A euphorbiaceous plant of India. A powder is attached to the fruit capsule of this plant, which is brushed off and collected when the fruit is dry. It is called Kameyla, is used in Northern India as a vermifuge for dogs; and has proved effectual against tapeworm in man. The dose is two or three drachms, which purges.
