Habitat.--A small, glabrous, undershrub, with trifoliolate leaves, found in Western and Southern India. History.--Garcia d'Orta, for many years, during the sixteenth century, physician to the Viceroy's Court at Goa, was, according to Dymock, acquainted with the drug, which he called Avacari (meaning emetic), but he had not seen the plant. He mentions a successful cure of a case of dysentery treated with a decoction of the bark in rice water. Dymock supposes the Goanese name Trifolio to be a translation of the Marathi name TtnpAni. Medicine.--The drug consists of the creeping Roots and the slender Stems attached to them. It is mentioned by Rheede as a remedy in South India for rheumatism and itch. Dymock states that in the Konkan the Hindus use the stems and leaves in decoction with bitters and arcmatics as a remedy for biliousness. According to the Pharmacographia Indica it has recently been tried in Madras in acute dysentery and also as an emetic and expectorant with results similar to those obtained from I pecacuanha, given in equal doses. The root has a pungent aromatic odour. Chemical Composition.--The ether extract was found by Hooper to contain an alkaloid, an oxidisable fixed oil, and a wax.
