قُلْقَاسٌ

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