I now have comprehensive data from Allen's Keynotes and Clarke's Materia Medica. Here is the full compare and contrast:

Collinsonia vs. Ratanhia - Rectal Complaints (Homoeopathic Materia Medica)

1. Source / Common Name

	Collinsonia canadensis	Ratanhia (Krameria)
Plant family	Lamiaceae (Stone Root)	Polygalaceae (Rhatany root)

2. Primary Rectal Focus

Collinsonia - Haemorrhoids (piles) are the central complaint; chronic, obstinate, venous congestion of the rectum. Strong link with heart disease.
Ratanhia - Fissure-in-ano and post-defaecation agony are the central complaint; intense burning and splinter-like pains are the hallmark.

3. Type of Haemorrhoids

Collinsonia - Blind (non-bleeding), burning, purplish piles. Rarely bleed. Rectum feels full of small sticks or is dry and hot. Knife-like pains shoot up the rectum.
Ratanhia - Protrusion of haemorrhoids after stool followed by long-lasting aching and burning in the anus. Piles present but pain is mainly post-stool, not a venous engorgement picture.

4. Character of Pain

Collinsonia - Burning, fullness, sticking sensation; rectum feels full of small sticks; pain persists for hours after stool.
Ratanhia - Excruciating, as if splinters of glass were sticking in the anus and rectum (after stool). Burning after even soft stool. Pain is more violent and sharp in character.

5. Fissures

Collinsonia - Not a primary keynote.
Ratanhia - Fissures of the anus with great sensitiveness of the rectum is a leading indication. (Also fissures of nipples in nursing women - Graph., Sep.)

6. Constipation Picture

Collinsonia - Hard, dry stool difficult to pass; dryness and heat of rectum; stool followed by intense pain in anus for hours; severe lumbo-sacral backache.
Ratanhia - Stool hard with great straining; bowels inactive; constipation with protrusion of piles; burning after even soft stool.

7. Sensation in Rectum

Collinsonia - Feels full of small sticks; dry, hot; itching and burning; knife-like shooting pains up rectum.
Ratanhia - Splinters of glass sensation after stool; great sensitiveness of rectum; intense burning.

8. Prolapse

Collinsonia - Prolapsus recti (blind haemorrhoids + prolapse picture).
Ratanhia - Protrusion of haemorrhoids after stool (not full rectal prolapse as a feature).

9. Cardiac-Rectal Connection

Collinsonia - UNIQUE to this remedy: Heart disease complicated with haemorrhoids; consult Collinsonia when Cac., Dig. and other remedies fail. The pelvic and portal venous congestion is tied to cardiac weakness.
Ratanhia - No cardiac connection. Purely local rectal pathology.

10. Modalities

Collinsonia - Aggravated by least mental emotion or excitement. Backache and pelvic symptoms worse on walking or stooping.
Ratanhia - Aggravated by passage of stool (even soft). Burning and pain are worst after defaecation.

11. Associated Complaints

Collinsonia - Severe lumbo-sacral backache (constant, affecting sacrum and hips); back "gives out" during pregnancy, leucorrhoea, prolapsus. Yellow tongue with constipation/haemorrhoids.
Ratanhia - Terrible toothache during pregnancy (tooth feels elongated, < lying). Fissures of nipples in nursing women.

12. Stool Type

Collinsonia - Hard, dry stool; sometimes diarrhoea (early morning, forcible, with much flatus).
Ratanhia - Hard stool with great straining; burning even after soft stool.

13. Key Differentiating Rubric (in brief)

Feature	Collinsonia	Ratanhia
Core pathology	Venous congestion + blind piles	Fissure-in-ano + post-stool agony
Characteristic pain	Sticks/fullness + burning lasting hours	Splinters of glass + excruciating burning
Heart link	Yes (portal-cardiac congestion)	No
Fissures	Not prominent	Primary keynote
Backache	Marked lumbo-sacral	Absent
Pregnancy association	Back/prolapse/leucorrhoea	Toothache + nipple fissures

14. Comparable Remedies

Collinsonia relates to: Aesc., Aloe, Cham., Nux, Sulph.
Ratanhia relates to: Sulph. (burning piles), Nit. ac. (burning after soft stool), Thuja (splinter sensation in rectum).

Summary in one line: Collinsonia = chronic blind burning piles with cardiac-venous congestion and back symptoms; Ratanhia = violent post-defaecation burning and splinter pain from fissures, even after a soft stool.

One-line summary:

Collinsonia = chronic blind burning piles with portal-cardiac venous congestion, back symptoms, and mental excitement aggravation.
Ratanhia = violent post-stool fissure pain with glass-splinter sensation and burning, even after a soft stool.

Cholesterinum is the physiological opponent of Lecithin
Both seem to play some unknown part in the growth of tumours
Key fact to remember for exam

Compare / Associated Remedies

Remedy	Relation
Lecithinum	Physiological opponent; both linked to tumour growth
Iodoform 3x	Burnett alternated with Cholesterinum in semi-malignant liver/pancreatic affections

Sarcode from bile and biliary calculi - C₂₆H₄₄O
Cancer of liver = first drug to think of
Physiological opponent of Lecithin - both linked to tumours
Gallstones + Insomnia = unique combination symptom
Obstinate hepatic engorgements that make one "think interrogatively of cancer"

Dose: 3x trituration (Burnett); higher potencies for constitutional use
Left lobe of liver + pylorus + pancreas - Burnett's semi-malignant indication
Alternative to morphine in gallstone colic (Allen) - when symptoms cannot be obtained

Web search is temporarily unavailable. I will note that "Lillium carb" is not a standard homeopathic remedy name - you likely mean either Lilium tigrinum (Tiger Lily) or possibly Ledum palustre for joint complaints. Let me answer from my comprehensive materia medica knowledge, and also clarify:

Note: "Lillium carb" is not a recognised homoeopathic remedy. You most likely mean:

Lilium tigrinum (Tiger Lily) - which has joint + female complaints, OR

Ledum palustre - classically compared with Actea spicata for small joint involvement

I will give you Actea spicata vs. Lilium tigrinum below (most likely pairing for exams). If you meant Ledum, please let me know.
