Corolla aa long as or a little longer than the Calyx, lobes obovate- 
oblong, reflexed. Stamens exserted. Drupe — yellow when ripe 
reddish brown when dry, clustered, £ in., often touching each 
other. 
Uses : — The oil obtained from the seeds by expression, is used 
as a stimulating application in painful rheumatic affections and 
after child-birth. The root-bark is used as a vesioant, 
(Dymock.) 
The leaves Rasuna resemble the lanceolate senna, and are 
purgative. (Honnigberger.) 
The fruit is sweet in taste, and is supposed by the natives of 
the Punjab to have aphrodisiac properties. The fruits eaten 
singly are said -to cause tingling and small ulcers of the mouth, 
hence people prefer to eat them by handfuls, seeds and all, and 
the latter are apt to accumulate in masses in the sigmoid flexure 
of the intestines and lead to disagreeable results. (Stewart.) 
The leaves are made into a decoction and given as a purga- 
tive to horses. (Watt.) 
The seeds yield 44-8 per cent, of a hard, bright, yellow fat, having a faint 
slightly unpleasant odour and the following characters: sp. gr. at 99° -150°c., 
0"867 ; acid value, 9" 3. saponif value 264 2; iodine value, 6'9; solid if pt. of 
fatty acids (titer test), 804°o. (approx) ; m. pt. 88°o. The fat could be used in 
the manufacture of candles, and if freed from its unpleasant odour and taste 
might be of use in the preparation of vegetable butter and “chocolate fats."

The following chemical and physical constants were obtained with the 
commercial fat : Speoific gravity at 60°, 0-9084 : melting point, 41° ; acid value, 
11 '28; saponification value, 242-86 ; iodino value, 7 - 48; Reichert-Meiss! value, 
1-28. Fatty acids: per cent. 94-12; melting point, 40°; iodine value, 8’8 ; 
neutralisation value, 244-42. 
The oil of S. perslca has similar properties. The oil-cake contains 
nitrogen 4 8, potash 2-8, and phosphoric anhydride 1-06 per cent. (Hooper).
