Baaras
A marvelous plant known to the Arabs as the "Golden Plant," which is supposed to grow on Mount Libanus, under-neath the road that leads to Damascus. It is said to flower in the month of May, after the melting of the snow. At night it can be seen by torchlight, but through the day it is invisible. It was believed to be of great assistance to alchemists in the transmutation of metals. It is alluded to by the historian Josephus (Lib. 8, Chap. 25.)
