Full Definition
فَاغِيَةٌ
and
فَغْوٌ The flower of the
حِنَّآء [i. e. Lawsonia inermis, or Egyptian privet]; as also فَاعِيَةٌ: (K in art. فعو or فعى:) or both signify the flower, or blossom, of anything [i. e. of any plant, or, app., of any fragrant plant: see Ham p. 713]: or, as is said in a trad., the فاغية is the prince, or chief, of the sweet-smelling plants of Paradise: Sh says that
signifies نَوْر ورَائِحَة طَيِّبَة [a flower, or blossom; and a sweet odour: but I think that we should read نَوْرٌ ذُو رَائِحَةٍ طَيِّبَةٍ
a sort of flower, or blossom, having a sweet odour]: and IAar says that the فاغية is the best and the most fragrant of sweetsmelling plants: or it is the flower produced by a branch of the
حِنَّآء
that has been planted inverted, and which is sweeter than [that of] the [common] حِنَّآء.
