butterjags
butterjags n. English regional Obsolete either of two leguminous plants with yellow flowers, bird's-foot trefoil, Lotus corniculatus, and yellow medick, Medicago falcata. [The second element is probably the plural of jag n.1, perhaps on account of the resemblance of the flowers to the garments described at jag n.1 1a.]
