Which species of flowering plant is named after a Greek philosopher, Mutisia or Aristotelia?
Aristotelia (plant) Aristotelia is a genus with 18 species, of tree in the family Elaeocarpaceae. It is named in honor of the Greek philosopher Aristoteles.
Thalia (nymph) In Greek mythology, Thalia (Greek: Θάλεια "Tháleia" or Θάλια "Thália", "the Joyous, the Flourishing", from θάλλειν / thállein, "to flourish, to be green") is a nymph, the child of Hephaestus. She is also given as an anthropomorphic secondary deity of plant life and shoots, possibly as the culmination of the transmission of knowledge on volcanic ash's use as a fertiliser, characteristic of ancient viticulture in volcanic soils such as those of the island of Santorini.
