s. m, The Salvadora oleoides, Nat. Ord. Salvadoraceœ. A more stiff-looking tree than chhoṭí waṉ, and with greyer foliage. This species flowers about April and the fruit (Pílhúṇ) ripens at the beginning of the hot weather. It is sweetish, and is largly eaten by the natives. The leaves are eaten by and occasionally collected as fodder for camels. In the southern Punjab the wood is at times used for rafters, and Persian wheels. It furnishes a poor fuel;—chhoṭí kauṛí waṉ, s. m. A tree (Salavadora Indica, Nat. Ord. Salvadoraceæ) which differs from the Waṉ in being taller, with very white branches, which are more graceful and less stiff; the leaf is larger and the fruit bitter. It grows over a much smaller area in the Punjab than the other species. The wood of the tree is useless even for fuel; the leaves are eaten by camels and are also used as salad. Pieces of the wood are carried to long distances for sale, as it is much in vogue for tooth- sticks or miswák by Muhammadans, who use theirs for a number of times:—waṉ werí, s. m. A slender climber (Pentatropis spiralis, Nat. Ord. Asclepiadeœ) found in the Central Punjab. The flowers are used medicinally:—miṭṭhá waṉ, s. m. The same as Waṉ. (V.)
