SATYRION, or Lizard-flower, Satyrium hircinum, L. a native perennial plant, growing in chalky meadows and pastures; flowering in the months of June and July.—Its leaves are very large, and the whole plant has a rank, disagreeable odour: nevertheless, it is eagerly eaten by cattle, and is said, in a remarkable degree, to increase the milk of cows.
