Viridis
/VIR-ih-dis/🏷️ Taxonomy●● Intermediate
Also known as: viride
A color epithet applied when a plant's green color is particularly notable — typically in flowers or berries that are green when other species in the genus are colored. Also used to distinguish green-fruited or green-flowered forms from colored variants.
Etymology
From Latin viridis, meaning "green" or "fresh," from virere (to be green, to flourish).
Example
“Helleborus viridis (green hellebore) is named for its unusual, entirely green flowers rather than the pink or white typical of the genus.”
