| Notes: | Label source: The seeds of this plant are small black and angular, having an diameter of about ? of an inch. Several seeds may often be seen adhering together, showing how closely they were packed in the trilocular capsule. In all the samples of this d, rug which I have seen there was a small proportion of the larger seeds of C olitorius. These may easily be distinguished by their shape, which resembles that of a life buoy, their length is 1/10 inch. Both seeds are bitter and are given in fever and bow, el complaints, in doses of half a tola (about 80 grains). The plant grows freely in the rainly season, and yields a good fibre. | ||||
