ضَالٌ ذ The wild [species of lote-tree called] سِدْر [q. v.]: (S, O, K:) or such of the سِدْر as are watered only by the rain; (M, K:) the سِدْر of the mountains, which is thinner in its wood than that of the rivers: AHn says, it grows in the plain, or soft, tracts, and in the rugged; and the bow that is made of it, when it is pared, is pared so as to be thick, in order that it may be stronger, because of the lightness of its wood: (M:) n. un. with ة. (S, M, O, K.) [See also عُبْرِىٌّ, and عُمْرِىٌّ.] ― -b2- Also Another species of tree; (M, K;) AHn says, it is a tree of the shrub-kind, found in the borders of El-Yemen, rising to the height of a cubit, in its manner of growth like the cypress, and having a yellow [fruit of the sort called a] بَرَمَة, of a very pungent odour, so that its odour comes to you before you reach it: it is not of the سِدْر thus called.
