Jaborandi (Pilocarpus jaborandi) is a plant native to South America whose leaves contain a powerful alkaloid: pilocarpine.
In 19th- and early 20th-century pharmacy, it was used for its sudorific and sialagogic properties (stimulating salivation and sweating), as well as in ophthalmology to reduce intraocular pressure (for the treatment of glaucoma).
Due to its intense effects and the risk of adverse side effects if mishandled, it required strict precautions for storage and handling, which explains its “A—Separate” label—meaning it had to be kept apart from other substances in the poison cabinet.
Mouth-blown glass, as the depression of the cane's pontil remains under the jar.

It comes from an old cellar-laboratory in a Parisian pharmacy. The bottles had not moved since the late 1950s on the shelves. The cellar had served as a laboratory for medical analyses and a laboratory for magistral preparations of the pharmacy from 1900 until around 1950.
This large-capacity jar was a reserve jar intended for the storage of raw materials to be processed into powders, tinctures or infusions in the pharmacy laboratory.
