Wet-the-bed, correctly, is the dandelion. From wikipedia:

The name dandelion is a derivation of the Old French, dent-de-lion, literally
"lion's tooth" on account of the sharply lobed leaves of the plant. In modern
French the plant is called ****enlit, "urinate in bed", referring to its
diuretic properties. Likewise, "****abeds" is an English folkname for this
plant, "piscialletto" in Italian and "meacamas" In Spanish (otherwise known as
"diente de león", lion's tooth).
