Full Definition
سُلَّجٌ
A certain plant, upon which the camels pasture, soft, flaccid, or fragile, of the shrub-kind; also called
, or
, like قمّحان; and
سَلِيجَةٌ : or the
سلّجان , i. e. سُلَّجَان, with damm to the س, and teshdeed and fet-h to the ل, is a species of the
سُلَّج; and this last is one of the largest of the kind of trees called
حَمْض: accord. to AHn, or as is said by some one or more of the Arabs of the desert, the سُلَّج is a large kind of trees, like the tails of the [lizards called] ضِبَاب [pl. of ضَبٌّ], green, and having thorns, and [of the kind termed] حَمْض: in the T it is said to be a sort of
حَمْض
that ceases not to be green in the summer, or hot season, and in the
رَبِيع [app. here meaning autumn], and is weak, or weak and soft: Az also says that it grows in the plains, or level tracts, has a fruit, or produce, with a sharpness in the extremities thereof, and is green in the [season called] رَبِيع, and then dries up, and becomes yellow: and he adds, [contr. to what has been said above, from his work, the T,] it is not reckoned among the trees called
حَمْض.
