This root is in rather large, ligneouspieces, the wood of which is of a yellowish-white colour, compact, veined, inodorous,and very bitter. The bark consists of aninner stratum, which is reddish, bitter, andstyptic, and of an outer one which is grain-
ed, pulverulent, and of a pale yellow colour ;the latter is probably derived from somecryptogamic growth.
This bark comes from Africa, but we areignorant of the plant which furnishes it. Isit the Moras Indica ? By a singular error,Ferr. assigns it to the Lopezia racemosa,Cav., of Mexico.
It is excitant and tonic, and is prescribedin chronic diarrhoea.
Dose, from six to twenty grains of thepowder, three or four times a day.
