Coffea Cruda.

Coffee. Rubiaceae.

Introduced by the Dutch into Java about 1690.

The Coffee plant is a small tree from 15 to 30 feet in height; the branches are opposite, gradually diminishing in length as they ascend, forming a pyramidal summit, which is covered with green foliage throughout the year; the leaves are opposite, smooth, dark green, oblong-ovate and four or five inches long, the flowers are white, with an odor resembling jasmine, the fruit is first green, then red, and ultimately dark purple. –U. S. D.

For medical use we take that which is imported under the name of Levantic (Mocha beans). We use the raw, not the roasted bean. When Coffee is roasted it destroys the caffein and changes it into caffeone-this is stimulating like tobacco. Hahnemann's caution in this respect is justified. His treatise on the effects of Coffee was published in Leipzig in 1803. A full proving of coffee by five persons, one of whom was Hahnemann, is recorded by Stapf in his additions to the Materia Medica, and contains 246 symptoms. Caffeine, the alkaloid of Coffea, contains the toxic principles of coffee in a very concentrated form. It was first discovered by Runge, and afterwards by Robiquet. It occurs in long, snow-white, opaque, odorless crystals, sometimes conjoined into feathery crystals, of a feeble, bitter taste.
