Compare earlier rhamn n.

Originally: any of various thorny shrubs, mostly of the family Rhamnaceae (see rhamn n.). In later use: spec. any plant of the genus Rhamnus (family Rhamnaceae), comprising shrubs and small trees native chiefly to the northern hemisphere, and including the common or purging buckthorn, R. cathartica, alder-leaved buckthorn, R. alnifolia, and numerous other species; (in form Rhamnus) the genus itself. Frequently attributive.Valid publication of the genus name: Linnaeus Species Plantarum (1753) I. 193.bastard rhamnus: see the first element.
