Chaplet: when not otherwise described, a garland of leaves with four flowers 
amongst them, at equal distances. It is to be distinguished from the wreath, 
and though usually composed of leaves will be found blazoned of various 
tinctures.
  It is more usual, however, to designate the material of which the chaplet is composed. It may be of roses (and this, perhaps, is the most frequent) or of flowers generally, or it may be of leaves, and often of laurel leaves. In the latter case it is termed a "crown triumphal."
  Rarer instances occur of chaplets of holly, or of hazel, or of brambles, while the single instance of the "chaplet of rue" is a name sometimes given to the "crown of rue" which occurs in the arms given by Frederick of Barbarossa to the Duke of Saxony.
  When the material is oak the device is often blazoned as a "wreath," and there is especially a "wreath of oak acorned" which bears the name of the "civic wreath," or the "civic crown." It is supposed to represent the Roman crown conferred upon public benefactors, especially upon those who had saved the life of a citizen. The leaves should be represented tied together by a ribbon. The "ducal coronet" had originally oak leaves, but strawberry-leaves have been substituted.
  The "crown obsidional" is also mentioned in old works on heraldry, which is a chaplet graminy, i.e. composed of twisted grass, and is fancifully said to have been bestowed upon any general who had held a city against a besieging force.
  The term "garland" as well as "wreath," is used sometimes instead of "chaplet."
