In Omani studies: Ghazanfar (2003) wrote that: "There are many folk legends attached to this plant; it is believed that Mary clenched this plant in her hand when giving birth to Jesus, hence the common Arabic name, “fist of Mary”. An infusion made from stems has been used for easing childbirth in traditional Arabian medicine". (Ref. Flora of Oman; vol 1.).
