713 Kutcherie.--(Cucumis Madraspatanas;) sweet, hot, light, and soft; creates appetite; increases bile. It is called Dustumboieya, vide Phoot. There is another fruit which bears this name, it is a creeper, found in fields, like the Kunoorie fruit; it is pungent, bitter; assists digestion, and increases appetite. In my opinion, it is hot; it is eaten cut in half, and fried with salt and oil, and greatly relished. It is thus also rendered more active in its properties. It is used both ripe and unripe; when used with meat, the later is easily rendered tender. It forms an ingredient in all stomachic powders in India. 714 Kutchoor.--"Curcuma Zerumbet, (Roxb.)" Of three kinds: large, male, and female. The large kind is also called Nerkuchoor, and the simple word Kutchoor is generally applied to the female; the third kind is called Kaphoor Kutcherie. The Nerkutchoor is also called Zerambeed. The three kinds possess nearly the same properties. It is hot, light; creates appetite; cures Juzam, piles, boils, wounds, difficulty of breathing, Badgola, disorders of wind, and mucus, and is vermifuge. 715 Kudum.--"Nauclea Orientalis, or Kudum, and another kind called Mohoonut; also one kind named Dhoul Kudum, and Bhoom Kudum." The leaves and flower resemble the walnut tree; all kinds are cool, and are useful in disorders of mucus, bile, and blood. 716 Gudha.--Its flesh is sweet, during digestion bitter. It is light, strengthens the system, and increases bile and mucus. 717 Gudloon.--Hot, light; cures disorders of wind and mucus. Is aperient and diuretic. 718 Goodhul Citron.--Has a flower like the poppy, and many leaves; its leaves are like the mulberry, and it flowers every alternate year. Its fruit is like the apple; when unripe, green, and acid, with a little bitterness; but when fully ripe, and it has become yellow, the bitterness does not remain; it also becomes red and sweet, but if it remain long on the tree it again assumes a greenish hue. The tree is like the lime tree with broad leaves. The people of India have an idea, that if the flowers be kept in the house they produce quarrelling and strife; the flowers are used in lowness of spirits arising from heat. It is said, that the root of this and also that of the Kunaer are very intoxicating. If boiled in milk, and this curdled, it is aphrodisiac. 719 Kurna.--The flower of the above; it has four leaves, and is white before it opens; it is shaped like an arrow-head; it has a sweet perfume, and as such is used; a distilled water is also made from it and an essential oil. The water is called Arukbahar, and is hot and dry, and used in weakness of the brain; also as an aphrodisiac; creating appetite and elevating the spirits; also in pains of the chest, in cholics from wind, and delirium.
