الرِّوَنْدُ الصِّينِىُّ

, (K,) or الرِّيوَنْدُ الصِّينِىُّ, (L,) [mentioned in this article though the ن should be regarded as radical, for] it is not genuine Arabic, (L,) [China-rhubarb;] a well-known medicine; (K;) a certain cool medicine, good for the liver: (L:) the physicians add an ا to it, (K,) saying رَاوَنْد: (TA:) there are four kinds thereof; the best of which is the صِينِىّ; and inferior to this is the خُرَاسَانِىّ, which is [commonly] known by the appellation of رَاوَنْدُ الدَّوَابِّ, used by the veterinarians: it is a black [apparently a mistake for red, or yellow,] wood, of compound powers, but its predominant qualities are heat and dryness.
