Le Henné, Lawsonia inermis est un arbrisseau de la famille des Lythrarées. Il pousse généralement dans les oasis sahariennes. Il n'atteint presque jamais la taille de 1 mètre mais il peut devenir arborescent. Son bois est blanc; il porte des fleurs blanches à quatre pétales disposées en bouquets et parfumées. On en tire en Orient des essences et des huiles odorantes, mais c'est surtout pour ses feuilles que l'on fait un grand commerce car on en tire un pigment naturel qui a de nombreuses vertus. 2, record 1, French, - henn%C3%A9
