ance of a rosette or star (Fig. 107, A). The development of 

 these aggregates may be readily observed in the 'stem of Datura 

 Stramonium. Crystals of this class are more widely distributed 

 than any of the others, and are characteristic of a number of drugs. 

 Clustered crystals in the form of rosette aggregates occur in 

 numerous drugs, as follows: Althaea, anisum, buchu, calendula, 

 cannabis indica, carum, caryophyllus, castanea, chimaphila, conium, 

 coriandrum, cusso, eriodictyon, euonymus, fceniculum, frangula,
