Meaning Of Puttyroot
n.
An American orchidaceous plant (Aplectrum hyemale) which
flowers in early summer. Its slender naked rootstock produces each year
a solid corm, filled with exceedingly glutinous matter, which sends up
later a single large oval evergreen plaited leaf. Called also
Adam-and-Eve.
