单词 spanish broom
释义

Spanish broomn.

Etymology: Spanish adj., n.1, and adv. Compounds 6.
The plant Spartium junceum (or Cytisus junceus), common to the Mediterranean region, the rush-like branches or twigs of which are used in basket-work and yield a fibre employed in the manufacture of cords, coarse cloth, etc. The resemblance of the generic name Spartium to Latin spartum (see spart n.1), and misunderstanding of passages in Pliny, has led to occasional confusion between Spanish broom and esparto grass.
ΘΚΠ
the world > plants > particular plants > cultivated or valued plants > yielding fibre, thatching, or basket material > [noun] > trees or shrubs yielding fibre, etc. > Spanish broom
