Appearance
''Cyclamen hederifolium'' is a tuberous perennial that blooms and sprouts leaves in autumn, grows through the winter, and goes dormant before summer, when the seed pods ripen and open.
Naming
The word "cyclamen" comes through Latin from the Greek ''cyclamīnos'' or ''-on'', ''κυκλάμινος'' meaning "circle", with reference to the shape of the tuber. The species name ''hederifolium'' comes from the Latin ''hedera'' and ''folium'' , because of the shape and patterning of the leaves. The older species name, ''neapolitanum'', refers to Naples, where the species grows.References:
