Curcas Purgans
A tropical plant cultivated in many warm
countries for the sake of its seeds, known as physic nuts. The
juice of the plant, which is milky, acrid, and glutinous, produces
an indelible brown stain on linen. The oil from the seeds is used
for burning in lamps; and in paints. In China it is boiled with
oxide of iron and used as a varnish. It is also used medicinally.
