ذَنَبَانٌ
A certain plant, well known, called by some of the Arabs
ذَنَبُ الثَّعْلَبِ: a certain plant having long branches, somewhat dust-coloured in its leaves, growing in plain, or soft, land, upon the ground, not rising high, approved as pasture, and not growing except in fruitful years: or a certain herb, or plant, like
ذُرَة [or millet]; or a certain herb having ears at its extremities like the ears of
ذُرَة, and having reeds, (قصب [i. e. قَصَب], M,) or twigs, (قضب [i. e. قُضُب], TA,) and leaves, growing in every place except in unmixed sand, [for حُرَّ الرَّمْلِ in the TA, I find in the M حَوَّ الرُملِ,] and growing upon one stem and two stems: or, accord. to AHn, a certain herb, having a
جزرة [app. meaning rhizoma like the carrot], which is not eaten, and twigs bearing a fruit from the bottom thereof to the top thereof, having leaves like those of the
طُرْخُون, agreeing well with the pasturing cattle, and having a small dust-coloured blossom upon which bees feed; rising about the height of a man, or half the height of a man; two whereof suffice to satiate a camel: [a coll. gen. n.:] n. un. with ة.
