Alhagi camelorum Fisch. CAMELSTHORN. MANNAPLANT. The Orient and central Asia. This indigenous shrub furnishes a manna by exudation[1].
Alhagi maurorum Medic. PERSIAN MANNA-PLANT. North Africa to Hindustan. Near Kandahar and Herat, manna is found and collected on the bushes of this desert plant at flowering time after the spring rains[2].
