475 Deodar called also DÈodarie. The name of a tree; the wood of which bears the same name; it is resinous; hot and beneficial in wind, phlegm, costiveness, piles, and fever. "The Fir tree." 476 Deomun.--A name for Mahumeed. 477 Raab.--Treacle; it is heavy; strengthens the system; is diuretic; increases perspiration, and the three secretions. 478 Raje Umber.--A fruit of India; sweet, cool, astringent, and useful in disorders of mucus and bile. 479 Rassun..--Commonly called Raisun or Rowasun; a tree about the size of a Baer tree, or larger; it is a weak biennial plant, but grows rapidly when transplanted. Its leaves grow on both sides of a centre stem, like the Tamarind, and it is rather longer: the tree grows straight from the root. The author of the Topha has described it as a root, and says that the people of India call different medicines by the former names, but they are both the same, and it is the common kind that I have described. Its pod is like the Lobeia (bean.) The flower is outside yellow and inside red, with a tinge of yellow. Its leaves contract in the night and unfold in the morning. Some have called it sweet and cool, and have described many varieties of it, white, yellow, red, and grey; but I fancy the difference is merely confined to the color of the flowers; some have said that it diminishes strength. Its flowers are peculiarly beautiful. If its leaves are bruised and applied moist to swellings, it either resolves the tumour or hastens suppuration; it is bitter and heavy, cures disorders of wind and mucus, swellings of the body, difficulty of breathing, eruptions from suffusion of bile, itchiness in the stomach, dropsy, and increases the powers of digestion. 480 Rajejakha. A medicine of India; astringent to the taste; dry, heavy, and astringent in its effects; increases wind and foecal evacuation; decreases appetite, and adds to the secretion of milk. 481 Rajehuns.--A name for Purse·washan. 482 Rai.--"Sinapis Ramosa, Roxb. sp. ch. Annual, erect, ramous siliques expanding, linear, vertically compressed, smooth; leaves petioled, lower lyred; superior, sublanceolate, (Roxb. MS.) Murray II. 398, Woodville III. 409." Cool, bitter, hot, and dry; beneficial in mucous disorders, itch, and Juzam; is vermifuge, stomachic, and increases diffusion of bile. A. Khirdul. 483 Raang.--Stannum, Tagarum, Tam. Hot, dry, light, and soft; strengthens the eyes; is vermifuge; useful in marasmus, difficulty of breathing, and a deficiency of bile. A. Rusas. In the Maadentezerrubad, it is thus described: Raang is called in P. Kaley; cool in the 2nd degree, and moist in the 1st degree. Calcined, it is slightly cool and dry. If a piece of this Kaley be put into a pot with meat, you may boil it as long as you please, but the meat will not be properly boiled. The Kaley for internal use is calcined, the dose from one to two soorkh.
