2 Luffa amara. Cucumis Indicus. Mormordica charantia
3 — is cultivated at Lahore, and prepared as a dish for the table.
4 The form is that of a large-sized, long lemon, covered with
5 excrescences. The taste is exceedingly bitter ; but, when cut in
6 slices and soaked in water, it loses some of its bitterness. The
7 natives are fond of them, when prepared along with animal
8 food.
9 Luffce am. eootractum (II.)
10 Lujf. am. fructus (I.)
11 Luff. am. semina (I.) Cholera-morbus.
12 Lupinus albus. Phaseolus albus — officinal, but not culti-
13 vated at Lahore. The Hakims use these white beans in internal
14 heat, Indian Leprosy, etc.
15 Lupin, alb. (I.) Swelling of the parotid gland.
16 *Lupulus, Humulus. Vitis Septentrionalis — the dried
17 strobiles or cones of hops, I had from Europe, as they are
18 unknown in the Punjab. Hops have lately been planted at
19 Dheyra Dhoon, and a brewery has been established at Mus-
20 soorie. On the well-known medicinal properties and uses of
21 Hops I forbear descanting.
22 Lupul. Hum. strobuli (I.) Anorexia and subsultus of
23 the stomach. Pain in the knee-joints. Ulceration
24 of the thyroid gland.
25 Lycium, v. Berberis Lycium.
26 Lycoctonum. Luparia. Canicida. Aconitum Ponticum — is
27 said to be a deadly poison to wolves and the family of dogs gene-
28 rally. Probably this may be the best remedy against hydropho-
29 bia ; it should be tried internally, as well as endermically, by in-
30 oculating with the active principle of this medicine, i. e., to apply
31 Lycoctonina on the wound, made by the rabid animal.
32 Lycoperdon Tuber, v. Tuber cibarium.
33 *Lycopodium — is unknown at Lahore. I took both plant and
34 tincture of the seeds (spores) with me, from Europe.
35 Lycop. herba (I.) Bloody urine. Cough. Giddiness.
36 Headache.
37 Lycop. tinctura seminum (I.) Fever with pains.
