Centranth

/ˈsenθrænθ/ noun

Definition

An archaic or rare term; possibly related to centranthos or plants of the Centranthus genus.

Etymology

Uncertain etymology; possibly from Greek kentron (center) combined with anthos (flower), though this may be a variant or misspelling of centranthus.

Kelly Says

This word is so obscure that even comprehensive dictionaries struggle to confirm its meaning—it might be a historical botanical term that fell out of use as scientific nomenclature standardized.
