CLOVER ,
Word of the Day: Catachrestical
1. A genus of plants, called Trifolium, trefoil, or three-leafed, Fr. trefle. The species are numerous. The red clover is generally cultivated for fodder and for enriching land. The white clover is also excellent food for cattle, either green or dry, and from its flowers the bee collects no small portion of its stores of honey.
2. To live in clover is to live luxuriously, or in abundance; a phrase borrowed from the luxuriant growth of clover and the feeding of cattle in clover
