Samuel Johnson's Dictionary
Toothwortnoun
dentaria, Lat. A plant.
The toothwort hath a fleshy root, which is scaly, and cut in, as it were, with teeth: the flower consists of four leaves, placed in form of a cross; this is succeeded by a long pod, divided into two cells by an intermediate partition, and when ripe twisted up like a screw, and discharges the seeds with violence. Philip Miller.
