For example, the common red poppy is known as ""Blind Man"" due to an old superstitious belief that if the poppy were put to the eyes it would cause blindness. Many plant names derived from superstition, folk lore, or primal beliefs. Other names are purely descriptive and can serve to explain the meaning of the botanical name. For example, Beauty-Berry is the name given to the American shrub that belongs to the genus Callicarpa. Callicarpa is Greek for beautiful fruit. 606 $aMateria medica, Vegetable$vDictionaries 606 $aPlant names, Popular$vDictionaries 606 $aPlants$vFolklore$vDictionaries 606 $aPlants$vNomenclature$vDictionaries 615 0$aMateria medica, Vegetable 615 0$aPlant names, Popular 615 0$aPlants 615 0$aPlants 676 $a580 676 $a580.14 700 $aWatts$b Donald$f1922-2004.$01502188 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910784659803321 996 $aDictionary of plant lore$93729798 997 $aUNINA
