Abal

English to Arabic Science Botany Desert Wildlife
A plant local to Rub' al-Khali, Saudi Arabia. It has shallow roots that collect rainwater.

Apparently, it is called 'Abal' by the natives, but I would like to have the correct spelling.

I tried looking for its scientific name and I ended up with different suggestions.
