Many thanks to Irene and Carolyn
I have understood that tritration is used where the substance cannot be
dissolved in water and or alcohol.
How do they produce the 4th Trit of something like Puls which is a plant
extract and has not be triturated in the first instance?

Re: 4th Trit
Hi Soroush,
It is my understanding that all remedies are to be triturated to C3 before being run up to the potency levels. It doesn't matter whether they are dissolvable or not.
Footnote 144 of the Organon states:
Although equal parts of alcohol and freshly expressed juice are usually the
most suitable proportion for affecting the deposition of the fibrinous and
albuminous matters, yet for plants that contain much thick mucus (e. g.,
Symphytum officinale, Viola tricolor, etc.), or an excess of albumen (e. g.,
Aethusa cynapium, Solanum nigrum, etc.), a double proportion of alcohol is
generally required for this object. Plants that are very deficient in juice,
as Oleander, Buxus, Taxus, Ledum, Sabina, etc., must first be pounded up
alone into a moist, fine mass and then stirred up with a double quantity of
alcohol, in order that the juice may combine with it, and being thus
extracted by the alcohol, may be pressed out; these latter may also when
dried be brought with milk-sugar to the millionfold trituration, and then be
further diluted and potentized (v 271).
Warm regards,

Re: 4th Trit
You might think that to be the case! However, in The Homeopath Volume 84, Meetings with Remarkable Remedies, John Morgan of Helios writes:
"The trituration of well known minerals hasa also been memorable. For example, Kali bichromicum will stick to the mortar quite noticeably during grinding; and Sulphur, despite much washing between potencies, will keep a faint odour even at 3c. Arsenicum seems to break up into quite organised pieces during grinding, whilst Phosphorus is a positive danger to health:- because it is reactive to air, it has to be ground with some water to form a paste with the lactose."
