more probable that the word is a corruption of Tarchon, the Arabic name of the plant. See Tarchonanthus. 
The leaves and points of the shoots are used as an ingredient in pickles. A simple infusion of the plant 
in vmcgar makes a pleasant fish sauce ; it is eaten along with beef steaks, as horse-radish is with roast beef; 
and is employed, both in Europe and Persia, to correct the coldness of salad herbs, and season soups and other 
compositions. The plant is of the easiest culture, but, like other species of the genus, dislikes a wet soil. 
From the acrid leaves of A. chinensis the drug called Moxa is obtained ; a substance much in use among
