| Notes: | Label source: The bark as generally met with is about as thick as cinnamon nearly smooth, externally reddish brown, internally olive green; it occurs in small strips or quills. Taste sweetish, and moderately astringent. Sections examined under the micros, cope show a deposit of crystals arranged like rows of beads in the course of the vessels, otherwise there is nothing remarkable. Turwar bark is astringent but not nearly so powerful as other common Indian barks. The small flat heart shaped seeds are admin, istered by the native doctors as a cooling medicine; their use as an application to the eyes is noticed in the Pharm. of India. | ||||
