طَلْحٌ ذ , [a coll. gen. n.,] (S, A, Msb, K, &c.,) and طِلَاحٌ; (S, A, K;) the latter said to be pl. of طَلْحَةٌ, (TA,) which is the n. un. of طَلْحٌ, (S,) or, accord. to Sb, the pl. of طَلْحَةٌ is طُلُوحٌ, like as صُخُورٌ is pl. of صَخْرَةٌ; and طِلَاحٌ also; and the pl. of طَلْحٌ is أَطْلَاحٌ; (M;) [The acacia, or mimosa, gummifera; an appellation applicable also to the سَنْط, which produces the gum-arabic: (see صَمْغٌ:) the former tree is termed by Forskål (Flora Ægypt. Arab. p. cxxiv.) “ mimosa gummifera; ” but it is more commonly termed an “ acacia: ” its pods are termed عُلَّفٌ, q. v.:] a species of large trees, (S, K,) of the kind called عِضَاهٌ; (S, Msb;) growing in El-Hijáz [and Egypt and Nubia and other countries]; the fruit of which is like that of the سَمُرَة; having curved thorns: the places in which it grows are the interiors of valleys; and it is that species of the عضاه which is the largest in its thorns, and the hardest in respect of its wood, and the best in respect of its gum: Lth describes it as above, and says that it is the same as the أُمُّ غَيْلَانَ [and the like is said in the A]: ISh says that it is a tall tree, affording a shade in which men and camels repose, with few leaves, long and large branches, with many thorns, [more] than the prickles of the palm-tree, and a great trunk, which a man's arm cannot embrace; the same as the امّ غيلان; and grows in the mountains: AHn says that it is, of the trees called عضاه, the largest, and that which has most leaves, and the greenest, and has thick and long thorns, but these are of the least hurtful of thorns, producing no heat in the foot; it has a fruit (بَرَمَةٌ) of pleasant odour; and there is not among the trees called عضاه any that produces more gum than it, nor any more bulky; and it grows only in rugged, hard, fertile ground. (TA.) By طَلْح in the Kur lvi. 28 may be meant the trees called امّ غيلان, because they have a blossom of a very pleasant odour. (Zj.) [But see below.] ― -b2- طَلْحٌ signifies also Banana-trees; syn. شَجَرُ المَوْزِ; and is said [by some] to have this meaning in the Kur lvi. 28: (Zj, T, TA:) or i. q. مَوْزٌ [which some expl. as meaning the trees above-mentioned; but others as meaning the fruit of those trees]: (Msb, K:) this, however, is said to be unknown in the [classical] language. (TA.) ― -b3- And i. q. طَلْعٌ [generally meaning The spadix of the palmtree; but sometimes the spathe thereof]: (K:) a dial. var. of the latter word: (S:) mentioned by ISk among words formed by the substitution of one letter for another: and this meaning, also, it is said [by some] to have in the Kur lvi. 28. (TA.) -A2- And Remains of turbid water in a watering-trough or tank. (K.) -A3- And Having the belly void of food. (K.) ― -b2- See also طَلِيحٌ.
