قلقس

قُلْقَاسٌ [The colocasia; or arum. colocasia of Linnæus: or its root:] the root of a certain plant, which is eaten cooked, (AHn, K,) and used medicinally: (AHn:) the decoction thereof increases the venereal faculty, and fattens; but the taking it constantly engenders black bile. (AHn, K.) [See De Sacy's “ Relation de l'Egypte par Abd-allatif,” pp. 94 — 98.]
