This fine farinaceous powder (mucilage) is prepared from 
the roots of a gynandrous plant, and is usua brought 
into commerce from Turkey. Hence it is supposed to 
be made from the Orchis Morio. But from Mr. Meath’s 
account, in the 59th vol. of Philosophical Transactions, it 
may be formed from several other species of Orchis. Cul- 
Jen says he has seen it prepared in Britain, from the 
Orchis bi-folio, as pure and perfect as that which comes 
from Turkey. It is an insipid substance, of which a small 
quantity, by proper management, converts a large portion 
of water into mucilage.
