    		PROPRIETORY, PROTEROTYPE, RUPTUREWORT, PITUITOTROPE, UROPYOURETER.

    Okay as there is definitely a problem with that one, I will forget PROPRIETORY and just go with Herniaria glabra L. and H. hirsuta L. (Fam. Caryophyllaceae) commonly known as the RUPTUREWORT.

    		OED acknowledges Proprietory (albeit with a reference to Proprietary for all three definitions). UK citations too.

    Peasy wasn't around when #27831 appeared but had she had been there she would have posted "UROPYOURETER" meaning 'a collection of urine and pus in the ureter.'
