Anatolicus

Anatolicus is a geographical epithet meaning "of Anatolia" — the broad peninsula of western Asia that makes up most of modern Turkey, and which the ancient world called Asia Minor. The ending -icus is the usual way botanical Latin turns a place name into a specific epithet, so the word records where the plant grows wild or where it was first described. For a gardener it doubles as a hint about conditions: much of Anatolia is high inland country with hot dry summers and cold winters, so plants from there tend to want sun and sharp drainage rather than rich, damp soil.
