Remarks | 'grenadier', i.e., a spiny tree with red flowers producing the grenade fruit (thick skinned, several celled reddish berry) from Middle French 'pomegrenate' from Latin 'granata', 'granatus', i.e., seedy, from 'granum', i.e., grain (Ref. 27888); 'berglax', i.e., from the Latin specific name which is possibly a composite with suffix from Greek 'glax', i.e., an owl referring to its glaring eyes (Ref. 27838). |
