LI’VERWORT. n. s. [liver and wort.]A plant. That sort of liverwort which is used to cure the bite of mad dogs, grows on commons, and open heaths, where the grass is shot, on declivities, and on the sides of pits. This spreads on the surface of the ground, and, when in perfec tion, is of an ash colour; but, as it grows old, it alters, and becomes of a dark colour. Miller.
