Definition
A plant that requires specific conditions related to flute-like or tube-shaped structures, or a plant adapted to grow near areas where wind instruments were played in ancient contexts.
Etymology
From Greek aulos (pipe/tube) + phyton (plant). This is a botanical term created by combining the Greek word for a tubular wind instrument with the suffix for plant species, likely referring to plants with tubular flowers.
Kelly Says
This is a wonderfully obscure botanical term that shows how scientists sometimes borrowed from archaeology and music history to name plants—probably referring to species with long, hollow tubular flowers that resemble the aulos.
