People's Dictionary of the Bible
Mustard. Matthew 13:31-32; Matthew 17:20; Luke 17:6. This plant is the black mustard (Sinapis nigra). In the fertile and warm soil of Palestine, especially when cultivated, this herb must have reached considerable size. Dr. Thomson has seen it there as tall as the horse and his rider, and the ground near the Sea of Galilee is often "gilded over with its yellow flowers."
