(Ibn-El-Faraj, K.) هَلْتَى A certain plant; (S, K;) when it dries, it becomes red; and when it is eaten, and grows, it is called جَمِيمٌ: or, accord. to Az, a certain tree, growing like the صِلِّيَان, except that its colour inclines to red: or, accord. to Aboo-Ziyád, as AHn says, a plant of the kind called طَرِيفَة, growing like the صلّيان and the نَصِىّ, red when fresh and moist, and more red when it has dried: it is watery; and the camels and sheep &c. scarcely ever eat it when they find any other herbage to serve them in its stead. (TA.) هُلَاتَةٌ The black filth that is washed away from the membrane which encloses a young lamb or kid in its mother's womb. (K, TA.)
