Agrestis
/a-GRES-tis/🏷️ Taxonomy●● Intermediate
Also known as: agreste
A habitat epithet placing a plant in open, uncultivated country: fields, rough grassland, waysides and the countryside generally, rather than a garden or a wood. The Latin carries a second sense of wild or rustic, and in plant names both readings usually apply at once. Compare arvensis, which points more specifically at arable ground. Appears as agrestis (both genders).
Etymology
From Latin agrestis, "pertaining to fields, land or the country, rural, rustic, wild".
