Origin: A borrowing from Latin. Etymon: Latin ophioglosson.

Etymology: < post-classical Latin ophioglosson (1536 in Paracelsus, in a list of plants for use in medical remedies) < Hellenistic Greek ὀϕιο- ophio- comb. form + ancient Greek γλῶσσα tongue (see gloss n.¹), with allusion to the shape of the fertile blade. Compare French †ophioglossum (1694), ophioglosse (1762).

Botany.

A genus of small primitive ferns of the family Ophioglossaceae, consisting of an undivided sterile blade at the base of which arises a long-stalked narrow fertile blade bearing two rows of sporangia; (also ophioglossum) a fern of this genus, an adder's tongue.Valid publication of the genus name: Linnaeus Species Plantarum (1753) II. 1062, after earlier use by C. Bauhin ( Pinax (1671) 354).
