  Saffron
     Heb. karkom, Arab. zafran (i.e., "yellow"), mentioned only in
     Cant. 4:13, 14; the Crocus sativus. Many species of the crocus
     are found in Palestine. The pistils and stigmata, from the
     centre of its flowers, are pressed into "saffron cakes," common
     in the East. "We found," says Tristram, "saffron a very useful
     condiment in travelling cookery, a very small pinch of it giving
     not only a rich yellow colour but an agreable flavour to a dish
     of rice or to an insipid stew."
