Columbine f
English: from Italian Colombitia, a diminutive of Colombo ‘dove’. In the tradition of the commedia dell'arte this is the name of Harlequin's sweetheart. The modern name, however, was probably coined independently as one of the class of names taken in the igth century from flowers. The columbine gets its name from the fact that its petals are supposed to resemble five doves clustered together.
