a twining or climbing plant with bell-shaped flowers, another regional or dialectal name for bindweed species.
From 'bell' plus 'bine' (a climbing or twining stem of hops or ivy). This combination creates yet another folk name for bell-shaped flowering climbers.
The fact that we have 'bellbind,' 'bellbinder,' and 'bellbine' for similar plants shows how regional English created rich, specific vocabularies for nature before standardization. Every locale named plants its own way!
