| Notes: | Label source: History Uses etc - This drug is described in Mahometan works as the the Akraniki or Alsharniki in the Greeks. Other arabic names given are Shankai-ul-baida, or Shaukat-ul-arabiya and Kathir-ul-rakab. The Latin neme is said to be Atrakias. S, ome say it is the same as the Badaward of the Persians. Muhammad Husian very truely denies this, but admits that it is somewhat like it; he says the Persian names are charchah and kangr-khar, and describes two varieties: one with a white flower and more s, lender stems than the other, which has purple flowers and is the kind generally used. The latter he says has triangular stems the size of a mans finger or less, and thich small triangular downy leaves, terminating in thorns; the seeds are small, triangula, r and of greyish colour. The whole drug is of a yellowish white colour and sweetish taste. The root and fruit are generally used, but the root is to be preferred. Shukai is more drying and astringent than Badaward; it is attenuant and deobstrutent etc (Ma, khzan-ul-adwiya article 'Shukai') | ||||
