I need to buy a myrtle plant. People who work in a nearby nursery cannot understand me. They do not know word “myrtle” and whoever I asked could not identify a small branch of the plant.
Google translate gives me الآس نبات عطري but nobody knows what this can be.

Perhaps you can visit Orman Botanical Gardens: This is the largest botanical garden in Cairo, with the greatest diversity of trees and plants.

I've tried "raihan" (or reehan) - does not work. Nowadays it is used for Basil (at least, in my pronunciation). I shall try "hadass" but hubby says that there is no such plant (although he does not know much about plants).

For further claification cut and paste the arabic word into Google (images) to make sure it's the right plant. But it's it.
