Sami/Samika, Prosopis cineraria, from the pea family, Fabaceae, is a deep-rooted, perennial, multipurpose tree that is used to provide fodder for cattle in the drier areas of India and the Arabian Peninsula. Its bark is ground up to make flour during famines. It also has a plethora of ethnomedicinal benefits and commercial uses.
