(1996) Nasrin. Some lexicographers (e.g., Dāʿi-al-Eslām) believe it to be the same as nastaran, but Manučehri has mentioned both as two different flowers in the same poem (ll. 1513 and 1524). His description “nasrin dahān ze dorr-e monażżad konad hami” (the nasrin makes [its] mouth of strung pearls) would indicate a double white rose; de Fouchécour (p. 85) defines nasrin as “small white hundred-petaled rose,” apparently translating nasrin’s definition in the Borhān-e qāṭeʿ (ed. Moʿin, p. 2139), where it is vaguely described as being of two kinds, gol-e moškin “musky rose” (probably the above R. moschata, called nasrin also in Arabic; cf. Issa, p. 157, n. 10), and gol-e nasrin, which in Arabic is called ward ṣini “Chinese rose”....

(1996) The Bundahišn [a Pahlavi text from Iran of the late 14th/early 15th century], listing gul (rose) as one of the fragrant flowers (guls; tr. Anklesaria, 16.13, tr.

Bahār, pp. 88-89).
