1. Malabathrum

   Malabathrum, malabathron, or malobathrum is the name used in classical and medieval texts for certain cinnamon-like aromatic plant leaves and an ointment prepared from those leaves. Cinnamomum tamala (sometimes given as Cinnamomum tejpata), grown most commonly in the eastern Himalayas, but also in the Western Ghats, is thought to be a notable source of these leaves, although other species of Cinnamomum and even plants in other genera may have been used. In ancient Greece and Rome, the leaves were used to prepare a fragrant oil, called oleum malabathri, and were therefore valuable.

1. Malabathrum

   Malabathrum, Malabathron, or Malobathrum, is the name used in classical and medieval texts for certain cinnamon-like aromatic plant leaves and an ointment prepared from those leaves. Cinnamomum tamala and Cinnamomum obtusifolium, grown most commonly in the eastern Himalayas, are thought to be notable sources of these leaves, although other species of Cinnamomum and even plants in other genera may also have been used. In ancient Greece and Rome, the leaves were used to prepare a fragrant oil, called Oleum Malabathri, and were therefore valuable. Malabathrum is mentioned in the 1st century Greek text Periplus Maris Erytraei and sourced to a people called Sêsatai, identified with Kirradai of Ptolemy. Though Malabathrum was a product of Northeast India, it was rarely traded by the western traders at the mouth of the Ganges, which is much closer to the source, but at southwestern Indian ports of Muziris/Nelkynda It is mentioned in the Periplus that some people collected the green leaves after the Sêsatai in the northeast, prepared them, and carried them to the ports of trade. In the language of Kerala that is, Malayalam, the plant is called 'Vazhana'. It is also known as 'Edana' in Malayalam. The name Malabathrum is also used in mediaeval texts to describe the dried leaves of a number of trees of the genus Cinnamomum, which were thought to have medicinal properties.
