   A plant.

   Etymology: melilot, Fr. melilotus, Latin.

   The melilot hath a papilionaceous flower, out of whose empalement arises the pointal, which afterward becomes a naked capsule, that is, not hid in the empalement, as in trefoil, pregnant with one or two roundish seeds: the leaves grow by threes on the foot-stalks, and the flowers are produced in a spike.

1. melilot

   Melilotus, known as melilot, sweet clover, and kumoniga (from the Cumans), is a genus in the family Fabaceae (the same family that also includes the Trifolium clovers). Members are known as common grassland plants and as weeds of cultivated ground. Originally from Europe and Asia, it is now found worldwide. This legume is commonly named for its sweet smell, which is due to the presence of coumarin in its tissues. Coumarin, though responsible for the sweet smell of hay and newly mowed grass, has a bitter taste, and, as such, possibly acts as a means for the plant to discourage consumption by animals. Fungi (including Penicillium, Aspergillus, Fusarium, and Mucor) can convert coumarin into dicoumarol, a toxic anticoagulant. Consequently, dicoumarol may be found in decaying sweet-clover, and was the cause of the so-called sweet-clover disease, recognized in cattle in the 1920s. A few varieties of sweet clover have been developed with low coumarin content and are safer for forage and silage.The name sweet clover varies orthographically (sweet-clover, sweetclover).
