Full Definition
شَرْشَرٌ
, or
شِرْشِرٌ , A certain plant, which extends along the ground like ropes, in the same manner as the
قُطْب, but having no thorns that hurt any one: Az says that it is a well-known plant, seen by him in the desert; that it fattens the camels, and makes their milk plentiful; and that it is mentioned by IAar and others among the plants of the desert:
شِرْشِرَةٌ is expl. in the K as though it were the name of another plant; but it is not so; for شِرْشِرٌ is the pl. [or rather coll. gen. n.] thereof: it is a herb smaller than the
عَرْفَج, having a yellow flower, and twigs, or shoots, and large dust-coloured leaves: it grows in plain, or soft, ground; and spreads wide, as though it were ropes, by reason of length, of the measure of a man in a standing posture; and has berries (حَبّ), like those of the
هَرَاس.
def.2 شِوَآءٌ شَرْشَرٌ Roasted flesh-meat, of which the grease, or gravy, drips; like شَلْشَلٌ and رَشْرَاشٌ.
