Definition
A variant or alternative spelling of alyssum; a small flowering plant with tiny clustered blossoms, often white or purple.
Etymology
From Greek 'alysson,' derived from 'a-' (without) and 'lyssa' (madness or hydrophobia). The plant was believed to cure madness, hence its Greek name.
Kelly Says
This plant's name literally means 'cures madness' in Greek—it didn't actually cure madness, but ancient people found it so pretty they believed it healed mental illness just by looking at it!
