                                                                                                  23.

 

               Trigonella Foenum-graecum L. <[>Leguminosae<]>; Fenugreek.

 

          The seeds of this species are present in a few samples, 

forming the chief constituent in two cases.

          The plant occurs in Egypt (native?) etc; probably 

native in Iraq and Kurdistan (Sirjaev); widely cultivated from 

antiquity (Herb. Kew.).

          The seeds have medicinal uses (Drag.316, Watt), and <Fenugreek> is 

also stated to be one of the constituents of Kyphi mentioned in 

the receipesic given in the Ebers Papyrus (see Tsch., xxx[?] 1, 473).
