Galium: Great Weed #7


Galium is the season of the legumes. Among the most brilliant is the pretty week, Lotus coniculatus, the bird's foot trefoil. Trefoil, a stupid word; it means three leaves. I think the word trefoil is dorky, but on the other hand I like the word "wort." It's from the Middle Ages and it means plant. But best, it goes very well with eye of newt.
