Core sense — a large thorny acacia tree; banana-trees; the spadix of the palm-treegenerated

1the acacia, or mimosa, gummifera; a large thorny tree—طِلَاحٌ

A collective generic noun; it is said to be the plural of طَلْحَةٌ, which is the ism waḥda of طَلْحٌ. According to Sb, the plural of طَلْحَةٌ is طُلُوحٌ, as صُخُورٌ is the plural of صَخْرَةٌ and of طِلَاحٌ too; and the plural of طَلْحٌ is أَطْلَاحٌ.

The name applies also to the سَنْط, which produces gum arabic: see صَمْغٌ. Forskål (Flora Ægypt. Arab. p. 124) calls the former tree “mimosa gummifera”, but it is more commonly called an “acacia”; its pods are called عُلَّفٌ.

A species of large trees, of the kind called عِضَاهٌ, growing in El-Ḥijáz [and Egypt and Nubia and other countries]; the fruit is like that of the سَمُرَة, and it has curved thorns.

It grows in the interiors of valleys, and is the species of عضاه with the largest thorns, the hardest wood, and the best gum. Lth describes it so, and says that it is the same as the أُمُّ غَيْلَانَ.

ISh says that it is a tall tree, giving a shade in which men and camels rest, with few leaves, long and large branches, many thorns — more than the prickles of the palm-tree — and a great trunk that a man's arm cannot go round; the same as the امّ غيلان, and it grows in the mountains.

AHn says that of the trees called عضاه it is the largest, the most leafy, and the greenest, with thick long thorns, which are among the least hurtful of thorns, producing no heat in the foot; it has a fruit of pleasant smell; no tree called عضاه yields more gum than it, nor is any more bulky; and it grows only in rugged, hard, fertile ground.

By طَلْح in the Qur'ān 56:28 may be meant the trees called امّ غيلان, because they have a blossom of a very pleasant smell. [But see below.]

Of the measure فَعِيلٌ in the sense of the measure مَفْعُولٌ: made lean, or emaciated, applied to a camel; as also طَلِحٌ, or طِلْحٌ, and طَالِحٌ, so applied, by reason of fatigue or of disease.

Also, applied to a camel, and طِلْحٌ — the latter, and the former likewise, applied to the male and to the female of camels and of other animals — and طَلْحٌ and طَلِحٌ: fatigued.

In like manner, applied to a she-camel, طَلِيحَةٌ and طِلْحَةٌ; but the forms commonly known of these two adjectives so applied are without ة, because each has the meaning of an ism mafʿūl, and طَالِحٌ.

The plurals are طُلَّحٌ and طَلَائِحٌ [both plurals of طَلِيحٌ], meaning fatigued, or jaded, and made lean, by travel; and طَلْحَى, which last is [said by SM to be] irregular, because [he holds that] it has the meaning of an ism fāʿil, [apparently on the ground that some explain طَلِيحٌ as synonymous with مُعْىٍ and تَعِبٌ]; and طُلُحٌ is another plural, [apparently of the second and third and fourth of the singulars mentioned above,] meaning fatigued; and أَطْلَاحٌ is a plural [of paucity] of طِلْحٌ.
