555 Sud Sohaung.--The name of a red flower in India; its leaves three-cornered, serrated; it is cool, and beneficial in disorders from poisons, bile, blood; in dropsy and nausea; 3 mashas of this bruised and taken with water is useful in gonorrhoea. 556 Suda Khar.--A salt from a grass, very hot, and is used for cleansing lardaceous matter from sores; it increases the opening in boils, but decreases strength. 557 Sudaphill or Sudeephill.--A name for Bale. 558 Sudagolab.--A flower like the rose. Its tree is larger than the rose-bush, and its flower has a different smell; it is always in flower, from which circumstance it derives its name. I have not seen this noticed in any other work of India, but it is probably the Koocha: q. v. 559 Surphoka.--A plant of India, about a yard in height or sometimes more. It is very common; it is also called Joojer, and is a kind of Chirchirra Soorkh. It is bitter, astringent, and light; cures disorders of the liver and spleen, boils and eruptions, and cough; is an antidote to poisons; useful in disorders of the blood, difficulty of breathing, and fever. I have found it very beneficial in clearing the blood, and useful in correcting bile, curing itch, lues, and other eruptions. 560 Serje.--A name for Saaje. "Tectona grandis." 561 Sooryalee.--A plant about 6 feet high. I have seen it in Hissar in abundance; it grows in the rains and spreads over the sides of houses, its stem is then about an inch in diameter; its branches also thin, and of a bright red colour; its flowers are beautiful, white and red; when ripe it in some degree resembles wheat; its flowers are crooked. It is aphrodisiac. 562 Sirpund.--Aperient; cures general swellings, and disorders of wind and bile. 563 Sericbans.--Useful in mucous disorders and affections of the eyes. 564 Seriss.--"Mimosa Seris," called also Sereeka; a very large tree of India. Its flowers have a sweet smell, and are very beautiful; it is cool, cures boils and eruptions, poisons, aches, and swellings. If a decoction of the leaves be taken internally in ophthalmia, and the juice of the leaves dropped into the eye, it will be very useful, and this I have tried. The bark of the tree dried and pounded is excellent when sprinkled on foul ulcers, in which too it kills maggots. The smell of the flower is useful in head-aches and hemicrania, in cough and in jaundice. If the root of the white Seriss be kept in the mouth, it lengthens aphrodisia. Some have called this Layetoolatees. If the seeds be bruised with water, and this dropt into the eye, it will remove specks; the oil of the seed is also very effectual for this purpose.
