Poteriumn.

Brit.

/pəʊˈtɪərɪəm/, U.S.

/poʊˈtɪriəm/

Forms: 1500s–1700s Poterion, 1600s– Poterium.

Origin: A borrowing from Latin. Etymon: Latin *poterion.

Etymology: < classical Latin *poterion, a former editorial reading (now rejected) for potireton in the manuscript (Pliny Nat. Hist. 25. 123, 27. 122), for which the preferred editorial reading is now *potirion for *potirrion (compare post-classical Latin potireon, 6th cent. in a translation of Dioscorides, after Hellenistic Greek ποτίρρεον, variant in one manuscript), name of a shrub, perhaps goat's thorn < Hellenistic Greek ποτίρριον (Dioscorides 3. 15. 1, with variant reading ποτήριον: see note below).The former editorial reading classical Latin poterion followed the Hellenistic Greek variant ποτήριον (which may have been influenced by ancient Greek ποτήριον drinking-cup, wine-cup; > classical Latin potērium).

Botany. Now rare.

Originally: a spiny Mediterranean shrub, probably either a goat's thorn ( Astragalus species) or Sarcopoterium spinosum (family Rosaceae). In later use (in form Poterium): a genus of plants of the family Rosaceae, comprising the burnets and certain related plants, including Sarcopoterium spinosum.Valid publication of the genus name: Linnaeus Species Plantarum (1753) II. 994.The plants of the genus Poterium are now usually assigned to other genera, chiefly to Sanguisorba.
