| Notes: | Label source: The fruit is a common bazar drug and is imported from Persia. It consists of 10 to 12 glabrous wrinkled carpels, each containing one renifom seed. Some of it is mature, but at least half of it is in various stages of immaturity. A portio, n of the thin papery calyx is attached to the fruit. In a good fresh sample a few deep blue flowers may be seen, as well as a number of peduncles of unequal length, and occasionally a petiole surmounted by the 5 nerved base of the leaf. Although I have, not raised the plant from seed I think there can be little doubt that this drug is derived from M sylvestris. Khambazee is mucilaginous. | ||||
