767 Kowla.--A kind of orange, less strong, and of weaker properties
than the Sangtirra; but in other respects the same; from its acid it
removes stagnation of bile, and is useful in cough and asthma.
768 Goond.--"Jasminum grandiflorum?" The wild Raibile; the flower cool
and light; used in disorders of bile and mucus, and in head-aches;
an antidote to poisons, and communicates its perfume to any article
from which oil is to be extracted, and gives the oil the quality
of strengthening the brain, and of being useful in affections from
cold. In my opinion, the flower is hot, as is also oil impregnated
with its odour. If it is mixed or rubbed with oil, and used as an
unguent in itch, it is equally effectual as the Chumbeley.
769 Gunyar.--A flower of India, possessing tonic properties; it
strengthens the stomach; used in the cure of Juzam, boils, eruptions,
disorders of the blood, swellings, and in cleansing ulcers.
770 Kunkole.--A seed resembling Peepul, only a little larger;
it creates appetite; is hot; useful in affections of the heart,
affections of wind and mucus.
771 Koontukphill.--A name for Lukudj, or Burhael; it is also called
Kuntukanta, from its being very prickly.
772 Kundurdolie.--The name of a plant, cool, light and astringent;
useful in heat, feverishness, thirst, disorders of mucus, blood and
bile, Juzam, and fever. It also softens iron.
773 Koondoorie.--A fruit like the Pulwull, of an oval shape. It is
acid, grows as a creeper, and used as a culinary vegetable; useful in
bilious disorders, foulness of blood, and general heat. Is emetic,
and reduces corpulency. Induces costiveness, flatulence, and wind;
also aphrodisiac. It is bitter, pungent; removes phlegm, and is an
antidote to poisons. In my opinion, it is cool and moist, aperient;
weakens the stomach, promotes absorption by increasing the tone of
the absorbents, and expedites digestion.
774 Kungni.--P. Kawurs, Sheerazee Kaal. Cool and bitter, dry and
astringent, yet diuretic; but if boiled in milk, its drying quality
will be corrected. It is very generally used as food. It increases
the viscidity of mucus, and promotes a disposition to gravel. Its
corrector is sugar. It is hurtful to the lungs; but here its corrector
is Mustaghi. In its general properties, it comes near the Cheena;
externally applied hot, it removes rheumatic pains. "Panicum Italicum."
775 Gundheel.--A. Azkhir, and some kinds called Mirchiakund. This
is a common plant, about a yard high; its flowers sweet-scented:
the properties of all are, I fancy, the same. It is astringent to
the taste, and bitter during digestion; hot, useful in affections of
the throat and heart, disorders of bile, blood, mucus, difficulty of
breathing, cough, and fever.
