ما هو الاسم الآخر للكتم في المغرب؟

1 min readAlso available in العربية

"No definition of 'katam' from the Maghreb countries has been found, but language and Hadith books have mentioned its definition and characteristics. Katam is a plant that does not grow tall, thrives in rocks, and trails downwards. Its leaves resemble those of the myrtle, and it is mixed with 'wasmah' to dye hair black. It has also been said that it is a plant that grows in plains, its leaves are similar to olive leaves, and it bears fruit the size of peppercorns. It seems that katam refers to types rather than a single type."
