| Notes: | Label source: Kee-kock (45) Citrus fusca Lour. Syn. Chi-koh, Porter Smith, Chin. Mat. Med. p.66; Cay Baong, Chi xag, Chi ken, Lour. Fl. Cochinchinensis, p. 467. This drug consists of what appears to be fruits gathered when unripe, and then cut in half an, d dried. The rind is thick and externally of a dark or brownish black colour, internally whitish; the dried pulp is blackish. The taste is bitter and the odour very faintly that of orange. The drug is identical with that presented to the Museum of the Pha, rmaceutical Society by Dr Porter Smith under the name of Citrus fusca. The Japanese character is not, however absolutely ?? with the Chinese one given by Dr Porter Smith. The Japanese character translated 'Kee' and the Chinese 'Chi' , is identical, but th, e one translated 'Kock' is not identical in appearance, although Mr Takemura assures me it is identical in meaning with the Chinese character for 'Koh'. Loureiro, however, gives as a synonym 'Chi xac,' which more nearly approaches the Japanese name in sou, nd. Thunberg (Fl. Jap..,p.294) gives the very similar name 'Kikikf' as a synonym of Citrus trifoliata, L. Citrus fusca is supposed by the Chinese to possess cooling, deobstruent and stomachic properties. | ||||
