Samuel Johnson's Dictionary
Grass of Parnassusnoun
It hath a rose-shaped flower of five large leaves, and five small at the bottom fringed, of a greenish colour, and planted orbicularly: out of the flower-cup arises the pointal, which turns to an oval membranaceous fruit, having but one cell filled with seeds. This plant grows wild in most meadows, particularly in the North. It is called parnassia from mount Parnassus, where it was supposed to grow; and because the cattle feed on it, it obtained the name of grass, though the plant has no resemblance to the grass kind. Philip Miller
Etymology: parnassia, Latin.
