Definition
A tropical tree (Cassia fistula) with pods containing a laxative pulp, or the purgative medicine made from its pods.
Etymology
From Arabic qanah (reed/tube) plus Latin fistula (tube/pipe), referring to the pod shape. The plant was brought to European attention through medieval Arab physicians and became a standard medicinal ingredient.
Kelly Says
Canafistula pods are literally tubes of medicine—medieval doctors called them 'fistulas' because the seed pods are hollow tubes, and this tree was so important for laxatives that it appeared in every pharmacy in Europe for 500 years before modern medicines.
