Azan al-far - forget-me-not

Essence.
This is a herb whose potency, according to Galen, is close to that of the herb used to polish glass. This name is given to two herbs. Galen says about one of them: “It has the smell of wild mallow, and it has no hardness.” Another is mentioned by Dioscorides. He says that this herb is similar to bindweed, but its leaves are smaller in comparison with the leaves of bindweed. It spreads along the ground and has thin stems. Its garden variety smells pleasant, but it does not have a strong smell or taste; Its flowers are azure, the seeds are similar to coriander seeds. Swallows eat it, and it is pungent, especially the one that does not grow close to the water. Masih said: “Its benefits are the same as those of wormwood,” but one should not expect the same effects from both plants.
