CHILLIES. 
Capsicum sp. 
Here again a large number of species, probably 
chiefly Capsicum fastigiatum and Capsicum frutescens 
appear under the name of chillies or red pepper. 
The dried ripe fruit is the part used, and some one 
or more of the numerous speeies of Capsicum yield- 
ing them are eultivated all over India. When 
powdered, they constitute chilly powder, or cayenne 
pepper.

CLOVES. 
Caryophyllus aromaticus. 
The unexpanded flower-buds of the clove tree 
constitute the “ eloves ” of commerce. The largest 
Proportion of this spiee whieh is consumed in India 
is clerived from Penang, where the tree has been 
introduced, and some probably reach Bombay from 
Zanzibar.

CORIANDER. 
Coriandrum sativum. 
The Coriander plant is eultivated extensively in 
India for the sake of its seeds, which enter into the 
composition of curry-powder, and are employed in 
other ways as a spiee or condiment, and as a medi- 
cine. The green plant is also used as a vegetable, 
and is exposed for sale in the bazaars during most 
part of the year.

CARRAWAY. 
Carum carui and Carum gracile. 
Two kinds of carraways are met with in India, 
that of the North being almost exclusively Carum 
gracile or black carraways, from their darker colour. 
There is sufficient difference in the fruits, when seen 
under a low power of the microscope, to warrant the 
conclusion that the two species are distinct. The 
common carraway is also grown in India, reaching 
as far as Cashmere and Western Tibet.

CUMIN. 
Cuminum cyminum. 
Cumin seeds are met with in the bazaars all over 
India, where they are in much use as a condiment. 
The plant is said to grow wild in the hills north of 
the Peshawur Valley and in Lahoul.

ANISE. 
Pimpinella anisum. 
This is an European plant, but it is eultivated in 
some parts of India, where it is employed whilst 
green as a pot herb, and also for the sake of its 
seeds. These latter are employed medicinally, at 
well as for a condiment.

FENNEL. 
Fceniculam panmorium. 
The fennel seed found in the Indian Bazaars is 
the produce of this species, which is regarded by 
some as only a variety of Fainiculum vulgare. Its 
uses and properties are similar to those of the other 
umbelliferous seeds, such as Carraway, &c.

AJWAN. 
Ptychotis ajowan. 
These little aromatic seeds are employed by the 
natives for medicinal and culinary purposes. They 
may be purchased in any bazaar in India, and are 
one of the most common of carminative seeds.

AJMUD. 
Ptychotis Roxburghiana. 
This plant, which produces this carminative seed, is 
the Apium involucratum of Roxburgh. It is the 
smallest of the umbelliferous seeds in use in India, 
resembling Ajowan, but not so aromatic in odour or 
flavour, and probably inferior.

CARDAMOMS. 
Elettaria cardamomum. 
The Officinal, or Malabar Cardamoms are well 
known in Europe for their medicinal uses, but in 
India they are equally appreciated and used as a 
spiee or flavouring ingredient, entering into the 
composition of many native dishes. The plant is a 
native of the Western Coast, and is eultivated in 
Malabar. In the Travancore forests it is found at 
elevations of 3,000 to 5,000 feet. The mode em 
ployed for obtaining cardamoms is to clear the
