p. 54) explains the Persian word as "free tree," and Leclerc accordingly derives it from azad-diraxt. Skr. nimba, nimbaka, mahanimba.
8(4o). uSnan, Herba alkali, chiefly species of Salsola. "There are four kinds of alkali herb, a white, yellow, green, and an Indian kind
which occurs as Indian hazel-nut (funduq-i hindi), also called xurs-i sini (` Chinese xurs') and rutta." Cf. T `oung Pao, 1916, p. 93; above, p. 551.
9(54). bitix ul-hindi, P. hindewane, water-melon (above, p. 443). 10(73). beladur, balcidur, the marking-nut tree (Seinecar pus anacardium). Cf. above, p. 482.

12(78). bang, henbane (Hyoscyamus), a narcotic prepared from hemp-seeds. The seed was used as a substitute for opium (Abu Mansur,

14(87). tiit, mulberry (Morus alba), a native of China. The opinion of NÖLDEKE (Pers. Studien, II, p. 43), that the Persian word is traceable
to Semitic, is entirely erroneous, as this species spread from the far east and India to Iran and Europe, and began to be cultivated in the Mediterranean area only from the twelfth century. Skr. tûda and tûla, Bengali and Hindustani tûl, tût, Morus alba or indica (RoxBURGH, Flora Indica, p. 658); cf. SCHRADER in Hehn, Kulturpflanzen, p. 393.
