A historical term for a type of plant, possibly a succulent or coastal plant; an archaic or regional botanical name.
Compound of 'ding' (possibly an old adjective) and 'thrift' (a plant known for frugal growth). This appears to be obsolete botanical vocabulary from pre-modern herbals.
Old plant names like 'dingthrift' are nearly lost to history—they reveal that common plants had dozens of regional names before standardized Linnaean classification came along.
