英语词汇lycoris的起源、历史背景-英语词源词典

Lycoris. Mark Antony is mainly remembered for his fatal ro- mantic entanglement with Cleopatra, and it is often forgotten that he led a riotous life while a youth, having had four wives— Fadia, Antonia, Fulvia, and Octavia—before he committed sui- cide for his Egyptian queen. One of his outside interests was Lycoris, a Roman actress who became his mistress. Centuries later the English botanist Herbert named the six lovely fragrant flowers of the Lycoris genus after this beautiful woman. The amaryllis-like Lycoris grow from a bulb and are lilac-pink or pink, the flower cluster a loose umbel. Native to China, Japan, and central Asia, they are generally grown in greenhouses in the United States and England.
