Historical Definition
Daura is hellebore.
Meaning
The gloss identifies the name by hellebore without describing a particular variety. It provides no part of the plant, preparation or purpose. Those omissions should remain open when the name appears without further context.
Use in the Book
Hellebria is more specific within the dictionary: it names a kind of black hellebore bearing red flowers. Mandella identifies the seed of black hellebore. These entries show that a plant, a kind of that plant and its seed receive distinct labels. Daura should not automatically inherit every qualification from the other two.
Places to Read
Hellebria. Black hellebore distinguished by red flowers.
Mandella. A name for the seed rather than the whole plant.
