186 Bukaen.--Melia Sempervirens. (A species of the bead-tree.) The Hindoos call it Mahaneeb, vide M. In the Maadentezerrabad, it is thus described: Bukaen, is a common tree, cool, dry, and bitter; useful in disorders of the blood, gravel, swellings, and miliary eruptions, also piles and lumbago. If 9 mashas of the seed be bruised, mixed with equal parts of sugar, and taken every morning in water, it will stop the discharge from the bleeding piles; or if a seer of the seeds, when they have become yellow, be infused in two seers of water, and buried in the ground for 21 days, taken out, and 1/4 seer drank every morning for six months, it will certainly cure leprosy; both Juzam and white. 187 Pushanbedh.--A. Jeuntiana. Its oil is equally beneficial, as that before recommended for strengthening particular organs. This and the Jeuntian are of a very different appearance, they are either distinct plants, or have become different from peculiarity of soil or cultivation. It is a root of a dirty-red color, or when broken, of a bright red; in figure a little crooked. It is cool and laxative; it is lithontriptic, cures seminal weakness, and gonorrhoea. My late uncle used half of this, and half Mendhi, as an application to the inside of the hands and soles of the feet of women laboring under immoderate flow of the menses, and equal benefit was derived, as is usually done from the Mendhi. In the Maadentezerrabad, it is called cool and dry, removing flatulence, bile, thirst, heat, dysuria, gravel, contraction of the urethra, and difficult menstruation. For the cure of the above-mentioned complaints, it is to be given in water; but for seminal weakness, gonorrhoea, dysuria, &c. it is to be taken in goat's milk. The dose is six mashas. It grows in stony places. 188 Buckree, or ChËrie, q. vide 189 Becktindeek.--A kind of Teindoo, q. vide
