صَوْمَرٌ ذ , a word of the dial. of El-Yemen, (IDrd, O,) The بَاذَرُوج; (M;) [i. e.] the trees, or plants, (شَجَر,) called by the latter name; (K;) or a species of بَقْل [or herb] called in Pers. by the latter name [which, commonly pronounced with د, is one of the names now applied to basil]: (IDrd, O:) accord. to AHn, a sort of tree, or plant, that does not grow by itself, but twines upon the غَاف, consisting of twigs with leaves like those of the أَرَاك, (M, O,) its twigs being more slender than thorns, (O,) and having a fruit resembling the acorn, (M, O,) in form, but thicker at the base and more slender at the extremity, (O,) which is eaten, and is soft, and very sweet: (M, O:) the stem of the صَوْمَرَة [which is the n. un.] is thicker than the upper half of the arm; and it increases in height with the غَافَة while the latter does so: (O:) 'Alee Ibn-'Abbás, author of the book entitled the “ Kámil, ” says that the بَاذَرُوج has in it nothing beneficial when a man takes it internally; but when applied externally, it matures, or causes suppuration, [for انفج in the TA, an evident mistranscription, I read أَنْضَجَ,] and acts as a dissolvent.
