| Notes: | Label source: The fruit consists of a pair of mericarps about 1/4 of an inch long, which together form an elongated oblong body crowned by the stylopodium and calycinal teeth; each mericarp has five very prominent convoluted ridges. The margins of the se, ed are curved inwards, so that a transverse section shows a horseshoe-shaped object, surrounded by about vitae, full of yellowish brown essential oil. The taste is at first somewhat like anise, but afterwards bitter. It is used by the Hakeens as a stimula, nt and calmative; it is also said to promote the expulsion of the foetus. Faturasaliyun is an Arabic corruption of Petrosilinum; it is still further corrupted by the Bombay druggists into Phuttersalum. Dymock Pharm Journ. | ||||
