Samuel Johnson's Dictionary
Birdsfoot
The name of a plant.
Etymology: ornithopodium, Lat.
It has a papilionaceous flower; the ovary, which rises out of the flower cup, afterwards becomes a pod, sometimes distinguished into bells by transverse partitions, full of seeds, for the most part roundish; the leaves grow by threes, but have two wings, or little leaves, at the origin of their foot stalks. The species are,
1. The tallest hairy birdsfoot trefoil, with a glomerated flower.
2. Upright hoary birdsfoot trefoil, &c. The first of these plants is, by some, supposed to be the cytisis of Virgil; it dies to the ground with us every winter, and rises again the succeeding spring; and, when the roots are strong, the shoots will rise to four or five feet high, and produce flowers in great plenty; if it be cut while young, the cows are very fond of it, but horses will not eat it, unless they are very hungry. Philip Miller.
