G
Cotula
NE
{"type":"FeatureCollection","features":[]}
Short etymology:
Probably Gk. kotule = a little cup or hollow-shaped receptacle; referring to the shape of the involucre or of the flower head. Another source says ‘or the concave base of the stem clasping leaves’.
G
Erica
NE
{"type":"FeatureCollection","features":[]}
Short etymology:
Gk. ereike = to break. The name used for a heath by Theophrastus (372–287 BCE) and Pliny the Elder. The stems are brittle and break easily (Lindsay); or possibly but less likely because of the ability of the plant to break up bladder stones (Paxton’s Botanical Dictionary).
G
Oxalis
NE
20
{"type":"FeatureCollection","features":[]}
Short etymology:
From the Greek oxys = sharp, sour or acid and (h)als = salt. The plant is frequently consumed for its sour taste caused by the oxalic acid, particularly the flowering stalks of O. pes-caprae. In large quantities the oxalic acid inhibits digestion and in stock leads to the condition 'dikpens' or bloated belly.
