Ziziphus lotus is a small deciduous tree found in the Mediterranean region, including the Sahara in Morocco and Somalia. It is closely related to the true jujube and is often referred to as the "lotus tree" in Greek mythology. The tree can reach a height of 2-5 meters and has shiny green leaves and small, edible yellow fruits. In various cultures, it is associated with religious and cultural significance, such as being mentioned in the Odyssey and being planted near the temple of Vulcan in Rome. In Arabic-speaking regions, it is linked to the lote-trees mentioned in the Quran, while in Palestine, it is known as Ziziphus spina-christi. The 19th century explorer Richard Francis Burton reported seeing an ancient sidr tree in Medina, which was used for various purposes including selling its fruit to pilgrims and using its leaves for washing dead bodies.
