The (edited) definition follows. Aegilops (from Greek "herb eaten by goats" + "eye, face"): 1. (Medical). An ulcer or fistula in the inner angle of the eye. 2. (Obsolete). The wild-oat or other grass found as a corn-weed. 3. (Botanical). A genus of grasses, native to the south of Europe. 4. A species of Oak.
