These also are often quite pretty. Luzula, Veronica (with its pretty legend), Mimulus (the little monkey), Circæa (Enchanter's Nightshade), Senecio (_the old man_, from its woolly head of fruits), Nymphea, Naias, Carlina (_the old witch_), and so on, are quite as pretty and as nice as Mugwort, Devil-in-a-bush, Hairy Rock Cress, and the rest. One curious result of the use of popular names is seen in the Biblical names of plants. The Rose of Sharon seems most probably to have been _Narcissus Tarzetta_, and not a rose at all. As regards the lilies of the Field, Mr. Ridley has the following remarks. The Hebrew word _Shushan_ was a generic name given to a mixture of flowers, exactly as we now talk of ferns, herbs, or grass. The Sermon on the Mount was preached near the plain of Gennesaret, and there flourish the Anemone (_Anemone coronaria_), _Ranunculus asiaticus_, and _Adonis aestivalis_ and _flammea_, which are exactly of the same colour and follow each other in close succession. This word _Shushan_ is the original of the Christian name Susannah or Susan. The Arabic name for _Anemone coronaria_ is Susan.
