Hola, os dejo el contexto:

EDIBLE PLANTS

Soy incapaz de encontrar la traducción. Alguien la sabe? Y lo mejor de todo, alguien conoce alguna buena fuente de referencia bilingüe sobre botánica?

Gracias.

Es en la página 22, pero creo que la palabra que indican es la transcripción del árabe, me da la impresión de que no se trata de una palabra española, te dejo esta entrada por si te sirven los enlaces.

abal Calligonum comosum / arta

Explanation:
Calligonum comosum doesn't seem to have a common name. But it's closely related to "arta"' Calligonum polygonoides.

Arta and Auarach are transliterations from Arabic of course, not Spanish words as such.
