| Notes: | Label source: The root is large, fleshy, branched, and spreading, often one inch or more in diameter, white and with an acrid bitter taste; the root bark is soft and thick and easily separated. Under the microscope it is seen to consist of thin walled, cellular tissue containing little granular matter and here and there a few small starch cells. The central portion of the root is composed of very large dotted vessels, easily visible with the naked eye. Seeds are mottled green and black. The seeds ex, hausted with spirit yield a light brown resin with an odour exactly like Jalap. The medicinal uses of both root and seeds are noticed in the Indian Pharmacopoeia and is supplemented by Mr Moodeen Sheriff. I would suggest a trial of the resin. | ||||
