A certain plant, of the shrub-kind (مِنْ دِقِّ

هَدَب of the أَرْطَى: AHn says, it resembles the
رِمْث, except that it is yellow (أَصْفَرُ [app. a mistranscription for أَصْغَرُ i. e. smaller]), and it has little wood, [and] the small and dry parts of its branches are fed upon [by the camels] (يُحْتَطَبُ): he adds, on the authority of the ancient Arabs of the desert, that it is [of the kind called] حَمْض, green, lank, pleasing to the camels: and Aboo-Nasr says that it is of the kind called
حَمْض.
