaupes by name of Caapi.  The lower part of the stem which is the thickness of the thumb and swollen at the joints is part used.  This is beaten in a mortar with the addition of water and a small quantity of the slender root of an apresree (caapi-pinima).  The ingredients are then passed through a sieve.  Such a quantity of water is added to render it drinkable.  In this state its colour is a brush- gun and its taste bitter and disagreeable.  During their Dabocuris, the young men who figure in the dances drink of the caapi 5 or 6 times during the night from a small enya, the size of a very small cup, twice filled.  In 2 minutes after drinking, or less, its effect begins to be apparent.  The Indian turns deadly pale, trembles in every limb and horror is in his aspect; suddenly contrary symptoms succeed- he bursts into a perspiration and seems possessed with reckless fury- seizes whatever arms are at hand his murucú, bow and arrows or cutlass and makes to the doorway where he inflicts deadly blows on the ground or doorposts calling out' thus would I do to my enemy (naming him by name) where he within my reach'.  Those whites who have partaken of the caapi all agree in the account of their sensations under its effects- alterations of cold and heat, of fear and boldness.  The light is disturbed and visions appear rapidly before their eyes in which everything joyous and magnificent they have  heard or said of dreams united.  I drank 1 cup of caapi but found taste so unpleasant that I did not venture on a second.  Immediately after a woman brought me a larger cup full of cúsasi of which I was obliged to drink a copious draught.

T.cordifolia has a very peculiar habit; if a portion of the stem be severed and hung upon a bush it will remain a live during the dry season and as soon as the rains commence send forth shoots and long aerial roots about the size  of a piece of whip cord; these eventually reach the ground and develop into stems. The local name is Goolwail. The drug is described in the Pharmacographia and is much used in this country. C.villosus is seldon used the leaves are sometimes employed to make an emollient fomentation; the local name is Lamtanee. The structure of the root and stem ofall three plants is of a similar character.

Opuscular source:  Extract of letter from 30th Jan 1892, Annatto Works, 31 Bevenden St, Hoxton. We have tested samples Annatto sent to us from Lagos, we do not find much difference between no 1 and no 2 (hot and cold water processes), which are both dried too hard but we think no 2 the best sample.  No 3 as the natives produce it is too wet and soft.  The market value very greatly fluctuates and therefore we cannot give you any reliable value.  A large quantity of annatto is imported from Ceylon and we are of opinion their method of preparing annatto for the market is as good as any - the samples from Lagos are very similar to the Ceylon annatto.  Signed Fullwood and Bland. Label source:  Prepared seeds - by the cold water process.

For fine work and small articles silk is used. 75. Yoshino A very thin kind of paper used for filtering the lacquer before using it. Label source:  Japanese lacquer-ware is renowned throughout the world. The lacquer-ware industry was established in Japan in the 6th century A.D. and although lacquer-ware was made in China as early as 1100 B.C., it never attained the eminence of that of Japan. The superb artistry and techniques of Japanese craftsmen and the intrinsic charm of their products assured Japanese lacquer-ware of a permanent place in the history of applied art. The lacquer-ware in this display, together with the items in cases 95 & 101 were collected, under the instructions of Her Majesty`s Charge d`Affaires at Tokyo, by John J. Quin, H.M. Acting Consul at Hakodate in 1882 for presentation to this museum.

occurrenceRemarks:
Note source:  Guilandina bonducella. 7 seeds collected from plant early in 1908. When first weighed together during June 1908 they showed a constant weight of 205.44 grains and behaved like typical impermeable seeds; but after this their total weight increased gradually to 207 grains on Oct 27th 1908. It was then evident that one or more of the seeds were losing their impermeablity and gaining weight, so with the intention of finding the delinquent the seeds were now and afterwards weighed separately. Upto July 1912 it was evident that B was the culprit showing a range of .4 grains or 1.3 percent, the slight range of the others .05 to .12 being evidently instrumental, as it amounted to .1 to .4 per cent (the instrumental error quite covering .1grain which is .3 per cent). However a much longer time is needed to be on safe ground. The separate results are given in the list. The weighing of 1922 brings out the behaviour of B. B has its concentric cracks more evident and also more numerous.See list for details.

occurrenceRemarks:
Label source:  Note - from PE Owen ASO Wing A Herbarium, To Museum, I hope you are interested in this snuff produced from the roots of Z. africana. The letter enclosed, to Gerald Pope, gives a little infomation on the snuff. Please note that in the letter 'Nyanga-lady' is probably a misspelling of Nganga-lady the local name for a herbalist. Letter to G Pope dated 10 Jan 1990 from P Klockner - Dear Mr Pope, I hope I have to bother you for only one more time with specimen from me. I fail to classify the plants of which the dried samples were sent with this mail. The 'Sneeze root tree' is quite a rare specimen from which a Nyanga-lady produces a snuff very irritating to the nose with a slight horseradish flavour. It is gained from scrapings from dried root.I did not collect any flowers or fresh roots of the tree. The branches resemble Zahna (sic) africana but in other ways it does not fit the description. It grows into a large Brachystegia like tree with offspring developing nearby.

Label source:  Letter from Tropical Development and Research Institute, CL Green, Dear Mr Lucus, I apologise for the hand written note but you will appreciate from the following that the matter is of some urgency. I enclose a sample of seeds represent a 300 tonne consignment to Europe from Thailand. The material was sold as white pepper (now fetching 3000 pounds a ton). It is not any spice with which I am familar and the closest any of my colleagues would venture was that it is some form of pulse. Several container loads are in UK docks and Customs are pressing for insect fumigation. The importers are relucant to pay for the fumigation until they determine whether or not the material has any value. Investigation by Kew would therefore be greatly appreciated by the trade. If it is possible to reach a rapid conclusion please ring the following Mr Harry Winstanely CC Spice Ltd and Ms Sarah Bodington British Pepper Spice. Seeds identified as Ceiba pentandra

occurrenceRemarks:
Label source:  Fl.Br.Ind ii 175 ; Ph.Ind i 430 The plant grows in India and is cosmopolitan in the tropics; the seeds are exported from India to Persia and other countries in the West. The well known scarlet seeds with a black spot at one end are made into necklaces and rosaries. They were formerly used as a standard weight by goldsmiths, the average weight of the seeds being 1.7 grains. The leaves and root contain a sugar (D Hooper Pharm Journ 1894, 937) In medicine the seeds are said to have Halarant properties, and in Persia they are classed among the poisons. In India toxicological enquires have shown the seeds are ground into a paste, the paste is made into suis or needles, and these are inserted hypodermically in the bodies of cattle to bring abouttheir death. Doctors Warden and Waddell in  1884 separated a protein body called Abrin which is the active pricipal. Spica in 1888 called it a glucoside. Sidney Martin in 1889 found it to be a gobulin or albumose. In 1891 Cobert described it asa toxalbumin. From Bull of Misc Info. No 6 1931 RBG Kew - Some Persian Drugs pp 301-2

I have compared it with a rhizome labelled Polygonum amplexicaule in the Museum, and it shows a good deal of resemblance to that in structure, but is a little different. If there is no likely species of Polygonum in Persia, can there be a Rumex with a rhizome? The plant probably grows in very wet soil or is aquatic. L.A.B. 27.2.30.
