A certain herb, resembling the
أُقْحُوَان [or chamomile] in its growth and its place of growth; n. un. with ة: it is one of the plants growing in the sands; and it is said that its flower is more contracted than that of the chamomile, and that the dust, or earth, sticks to it as it does to the [herb called] حَمَصِيص: or the flower of the
إِذْخِر [or juncus odoratus]; said by Az to be a sort of perfume, sometimes put into medicine, called
فُقَّاحُ الإِذْخِرِ; and it is the flower of the
إِذْخِر

لَوْن [i. e. colour, or kind]; as also
فَقْحَةٌ , thus with fet-h and sukoon. (TA. [Written by Golius فُقْحَةٌ.])
