Doralium

/dɔːˈreɪliəm/ noun

Definition

A plant genus or botanical term, possibly an obsolete or regional name for a plant species.

Etymology

From Latin or Greek roots, possibly related to 'doral' or containing the Latin suffix '-ium' often used in scientific naming of plants and minerals.

Kelly Says

Doralium is a reminder that old botanical names often vanish from use as science updates classifications—but discovering an old name in a text is like finding a fossil of how people understood plants centuries ago.
