| Notes: | Label source: Under this name a fruit is sold in the shops which resembles English Hemlock fruit, with the exception that it is a little larger and of a darker grey colour; sections of both compared under the microscope show a similar structure, vis, tha, t described in the Pharmacographia. Keerdamana when crushed in a mortar and treated with caustic potash has the same offensive smell as the English drug. I suppose the slight difference in colour, and larger size, to be due to climatic influences, our art, icle being probably grown in Persia or Northern India. The occurrence in India of plenty of this seed at a cheap rate enables us to prepare an efficient preparation of Hemlock ( the extr. conii fructus fluid, U.S.P.) without recourse to Europe.
