Science - Botany
English term or phrase: sheep's bit
Yarrow, thrift, vetch, sea campion, bird’s foot trefoil, ***sheep’s bit***, wild angelica and a variety of ferns and grasses, are amongst the plant species that have eked out a precarious existence on the cliff top.

Ich kann es nirgends finden, habe jedoch auch kein Spezialwörterbuch - kann jemand helfen?

Vielen Dank!
