A certain plant of the [season called] رَبِيع: n. un. with ة: the latter, of which the former is [said to be] the pl., signifies a certain herb, or leguminous plant, rising upon a stem, having what resembles in form an ear of wheat, in which are grains like those of the
يَنْبُوت [which is variously explained], and a heart, or kernel, (لُبَاب,) the grain of which is a remedy for wounds: it is also called صَخَآءَةٌ; but the more approved pronunciation is with س. (TA in art. صخو.)
