A differing suggestion is that it derives from the Greek laimos, meaning throat, which refers to the flowers supposedly having a throat-like appearance. Specific epithet: Two suggestions are usually made. The first is that it may come from the Greek galeē meaning weasel and the Greek bdolos meaning smell, which might refer to the odor of the plant. The second suggestion is that it may come from the Latin galea meaning helmet and bdolon, thus referencing a plant with a hooded flower with a smell. Common name origin: From the color of the flowers and archangel comes from the hooded appearance of the flowers.
