      والشكوس قال أبو الخير وغيره هو الورد الفحصيّ وقيل البريّ وهو نوعان أحدهما يسمّى بالعجميّة الرحبل ورقه في قدر ورق الزيتون وأطول وأعرض أغبر أحرش وأغصانه خشنة صلبة إلى البياض ما هي تطلع في زمن الربيع نوره كالورد حمراء فائتة وفي وسطها صفرة وهذا هو المسمّى الورد الفحصيّ ويقال إن الورد إن ركب فيه فينجب والنوع الثاني من الشكوس ورقه أصغر من ورق الأول وأشدّ خضرة وهو أحرش بين الاستدار والطول وأغضانه إلى الحمراء ما هي تطلع وردا أبيضا ناصعة في وسطها وكلاهما لاحق بالأشجار.
      And the rockrose, say Abū al-Ḵayr and others, is the field rose, and also the land rose, it is said, and there are two kinds: One is called in Berber raḥbal and its leaves are of the dimensions of the leaves of the olive but longer and wider, more gray and rugged, and its branches are rough, stiff and lean into white, and in spring it blossoms in roses of a red hue you almost miss, and in their mid there is yellow and this is called field rose, and it is said that if a rose is grafted onto it it will prevail. The second kind of rockrose has smaller leaves than the first, of a more intense green, and it is more rugged around and along, and its branches lean into red and spawn white roses, vivid in the middle. And both liaise with trees.
