لفح

لُقَّاحٌ ذ A certain well known plant, (K,) of the kind termed يَقْطِينِىٌّ, (L,) which people smell, (S.) yellow, and of sweet odour, (A, L,) resembling the بَاذِنْجَان (S, A, K,) when it becomes yellow; (S, A;) [accord. to Golius, app. on the authority of Ibn-Beytár, the same which the Syrians and Egyptians call شَمَّامٌ, q. v.]. ― -b2- Also, The fruit, or produce, (ثَمَرَة,) of the يَبْرُوح [or mandrake, which is called by this name (يبروح) in the present day]; (K;) thus correctly written, with the ى before the ب [not ببروح, as in the CK and some MS. copies]. (TA.) [It seems that the application of the term لفّاح to both the mandrake and the شمّام has led to confusion, and occasioned Linnæus to call the latter “ cucumis dudaim. ” See also يَبْرُوحٌ, and مَغْدٌ.]
