CRAMBE CORDIFOLIA, Stev. ; Boiss. Fl. Or. i. p. 405. (Plate IV.) 
Hari-rud valley : 344, April 29, 1885 ; Badghis, May 19, 1885. Native names: Tetran, 
Tatran, Taturan, Tatera, Thatrang. А very coarse-growing perennial, with an under- 
ground root-stock, somewhat resembling an elongated Swedish turnip, from a foot to 
eighteen inches in length, and from six to eight inches in cireumference. From this root- 
stock, annual shoots are thrown up from three to four feet in height, bearing great masses 
of sweetly scented flowers. | 
This plant is extensively spread all over the Badghis, and, no doubt owing to the rich 
sandy loam in whieh it is found, it produces the large turnip-like root-stocks, which are 
collected and stored by the Turkomans for feeding their camels on during winter.
