• Wild herb — A rare regional masculine noun used in certain western communities to designate a species of herbaceous plant from the spontaneous flora or a local phonetic variant attributed to some field weeds. In old botanical glossaries, the term describes a plant with a thin stem and lanceolate leaves, sometimes used in rural empirical medicine to obtain soothing or healing infusions for the skin.
