A clan badge , sometimes called a plant badge , is a badge or symbol (usually a small branch of a specific plant) that is used to identify a clan member of a particular Scottish clan . They are usually worn on a beret-like cap behind the respective coat of arms , or attached to the shoulder of a woman's tartan sash. According to a popular tradition, clan badges were used to identify clan members during a battle. For example, small sprigs of oat were used as a recognition by General Montrose's troops during the sack of Aberdeen . The Jacobites used, for example, "White Cockade " (Engl .: "White Cockade").

"The assumption of the badge of the cumin plant for the supposed clan, a plant that is only found in the region of Egypt, but which happens to be named in the Old Testament, is scarcely correct. It is rather the common sallow, a species of willow, that the Cummings have adopted as their clan badge. "
