Subject: Needs resource for Medieval plant names

Dear colleagues,

I'm reading through some medieval Arabic texts and am finding it  
difficult at times to properly identify some of the plant names used  
as drugs. Does anyone have recommendations on one or more good sources  
for this problem? I am familiar with (and have profitably used) I.  
Löw's work, Aramaeische Pflanzennamen (Leipzig, 1881), and, while not  
directly touching on Arabic terms, his comments often do give useful  
observations for Arabic.

Many thanks in advance for other recommendations.

Adam C. McCollum, Ph.D.
