Definition of quamoclit in English:

quamoclit

noun ˈkwaməklɪt

Later also: (frequently with distinguishing word) any of various plants constituting the former genus Quamoclit; (also in form Quamoclit) the former genus itself.

Mid 17th century; earliest use found in Thomas Johnson (d. 1644), apothecary and soldier.
