| 单词 | chaffweed |
| 释义 | ˈchafeweed, ˈchaffweed Herb.
[According to Turner and other early writers, f. chafe + weed; see quot. 1551: otherwise it might be plausibly explained from chaff n.1 and weed, in reference to the chaffy receptacle of Filago.]
A name given by Turner to the plant Gnaphalium sylvaticum; extended by Gerard to other species of Gnaphalium and the allied Filago; applied by some especially to F. germanica, the chafewort of Turner. (By Lyte erroneously applied to Diotis maritima, the Sea Daisy.)
