Maudlinwort is a type of herbaceous plant with small white flowers, which is commonly found in Europe and North America. The word is spelled mawd-lin-wort, with the first syllable pronounced as in "maudlin" (ˈmɔːdlɪn), meaning overemotional or tearful. The second syllable is pronounced with a long "i" sound (lin), as in "line" (laɪn), and the final syllable is pronounced as "wort" (wɔːrt), the same as in "St John's wort". Maudlinwort is also known as Adder's Mouth and Sheep's Cress.
