Full Definition
سَلِسَةٌ
A certain herb, bearing a near resemblance to the
نَصِىّ, except that it has a grain like that of the [species of barley called] سُلْت; and when it dries up, it has an awn that flies about, when it is put in motion, like arrows, sticking into the eyes and the nostrils, and often blinding the pasturing beasts: the places of its growth are the plain, or soft, tracts.
