BOTTOMY

Volume 4 · 49 words · 1810 Edition

A cross bottomy, in Heraldry, terminates... Bottrigaro, nates at each end in three buds, knots, or buttons, resembling, in some measure, the three-leaved gras; on which account Segoing, in his *Tresor Héraldique*, terms it *croix treffle*. It is the badge of the order of St Maurice. See *Heraldry Plates*.
