English to Arabic translations [PRO] Science - Botany
English term or phrase:4 terms
Echinacea
Rosehip
Hibiscus
Blackcurrant
(these are all different flavours of tea)
I am currently having great difficulty finding the right Arabic words
for
the above, which I need despertly for an urgent translation I am doing.
None
of the dictionaries I checked have it. Al-Mawred has Hibiscus as
خبيزة
(khobeizeh) which is wrong. Hibiscus is a tropical flower and Khobeizeh
is
weed like Dandeline.
Any help with the above will be highly appreciated.
With kind regards

اخناسيا - ثمرة الورد البري - كركدي - الكشمش الأسود
Explanation: Since خبيزة which is used in Al-Mawrid Dictionary does not fit your purpose you might as well use كركدي which is used by some translators for this term.
