The plural form of eremurus; multiple plants of the eremurus genus, which are tall desert flowers.
This is the regular Latin plural of 'eremurus.' The singular form comes from Greek roots 'eremo-' (desert) plus perhaps a suffix relating to tail or plant structure.
Desert lilies like eremurus can grow 4-9 feet tall with spikes of hundreds of small flowers, yet they spend most of the year underground as bulbs—they're essentially hibernating between the rare rainy seasons that trigger their explosive blooming.
