Notes: | Label source: This drug consists of leaflets mostly detached from their rachis which bear scars of having borne 4 or 5 opposite pairs of leaflets. The leaflets are entire, slightly unequal at the base, about the size and shape of Tinnervelly Senna, but m, ore rigid and with many slender lateral veins placed at a very acute angle to the midrib. They have no odour but taste somewhat like Senna, but have an acrid aftertaste. The young twigs are woody, with a pale brown bark having darker longitudinal stripes, ( see Famamo root, infra ). |
