1 Fcenugr. semina (I.) Pain in the arm.
2 *Fragraria vesca — vegetates in the Himalaya.
3 Fritillaria cirrhosa — is well known in Cashmere, where
4 it grows ; but it is not officinal.
5 Fritill. cirrh. herba (I.) Spinal pain.
6 Fuligo — soot-oil a substitute for juniper- wood oil (ol.cadicum);
7 its application being recommended in variolous acne.
8 *Fumaria parviflora — grows among the corn in the Punjab,
9 as well as in the lower range of the hills. This plant is officinal
10 in the East, and is kept, like the fumitories in Europe, in a dried
11 state. The Hakims, like European physicians, employ it in
12 cutaneous diseases, internally and externally.
13 Fumar. herba (I.) Anorexia. Thirst.
14 Fungus igniarius. Boletus igniarius. Agaricus chirurgorum .
15 Agaricus qaerci — is procurable in Cashmere ; where the Jerahs
16 use its tinder ( agaric ) as in Europe, to stop bleeding from recent
17 wounds.
18 Fung. Ign. (I.)
19 Fungus Morilla, v. Phallus esculentus.
20 Gagermin g — is the bulbous root of a Cashmerean hill-
21 plant, which is unknown to me. The meaning of the name given
22 to this root is, in the Cashmerean language, mouse-brain ( gager
23 mouse and ming brain) ; it is somewhat like a dried little pear,
24 but does not seem to be officinal, as I could not procure any
25 from the Druggists in Cashmere. The man from whom I
26 received a few roots, at Lahore, being absent, I could not learn
27 whence he had them. As I discovered many interesting results
28 from my administration of this medicine, I hope, on returning
29 to that country, to be able to ascertain what it is. From the
30 specimen I brought with me, European Botanists have failed in
31 determining its derivation.
32 Gagermin g (I.) Expectoration of blood. Hectic
33 fever. Pain in the shoulder, arm, and knee. Tremb-
34 ling. Ulcers (endemic or syphilitic).
35 Galanga — of India, some Botanists arrange with Kcemp-
36 feria ; others with Alpinia ; while the natives of Lahore are of
37 opinion that the root of Piper Betle ( Pan ke jer ) is what
