friendly Posted January 26, 2005 Listed as narcotic in CRC Ethnobotany Desk Reference, entry #17987, pg 557. Native to Egypt and Arabia, zygophyllaceae, used to treat diabetes. No other information from CRC. Seeds to N. schoberi formerly available from J. L. Hudson, seedsman, but not listed in their current catalog. Check with them (they're online) and ask; they may still have some or can possibly put you onto the source. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
