شَقِرٌ ذ [The red, or blood-coloured, anemone; ] i. q. شَقَائِقُ النُّعْمَانِ: (S, M, A, Msb, K:) it is not a sweet-scented flower: (Msb:) n. un. with ة; (S, M, Msb, K;) pl. [of the n. un.] شَقِرَاتٌ: (K:) as also ↓ شُقَّارٌ and ↓ شَقِرَانٌ, (so in some copies of the K,) the latter so written by IDrd and Sgh, and thought by IDrd to be a place or a plant, (TA,) or ↓ شُقْرَانٌ, (so in some copies of the K and in the TA,) and ↓ شُقَّارَى and ↓ شُقَارَى: (K:) or شَقِرٌ is the name of a certain other plant, not the شقائق, but red like it: (M, * K, * TA:) or it signifies cinnabar: (A:) or شَقِرَةٌ has this signification, (T, K,) as well as that first assigned to it above: (K:) and accord. to AHn, (M, TA,) ↓ شُقَّارَى is the name of a certain plant (S, M, TA) that grows is sands, having a pungent odour, which is tasted in the flavour of milk: and he adds that, accord. to some, it is the same as the شَقِر; but that this opinion is not well founded: (M, TA:) it is also said that it is a certain plant having a flower of a dingy red colour, the seed, or grain, of which is called خِمْخِمٌ: (TA:) and that ↓ شُقَّارَى (M, TA) and ↓ شُقَارَى, (M,) or ↓ شُقَّارٌ, (TA,) are names of a certain plant, having a flower of a colour somewhat of that termed شُكْلَةٌ, with slender, or delicate, dust-coloured leaves, which grows in the manner of قَضْب [a kind of trefoil], is approved in pasturage, and grows only in fruitful years.
