Identifier: CC-52991-74135
Scope and Contents Wikipedia: Purple Betony is a perennial grassland herb growing to 1 to 2 feet tall with leaves stalked on upright stems, narrowly oval, with a heart-shaped base, with a somewhat wrinkled texture and toothed margins. Presumably, Depew uses VELVET in this poem to substitute for Purple. Purple Betony flowers in mid summer from July to September, and is found in dry grassland, meadows and open woods in most of Europe, western Asia and North Africa.

An Italian proverb advices that you should "Sell your coat and buy Betony." While a Spanish compliment states, "He has as many virtues as Betony."
