2 Rorismarini tin dura (I.)
3 Rosmarinus sylvestris, v. Ledum palustre.
4 Rottlera tinctoria — Kamila or Kamud of the
5 Lahore bazaar is what Dr. Royle, in the Illustrated Catalogue
6 of the Great Exhibition, nominates Reroo . It is taken to
7 Lahore from the hills, in the form of coarse red powder ; is
8 reported to be the hairs of a pod from a tree, and is chiefly used
9 as a purple dye. The Indian name of this article, Kamila , is
10 probably a derivation from the Sanscrit Kamila , signifying
11 Jaundice, as the color of it is a yellowish-red.
12 Rottlera tindoria (I.) Anorexia. Fever. Giddiness.
13 Hemiplegia. Hepatic or thoracic pains.
14 Rubia Munjista vel Manjista. Rubia cordifolia — is
15 substituted in Lahore and Hindostan for the Rubia tindorum
16 used in Europe. I believe this article (important in a commercial
17 view at Lahore) is now also cultivated in Europe. Camel loads
18 of madder are brought from Banu and Tank (on the west side
19 of the Indus) to Lahore. On the Cashmerean mountains this
20 plant is met with growing wild, but is not used. What I admi-
21 nistered was that of Banu-Tank, and proved very useful, and is
22 an important remedy, as its red coloring matter tinges the
23 bones, milk and urine of animals.
24 Rubice Munj. radiv (I.) Catarrhal sneezing. Fever.
25 Obstructions. Pain in the shoulder and chest.
26 Rumbling in the intestines, with indigestion. Vo-
27 miting.
28 * Rubus Id.eus — does not grow in Hindostan. A nearly
29 allied species, Rubus concolor , is found in the Himalayas, as also
30 in Cashmere.
31 *Rubus vulgaris. Rubus fruticosus — like the former,
32 grows at Cashmere.
33 Ruku ( roucou ) tinctoria — annotto is prepared in Hindostan,
34 from the seeds of Bioca orellana , and is used chiefly as a dye.
35 Ruku tindoria (II.) Catarrh. Diarrhoea.
36 * Rum ex Acktosella. Acetosa vulgaris — Sorrel grows in
37 the valley of Cashmere. Sec Rume v obtusifolius.
