Derivation of the botanical name:
Lamium, old Latin name of a nettle-like plant mentioned by Pliny, said by some to be based on the Greek laimos (the throat or gullet).
amplexicaule, amplector, to wind around, surround; caulis, καυλοϛ, stem of a plant; stems clasped.
- The standard author abbreviation L. is used to indicate Carl Linnaeus (1707 – 1778), a Swedish botanist, physician, and zoologist, the father of modern taxonomy.
