جِرْجِرٌ [The herb eruca, or rocket;] a certain leguminous plant, well known: a plant of which there are two kinds; namely,
بَرَّىّ [i. e. eruca sylvestris, or wild rocket], and بُسْتَانِىّ [i. e. eruca sativa, or garden-rocket]; whereof the latter is the better: its water, or juice, removes scars, and causes milk to flow, and digests food: AHn says that the جِرْجِير is the بَاقِلَّى [q. v.]; and that the جِرجِير مِصْرِىّ is the تُرْمُس: [but see this last word.] (TA in art. ترمس.)
