s. f, (Poṭ.) A naked looking bushy plant (Crotalaria Burhia, Nat. Ord. Leguminosæ) common in all the more arid parts of the Punjab from Dehli to Trans-Indus, up to Peshawar. It is eaten by cattle. It has a very tough bark, which has exactly the smell of broom when bruised. Ropes are in many parts made from it by the dry process. The rope is not strong, and is probably only used on account of the cheapness of the material. The branches and leaves are in the east used as a cooling medicine.
