14. A beautiful legumen, of a scarlet colour, with a black spot at the point of attachment to its cyst. It is called in Dar-Fûr _Shûsh_; is about the size of a small pea, hard and polished; grows on a plant resembling tares; is strung and used as an ornament by the women. 15. The common onion, Allium cepe, _Bassal_, Ar. is abundantly supplied in Dar-Fûr, but inferior in size, taste, and colour, to that of Egypt. 16. Garlick, Allium sativum, _Tûm_ Ar. cultivated and used for food. 17. Water-melon, Cucurbita citrullus, _Butteik_ Ar. This grows wild over almost all the cultivable lands, and ripens as the corn is removed. In this state it does not attain a large size. The inside is of a pale hue, and has little flavour. As it ripens, the camels, asses, &c. are turned to feed on it, and it is said to fatten them. The seeds, as they grow blackish, are collected to make a kind of tar, _Kutrân_. Those plants of the melon which receive artificial culture grow to a large size, and are of exquisite flavour. 18. Common melon, Cucumis melo, _Kawûn_ Ar. is occasionally cultivated, but rarely brought to perfection. 19. Cucumbers, Cucumis sativus, _Cheiar_ Ar. of which the Jelabs have introduced the culture, as well as of the preceding. 20. Gourd, Cucurbita Lagenaria, _Karra_ Ar. This serves for drinking-vessels and other purposes. It is found in abundance. When fresh, it is used for food, and being properly dressed with meat, is very palatable. Grows to a large size. 21. Cœlocynthis, _Handal_ Ar. very common. 22. Momordica Elaterium, _Adjûr_ Ar. also very common. 23. _Ushar_. This plant abounds so much as to cover whole plains. No other use is made of it than to spread its branches and leaves under mats and goods, which it is said guards them from the _Termis_ or white ant. 24. Nightshade, Solanum foliis hirsutis, _Enneb-el-dîb_. 25. Hemp, Cannabis vulgaris, _Hashîsh_, Ar. is now become an article of regular culture, being used in various ways as an aphrodisiac, and in different proportion as a narcotic. _Hashîsh_ is a general name for green herbs, but chiefly appropriated to this: it is chewed in its crude state, inhaled by means of a pipe, or formed, with other ingredients, into an electuary, _maijun_. In Egypt the consumption of this article is much greater than in Dar-Fûr, but the best is that of Antioch in Syria. 26. Rice, Oryza, _Oruzz_ Ar. is brought in small quantities by the wandering Arabs, who find it growing wild in the places they frequent. It is little used or esteemed, and indeed has no quality to recommend it. 27. Cayenne pepper, _chetti_ or _Tchetti_, in the language of the country, is extremely common in one district, whence it is dispersed over the country and used with food. 28. Kidney-bean, _Lubi_ Ar. 29. _Meluchia_. 30. _Bamêa_, in great abundance.
