| Notes: | Label source: So mokou Zoussetz, Vol v fig 4 ; Fr et Sav vol i p.186 To-kee root bears a strong external resemblance to Angelica root, both in size and shape but the rootlets are less furrowed. It consists of a tap root about 1 inch diameter near the top, , tapering down to 1/4 inch, and surrounded by a number of stout rootlets from 1/4 to 1/3 of an inch thick. The side roots are marked with numerous transverse slightly warty scars; internal the roots present a dark brown colour, with a darker ring aroundm, editullium and a soft waxy section with very few and small vesicles. The taste is sweet and muciliganous and very faintly pungent. The odour has a faint resemblance to fenugreek. | ||||
