بطم
بُطْمٌ (
S,
K) and بُطُمٌ, (
K,) the latter allowable
accord. to
IAar, (
TA,) The حَبَّة خَضْرَآء [or fruit of the terebinth-tree, to which this latter appellation is given in the present day, i. e., of the pistacia terebinthus of the botanists]; (
S,
K;) so
accord. to the people of El-'Áliyeh; and the like is said on the authority of
As: (
TA:) or the tree thereof; (
K;) [which is called بُطْم in the present day;] so
accord. to
AHn; and he says, but no one has told me that it grows in the land of the Arabs; but they assert that the ضِرْو [meaning the cancamum-tree, also called كَمْكَام, but said by
IAar to be the حبّة خضراء,] is nearly like it: (
TA:) its fruit is heating, diuretic, strengthening to the venereal faculty, good for the cough, and for the [disease of the face called]
لَقْوَة, and for the kidney; and the overspreading of the hair with its dry and sifted leaves causes it to grow, and beautifies it. (
K.)
