Move
I'm thinking this page should be moved to Fritillaria and Fritillary should be about the class of Butterflies (Brush-footed butterfly) or at least a disambiguation. --Chinasaur 10:16, 10 Aug 2004 (UTC)
- Webster 1913 dictionary says that the "Argynnis and allied genera" of butterflies are "so called because the coloring of their wings resembles that of the common Fritillaria". I think a disambiguation note at the top will be sufficient. --Joy [shallot] 14:04, 11 Aug 2004 (UTC)
- Huh, I had no idea; probably be nice to add that tidbit into the butterfly article. I still think the term is more common referring to the butterflies nowadays, but I don't know for sure and this solution is okay with me. Thanks! --Chinasaur 16:44, 11 Aug 2004 (UTC)
- If it makes you feel better, mariposa lillies, from the genus Calochortus, a close relative of Fritillaria, were named after mariposa, the Spanish word for butterfly.
