قَصَبُ الطِّيبِ [or calamus aromaticus, also called قَصَبُ الذَّرِيرَةِ, q. v., in art. قصب], which is brought from India, and resembles the reeds of which arrows are made: its internodal portions are filled with a white substance like spiders' webs; and when powdered, it is a perfume, inclining to yellowness and whiteness: or, as some say, it is a mixed kind of perfume: [but this, if correct, seems to be a second application:] pl. of the latter, أَذِرَّةٌ.
