aromatic herb of southern Europe; cultivated in Great Britain as a potherb and widely as an ornamental
Samuel Johnson's Dictionary
Clarynoun
An herb.
It hath a labiated flower of one leaf, whose upper lip is short and crested; but the under one is divided into three parts: the middle division is hollowed like a spoon. Out of the flower-cup arises the pointal, fixed like a nail to the hinder part of the flower, and attended with four embryo’s, which turn to so many roundish seeds, inclosed in the cup of the flower. It grows wild on dry banks. Philip Miller.
Plants that have circled leaves do all abound with moisture. The weakest kind of curling is roughness; as in clary and burr. Francis Bacon, Natural History, №. 651.
