I need help for a few vegetable ingredients composing an incense (buhur). Some of the names are quite obscured and some may derive from persian. This particular ingredient is seeds from something?

Shadanki seed
Such names are created by charlatans. It is just a weird name that makes the seed look rare, and this is the case for you now. You have been looking for something based on a name that only charlatans know; I guess.

Discussion
In this case the names are taken from an old manuscript, and all the others are correct except a few that are incomprehensible or some rural names/synonyms.
