Talk:Primula sect. Dodecatheon

Dodecatheon, the name

An explanation of why the genus seems to have been named after the Greek gods would be much appreciated by me, at least, and, I suspect, by other readers as well. Anybody know? --Randall Owens | (talk) 03:53, 9 August 2007 (UTC)

Lake Forest College says:

"This most likely refers to the belief that primroses (family Primulaceae) were under the care of the twelve superior gods of Olympus. The shooting star was named “Dodecatheon” by Linnaeus, perhaps because of the unusual form, elegance, and color of the flower."

Unsourced though, so I'd hesitate to add it to Wikipedia. More research needed. --Heron (talk) 14:45, 11 March 2023 (UTC)
