lepidium
- /ləˈpɪ.di.əm/ US
Where it comes from
Borrowed from translingual Lepidium, from Latin lepidium and Ancient Greek λεπίδιον (lepídion, literally “little scale”), diminutive of λεπίς (lepís, “scale, flake”).
noun lepidiums
- Any cruciferous plant of the genus Lepidium, often called garden cresses or pepperworts. Danziger’s new Green Dragon, a delicate and airy Lepidium, is a unique green filler for flower arrangements that blends harmoniously in any centerpiece or bouquet. Green Dragon has a heavier stem than other lepidiums, which won’t tangle with each other, ultimately decreasing breakage.
