Toxicity of leaves?

[edit]

The article states that the leaves are toxic. How does one explain this recipe, which is apparently popular in Chinese culture? Badagnani 11:18, 6 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Halimifolium

[edit]

Why is L. halimifolium not mentioned in the article? Is this species no longer valid, or is it a synonym of L. barbarum? Badagnani 20:02, 8 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]


Gharqad

[edit]

Gharqad redirects to this article, but there's no mention of the word in the article... AnonMoos (talk) 11:20, 9 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

It is mentioned in this edit, but apparently some commissar didn't want it to remain there. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 94.255.204.170 (talk) 12:27, 19 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

According to this translation site below, in addition to others on the internet, lycium plants/fruit are not the Gharqad trees mentioned in Islamic Hadith. As a person of Arabic descent, we know these plants as 'Awsej (confirmed on this and other translators). Gharqad are another thorny plant indigenous to Arabia. http://www.almaany.com/home.php?language=english&lang_name=English&word=LYCIUM —Preceding unsigned comment added by 75.33.13.81 (talk) 02:43, 12 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

'Gharqad' no longer redirects to this article, but instead to the article on Nitraria retusa, which also does not mention the word. However, an alternative spelling, 'Gharkad', still links to this article. At least one of these articles needs a section on the cultural significance of the plant. (I had a quick search of the Net but was unable to find reliable sources, only some contributions on Quora, and an abstract posted on Oxford Scholarship Online.) For now, I'll add 'See also' links to both articles, pointing to a discussion of the plant . Please note, there seems to have been minor edit warring on this subject from 2013 to 2016, according to edit summaries. Meticulo (talk) 07:58, 7 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

What's up with the See Also?

[edit]

What do either of those have to do with the topic? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 174.24.230.247 (talk) 04:34, 15 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]
