In Omani studies: Miller & Morris (1988) wrote that: "This pretty low-growing plant is found principally on the high plateaux at the back of the monsoon mountains. The plants grow in neat round clumps, their attractive and distinctively-shaped yellow or mauve flowers making a bright splash of colour in what is usually rather featureless and stony terrain. One of the names for this plant, J: tur erun, means 'dates for goats', a name given to this species, it is said, because goats are very fond of the whole plant, and especially when it is in flower after the rains (just as camels are said to be particularly fond of the plant Ruttya fruticosa, called by many tur iyyel, which means 'dates for camels')". (Ref. Plants of Dhofar).
