Agri2000 16-0410 : {sa.pa:ling-hsi-mhwé:}, Citronella grass, Cymbopogon nardus, Gramineae

UKT: The name {sa.pa:ling-mhwé:} does not agree with me. This species was introduced only after the Second World War. By {sa.pa:ling}, we meaning the one we use in cooking which has a pleasant smell, whereas because the essential oil of  C. nardus is mainly used for scenting laundry soap, it reminds one of soap. The suffix {mhwé:} meaning a <pleasant smell> is therefore wrongly applied. Read further in my note {sa.pa:ling (hing:sa:)} Cymbopogon citratus.

UKT: See my comment in {sa.pa:ling-mhwé:} Cymbopogon nardus. The reader will notice the suffix {mhwé:} meaning <pleasant smell>. In the insert pix, the name in Burmese-Myanmar is given as {sa.pa:ling (ro:ro:)}. The suffix {ro:ro:} in parentheses means <common> or <ordinary>. This use of the suffix {mhwé:} in both C. citratus and C. nardus is a source of confusion in the essential oil market in Myanmar.

UKT: Based on Agri2000 16-0415 and 17-0421, I have relabeled this entry as {sa.moan-Ño}.
In the original book the entry was {sa.mrait (sa.moan-Ño)}. This is also in partial agreement with the insert pix.

Agri2000 17-0424: {sa.ro}, Long pepper, Piper longum, Piperaceae

UKT: According to Agri2000 17-0424, {sa.ro} is P. longum. But LSR has given it as P. chaba . According to one of the Burmese-Myanmar apothecaries , what is sold in the market as {sa.ro} are stems of P. longum . Probably, the disagreement here has arisen out of this market practice.
   It is to be noted that the entry in Agri2000 can also be error, because, the Agri2000 38-0997 listed P. longum a second time as {pait-hkying:}, Long pepper; Dried catkin, Piper longum, Piperaceae. LSR listed {pait-hkying:} on p.287.
   Chklist on 070301, did not list P. chaba. However, Sorting Piper Names, MMPND (Multilingual Multitranscript Plant Name Database) , listed on 070301,  P. chaba W.Hunter, giving synonym as Chavica officinarum Miq., suggesting that Piper retrofractum Vahl.
