Parallel reading

الورس: نبات كالسمسم، ليس إلا باليمن، يزرع فيبقى عشرين سنة، نافع للكلف طلاء، وللبهق شربا، ولبس الثوب المورس مقو على الباه، وقد يكون للعرعر والرمث وغيرهما من الأشجار، لاسيما بالحبشة ورس، لكنه دون الأول.

Al-Waras: A plant like sesame, found only in Yemen, which is cultivated and lasts twenty years. It is beneficial for blemishes when applied as a paste, and for leucoderma when drunk.
