Sa-mung-net. The small fennel flower, or ' Devil in a bush,' or the 'Kalnnja,' 

 or 'Kala-jira,' of Indian Bazaars. "The seeds of this plant, which were formerly 

 used for pepper, are valued by the inhabitants for their carminative properties, but 

 the plant is rarely seen in cultivation. The Hebrew word which in Isaiah is rendered 

 'ftehes' designates this plant, but not in Ezekiel, where the original word for 

 ' ftchcs ' signifies ' spelt,' a species of wheat " (Mason). 



The seeds are black, triangular, and have been likened to coarse gunpowder. 

 They are warm and stimulating, and therefore used to mix with unpalatable drugs.
