The message
from Chris Hogg contains these words:

I've come across this phrase recently, referring to a hedgerow plant.
But I can't find any reference to it, either in my wild flower books
or on Google. Old man's beard, yes, but not oatmeal. Has anyone come
across it,

No.

This would have been my shortest-ever usenet post if I hadn't just
told you it was. IYSWIM.

Irritatingly, I found it on a Wicca site which called it Old Man's Oatmeal
but didn't given the Latin name or any description!
