Comment: "Thanks to both Sami and Zarqa. I have chosen this one in view of the pictures showing the tree and the flower. Good research Sami. I am inclined to think that Zarka also had it as the catechu seems to come from the word Kathi (as in the). But as this was for use in a lieterary column (The Literary Corner in Yementimes.com on Mondays) it would seem that Sami's suggested answer would be more discernible. Thanks to all. I wish we could split points."
