Vahats is a small shrub, the bark of whose roots is 
used for dying ; it is taken off, when fresh, by water;

same bark: in this manner they dye their stuffs and 
silks of a red, the colour of fire; and by adding a 
little lemon-juice it will form a fine yellow.

scarlet colour, and exquisite taste : a decoction of the 
roots cures the heat of the urine and the gravel.
