Abstract

Sichuan Peppers and the Etymology of Fagara (Rutaceae). We present a synopsis of the history and derivation of faraga from its Arabic origin through confusion with the Chinese fajiu. Fagara, or Zanthoxylum, a medicinal spice, has a venerable history of human uses beginning in China, spreading through West Asia to Europe, and finally reaching the New World.[PUBLICATION ABSTRACT]
