DRUGS. 



a gum, however, which is exactly like iheMojrus received from Umritseer. 

 Svffaid mooslie can never be obtained from this tree, and I have ascer- 

 tained that it is not derived from any species of Curculigo although Cur- 

 culigo brevifolia goes by the name of Mooslie, and its roots are used in 

 medicine in this Presidency. The root stalk of C. brevifolia is, however, 

 exactly like the Kala mooslie of Bombay druggists which is attributed to 

 C. niyra ? Mooslie sheah is obtained, according to Royle, from Murdania 

 scapi/lora, and Ainslie's description of it applies to Suffaid mooslie ; and 

 notwithstanding that he says it comes from C. orchioides y may not 

 Murdania scapiflora be the real plant, or at least some species of Trades- 

 cantia ? See " Woods/ *
