     فأما غراسة الميس وهو القيقب وهو ضرب من النشم وإن الذكر هو النشم الأسود وثمره حب صغار سود مدحرجة في داخلها نواة. تؤكل في أكتوبر وفيها بعض الحلاوة وخشبه جيد للسروج ولغير ذلك. وتوافقه المواضع الرطبة وكل الأرض وينجب في كل مكان إلا في الأرض السوداء الحارة.

     In what concerns planting of nettle trees it is the hackberry and it is a sort of elm and the male is the black elm and its fruits are small, black, rotund berries with pips in its inner. They are eaten during October and are endowed with sweetness and its wood is good for saddles and other things. Moist spots and every earth is apt for it, and it prospers on every place except on dark, hot earth.

     And the rockrose, say Abū al-Ḵayr and others, is the field rose, and also the land rose, it is said, and there are two kinds: One is called in Berber raḥbal and its leaves are of the dimensions of the leaves of the olive but longer and wider, more gray and rugged, and its branches are rough, stiff and lean into white, and in spring it blossoms in roses of a red hue you almost miss, and in their mid there is yellow and this is called field rose, and it is said that if a rose is grafted onto it it will prevail. The second kind of rockrose has smaller leaves than the first, of a more intense green, and it is more rugged around and along, and its branches lean into red and spawn white roses, vivid in the middle. And both liaise with trees.
