Etymology of cerasiformis
[edit]- The authors, Brooker and Blaxell gave "derived from 'cerasus' (Latin:cherry) in allusion to the 'bunch of cherries' appearance of the pendent inflorescences."[1]
- Euclid gives "Latin cerasi-, of cherries and -formis form, referring to the pendulous clusters of flower buds."[2]
- Sharr has "cerasiformis: L cerasus a cherry + -formis -shaped (refers to the clusters of fruit: Eucalyptus)"[3]
