  1. Ground-pinenoun

    chamæpitys, Latin. The leaves are narrow and trifid; the flower labiated: the place of the crest of the flower is supplied with little teeth: the lower lip is divided into three parts, the middle segment being split again into two parts. The flowers rarely grow in whorles, but one or two are produced at the wings of the leaves. Philip Miller

    The whole plant has a very singular smell, resembling that of resin; whence its name groundpine. It grows on dry and barren hills, and in some places on the ditch-banks by roadsides. It is highly extolled, by the generality of medical writers, as an aperient, cephalick, and nervous medicine; but it is however little used at present. John Hill, Mat. Med.

  1. ground pine

    Ground pine is a common name for several small, low-growing evergreen plants typically found in temperate and cold regions. These plants usually belong to the genus Lycopodium in the family Lycopodiaceae, commonly known as clubmosses. They are called "ground pine" because of their pine-like appearance and because they usually grow very close to the ground. Despite the name, ground pines are not actually related to true pine trees.
