• Cinchonaceae of the same country, as in Richardsonia rosea and scabra, 
Spermacoce ferruginea and Poaya, &c. A peculiar alkaline principle, called 
Emetia, is found in Ipecacuanha, which contains 16 per cent, of it. Turner, 
653. The Raiz Preta, which is celebrated for its power in curing dropsy, and 
in destroying the dangerous consequences of bites of serpents, is said to be 
related to Ipecacuanha. P. J. 1. 218. Several species of Psychotria, as 
emetica and herbacea, are substitutes for Ipecacuanha. The spurious barks 
called Quinquina Piton are capable of exciting vomiting. The powdered fruit 
of Randia dumetorum is a poweiful emetic. An infusion of the bark of the 
root is administered to nauseate in bowel complaints. AinsUe, 2. 186. 
According to Roxburgh, the root bruised and thrown into ponds vrhere there 
are fish intoxicates them as Cocculus indicus. Ihid. Psychotria noxa and 
Palicourea Maregraavii, both called Erva de rata, are accounted poisonous in 
Brazil; but nothing veiy certain seems to be known of their properties. Ed. 
P. J. 14. 267. The leaves of Oldenlandia umbellata are considered by the 
native doctors of India as expectorant. AinsUe, 2. 101. Coffee is the roasted 
seeds of a plant of this order, Cofiea arabica, and is supposed to owe its cha- 
racters to a peculiar chemical principle called Caffein. Turner, 699. The 
part roasted is the albumen, which is of a hard homy consistence ; and it 
is probable that the seed of aU Cinchonacese or Stellatae whose albumen is of 
the same texture would serve as a substitute. This would not be the case 
with those with fleshy albumen. The fruit of some species of Gardenia, 
Genipa, and of Vangueria, the Voa Vanga of Madagascar, are succulent and 
eatable. Various species of Morinda, Hydrophylax maritima, &c. afl*ord a 
colouring matter analogous to the dye of Madder.
