| Notes: | Label source: The seeds of this plant are small, black and angular having a diameter of about 1/16 of an inch. Several seeds may often be seen adhering together showing how closely they were packed in the trilocular capsule. In all the samples of this dr, ug which I have seen there was a small proportion of the larger seeds of C.olitorius. These may easily be distinguished by their shape, which resembles that of a life-buoy. Their length is 1/16 of an inch. Both seeds are bitter. They are given in fever an, d bowel complaints, in doses of half a tola (about 80 grains). The plant grows freely in the rainy season and yields a good fibre. Pharm Journ. | ||||
