cyclamen
''Cyclamen'' ( or )〔(cyclamen (noun) ). Oxford Advanced Learner's Dictionary. Oxford University Press. 2014.〕 is a genus of 23 species of perennial flowering plants in the family Primulaceae. Cyclamen species are native to Europe and the Mediterranean Basin east to Iran, with one species in Somalia. They grow from tubers and are valued for their flowers with upswept petals and variably patterned leaves.
It was traditionally classified in the family Primulaceae, was reclassified in the family Myrsinaceae in 2000, and finally, in 2009 with the introduction of the APG III system, was returned to the subfamily Myrsinoideae within the family Primulaceae.
==Names==
''Cyclamen'' is Medieval Latin, from earlier Latin ''cyclamīnos'', from Ancient Greek κυκλάμινος, (unicode:''kyklā́mīnos'' (also ''kyklāmī́s'')), probably from κύκλος, ''kýklos'' "circle",〔, 〕 because of the round tuber. In English, the species of the genus are commonly called by the genus name.
In many languages, cyclamen species are colloquially called by a name like the English sowbread, because they are said to be eaten by pigs: ''pain de pourceau'' in French, ''pan porcino'' in Italian, ''varkensbrood'' in Dutch, "pigs' manjū" in Japanese.
