英语词汇shortia的起源、历史背景-英语词源词典

Shortia. Shortia is definitely a “low-growing” genus of ever- green herbs, comprising only two species, but that is not the reason for its name. The genus honors Dr. Charles W. Short (1794–1863), a Kentucky botanist. Native to the mountains of the Carolinas and Japan, the flowers are well adapted for use in a rock garden. The American species is sometimes advertised as Oconee Bells and the Japanese, Nippon Bells. The plants have beautiful white bell- or heart-shaped flowers, solitary and nodding on long stalks. They are more often called Shortia, or coltsfoot, than by their “Bell” names.
