| 词汇 | bignonia |
| 词源 | bignonia. A widely distributed woody flowering vine, the big- nonia is sometimes confused with the begonia, and the names of the men that the two plants honor are often confused as well. The species are not related, and Abbé Jean-Paul Bignon, court librarian to Louis XIV, did not discover the beautiful bignonia vine bearing his name. The bignonia was named by the French botanist Tournefort about 1700 in honor of the abbé, who had never ventured from Europe. |
