Calligonum Polygonoides: Phog

Calligonum polygonoides, locally known as phog, is a small shrub found in Thar desert areas, usually 4 feet to 6 feet high but occasionally may reach even 10 feet in height. This plant is referred to as orta in old Arabic poetry. It commonly grows on dry sandy soils and on sand dunes. It is becoming increasingly rare due to the demand for its roots, which are used to make charcoal, which is commonly used to melt iron. The scrub is often fed to cattle, and the flowers are eaten by humans in some areas.
