From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]:
Spikenard       (Heb. nerd), a much-valued perfume (Cant. 1:12; 4:13, 14). It       was "very precious", i.e., very costly (Mark 14:3; John 12:3,5).       It is the root of an Indian plant, the Nardostachys jatamansi,       of the family of Valeriance, growing on the Himalaya mountains.       It is distinguished by its having many hairy spikes shooting out       from one root. It is called by the Arabs sunbul Hindi, "the       Indian spike." In the New Testament this word is the rendering       of the Greek nardos pistike. The margin of the Revised Version       in these passages has "pistic nard," pistic being perhaps a       local name. Some take it to mean genuine, and others liquid. The       most probable opinion is that the word pistike designates the       nard as genuine or faithfully prepared.
