- Mine; that which is mine.
- n. A genus of umbelliferous plants of the tribe Seselineæ and the subtribe Selineæ. It is characterized by an oblong fruit, with the ribs very much raised and partially winged, by having no oil-tubes, and by the face of the seed being concave or furrowed. There is but a single species, M. athamanticum, which grows in the mountainous parts of central and western Europe. It is a smooth herb, known as spignel or bald money, also as mew, micken, and beawort, and bears a tuft of radical leaves, the segments of which are deeply cut into numerous very fine but short lobes, so that they have the appearance of being whorled or clustered along the stalk. The flowers are white or purplish, and grow in compound umbels.
