| Notes: | Label source: Used as a drug (stomachic) in Persia. Achundow refers this drug to Muscus arboreus and gives the Persian name as Dowalak and Karbasu and the Arabic name as Aschna. The Persian name Dowalah is applied to more than one kind of lichen since Dy, mock gives Parmelia kamtschadalis as the source of Dowalah of the Indian Bazaars (Ph. Ind. iii. 627). Some of the Parmelias are used as a dye, but the above drug from Hamadan gives no colouration with caustic potash. It is a whitish or grey coloured liche, n in broken pieces. It has emollient and astringent properties, and is used in a bath or as a poultice. Locally it is given for stomach troubles. (C.) (K.B 1931. p. 336). | ||||
