Lawsonia Inermis
A shrub whose flowers grow in bunches having a very sweet smell (Song of Sol. 1:1414My beloved is unto me as a cluster of camphire in the vineyards of En-gedi. (Song of Solomon 1:14); Song of Sol. 4:1313Thy plants are an orchard of pomegranates, with pleasant fruits; camphire, with spikenard, (Song of Solomon 4:13)). The Hebrew name is kopher, and the Arabs call it henna. A powder made of the leaves and flowers is mixed with water and used by the women to color the nails of their hands and feet.
