‘ gora lani,’ ‘ khar lam,’ and ‘ pliesak lani.’ All three serve as 
fodder for camels, but only ‘ khar lani’ is used for making the 
‘sajji’ or barilla of Indian commerce. The plants are collected 
in November, a pit is dug, and in it the dried plants are set on fire. 
The carbonate of soda and other saline matter dissolving and 
again solidifying with the ash, forms a stone-like mass, which is the 
sajji of commerce. Next in abundance to these, is the ‘ bui’
