Definition
The scientific genus name for heliotrope plants, a group of ornamental flowering plants known for their fragrant flowers and sun-tracking behavior.
Etymology
From Greek 'helios' (sun) and 'tropos' (turning), directly translating to 'sun-turner.' This Linnaean genus name was assigned in the 18th century based on observable plant behavior.
Kelly Says
Heliotropium is the fancy scientific name for those fragrant purple flowers your grandmother might have grown—and the name is basically a perfect description of what the plant does all day long.
