American Tract Society Bible Dictionary

Hebrew Dudaim, Genesis 30:14-16 Song of Song of Solomon 7:13 , a plant to which was attributed, probably without reason, the power of rendering barren women fruitful. According to most of the ancient versions, it was the Atropa Mandragora of Linnaeus, a plant of the genus Belladonna, with a root like a beet, white and reddish blossoms, and fragrant yellow apples, which ripen from May to July. But this opinion is uncertain.
