شَرْشَرٌ ذ , (IAar, S, K,) or (so in the S, but in the K “ and ”) ↓ شِرْشِرٌ, (Ibn-Ziyád, S, K,) A certain plant, (S, K,) which extends along the ground like ropes, (Ibn-Ziyád, AHn, K,) in the same manner as the قُطْب, but having no thorns that hurt any one: (Ibn-Ziyád, AHn:) 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. (TA.) -A2- شِوَاآءٌ شَرْشَرٌ Roasted flesh-meat, of which the grease, or gravy, drips; (S, K;) like شَلْشَلٌ and رَشْرَاشٌ. (TA.)
