Full Definition
الرِّوَنْدُ
, or الرِّيوَنْدُ الصِّينِىُّ, [mentioned in this art. though the ن should be regarded as radical, for] it is not genuine Arabic, [China-rhubarb;] a well-known medicine; a certain cool medicine, good for the liver: the physicians add an ا to it, saying رَاوَنْد: there are four kinds thereof; the best of which is the صِينِىّ; and inferior to this is the خُرَاسَانِىّ, which is [commonly] known by the appellation of رَاوَنْدُ الدَّوَابِّ, used by the veterinarians: it is a black [app. a mistake for red, or yellow,] wood, of compound powers, but its predominant qualities are heat and dryness.
