Full Definition
سَيْكُرَانٌ
A certain plant, always green, the grain whereof is eaten: Ed-Deenawaree [i. e. AHn] says, it is of the plants that continue green throughout the whole of the summer: I asked a sheykh of the Arabs of Syria, and he said, it is the
سُخَر, [correctly سُخَّر,] and we eat it in its fresh state, with what an eating! and, he said, it has green grains, like the grain of the
رَازِيَانَج [or fennel], except that they are round: [in the present day, it is applied to henbane, or a species thereof: accord. to Forskål, hyoscyamus datora. See also شَيْكُرَانٌ.]
