Notes: 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. Th, is drug is much used in native practice, and is well worthy of attention.
