@Fay Freak, here is a fun challenge for you. What species of plant is meant here? —Μετάknowledgediscuss/deeds 05:42, 6 September 2021 (UTC)Reply

@Metaknowledge: Mayhaps the hallucinogenic Veratrum album, once Helleborus albus, as this rarity is here in an edition of ʾAbū al-Ḥakam ad-Dimas̆qī followed by خربق أبيض. More likely though, or now, Hyoscyamus muticus, so one translation of it in Almaany, and in combination with this even more reliably in some Dr. Libya listed as the local name of سَكْرَان (sakrān).
