pansway

See panchway. pansy pensive.] A favorite species of violet, Viola tricolor; the heart's-ease. The wild plant is extremely variable, becoming in the variety arvensis, or field-pansy, an inconspicuous annual field-weed; in others it is more showy. The innumerable garden varieties, with large richly and variously colored flowers, have been developed by long culture and by hybridizing with various perennial species. The pansy is an officinal herb, the root being cathartic and emetic. ing my face, IMG:content-2240.jpg:[blocks in formation] Even here with a pantacle I wyll you disgrace. Old Plays, i. 215.
