Hyphaene Thebaica
The doum, or doom palm, or gingerbread of
Egypt; it grows also in Nubia, Abyssinia, and Arabia. The fibrous,
mealy husks of the seeds are eaten, and taste almost like
gingerbread. In the Thebias this palm forms extensive forests, the
roots spreading over the lurid ruins of one of the largest and
most splendid cities of the ancient world.
