شكر

شَيْكُرَانٌ ذ (S, K) and شَيْكَرَانٌ, (K,) [in the CK, erroneously, شَكْرَان and with damm to the ك,] or the correct form is شَيْكُرَانٌ, with damm to the ك as Ibn-Hishám El-Lakhmee and El-Fárábee have expressly affirmed; (TA;) or it is correctly with س, (K,) unpointed, and so it is mentioned by AHn; (TA;) [but see سَيْكُرَانٌ;] or correctly ↓ شَوْكَرَانٌ, (K,) as Sgh holds to be the case, (TA,) [and thus it is written in several medical books, from the Pers. شَوْكَرَانْ; accord. to Golius, Cicuta herba, and applied in the present day to conium, i. e. hemlock, or a species thereof; and this is probably what is meant by Golius, as the conium maculatum, or common hemlock, is called by some cicuta; ] a certain plant, (S, K,) of the kind called حَمْض, (so in a marginal note in a copy of the S,) the stem of which is like that of the رَازِيَانَج [or fennel ], and the leaves of which are like those of the [ species of cucumber called. ] قِثَّاآء, or, as some say, like those of the يَبْرُوح [q. v.], and smaller; having a white flower, and a slender stem, without any fruit; and its seed is like [ that of ] the نَانَخَوَاة [or ammi ], or [ of ] the أَنِيسُون [or anise ], without taste or odour, and mucilaginous.
