Several forms of gum seem to be of valuable commercial 

 importance throughout the country. The highest in import- 

 ance is that of Astragalus Heratensis, and another species, 

 a kind of Tragacanth called hatira, nextly that obtained from 

 the roots and leaves of Eremurus Aucherianus, by boiling, 

 viz., gid-sares or chansh-i-kdM, and lastly the gums 

 collected in orchards from the trees of plums, apricots, 

 peaches, and almonds, usually termed shilim. I was quite 

 astonished at the quantities of gum I saw being collected in 

 the various gardens from these trees, and the huge balls of it, 

 made up into half-camel loads, that were lying for sale in the 

 bazaars at Meshad, mostly all for exportation to Turkistan.
