Aaron's Rod, the popular name given to various tall flowering
plants (``hag taper,', ``golden rod,'' &c.). In architecture
the term is given to an ornamental rod with sprouting leaves,
or sometimes with a serpent entwined round it (from the
Biblical references in Exodus vii. 10 and Numbers xvii. 8).
