Definition
The plant family that includes enchanter's nightshade (Circaea) and related genera, characterized by small flowers and hooked fruits.
Etymology
From Circaea (named after the mythological enchantress Circe) plus the Latin suffix -aceae, used in scientific nomenclature to denote plant families. Established during the development of modern plant taxonomy in the 19th century.
Kelly Says
Scientific naming systems create a hidden poetry—Circaeaceae literally means 'the family of plants named after the witch Circe,' and when botanists opened up this family, they found plants with the most ingenious seed-dispersal hooks, like nature's own magic spell.
