chelone

Although several more species were found in the 18th century, they continued to be classified in Chelone until about the 1820s.

Certain parts of the myth tell that Chelone was taking too long to be ready for the feast, which caused Zeus to become angry.

The word Chelonian comes from the Greek Chelone, a tortoise god.

Very likely the plant you saw is Chelone obliqua, which has graceful, rosy purple flowers that bloom in late summer and linger through fall.

At the marriage of Zeus and Hera, a nymph named Chelone refused to attend.

The closest relatives of Chelone are Chionophila and Nothochelone from western North America.

The name aspidochelone appears to be a compound word combining Greek aspis (which means either "asp" or "shield"), and chelone, the turtle.

Everyone invited by Mercurius [Hermes] came, except for Chelone who did not deign to be there, mocking the wedding.

The Greek term for this formation is "chelone" and during the Byzantine era, it seems to have evolved to what military manuals of the era call the "foulkon".

Miller played with his agent, Lowell Taub, the Loon Mountain ski coach, Richard Newby, and Chelone, who is recovering from a serious auto accident last October.

The etymology of the specific epithet chelonopsis, from the Greek chelone for "tortoise" and opsis for "lookalike", is in reference to tortoise beetles, the common name of the group.

Several members of Miller's family have been charged with possession of marijuana, including his brother Chelone, a talented snowboarder who sustained a near-fatal head injury in a motorcycle accident just before the 2005-6 season.

Before teeing off, Miller joked with his mother, Jo, his sisters Kyla and Wren, and his brother, Chelone, while Kyla's almost 1-year old son nestled in Miller's lap.

When Mercurius noticed her absence, he went back down to the earth, threw in the river the house of Chelone that was standing over the river and changed Chelone in an animal that would bear her name.

Although Chelone's transformation was not mentioned in sources other than Servius, what is clearly a version of the same myth is found in Aesop's Fables, where the main character is a tortoise to begin with, but does not initially have a shell:

The main source for the myth of Chelone is Servius's commentary on Virgil's Aeneid, where Chelone is a nymph transformed by Hermes for refusing to attend the wedding of Hera and Zeus.

Obviously, you could never get this effect in a small space, but you could capture a piece of it, like growing the 12-foot joe-pye weed, Eupatorium maculatum Gateway, next to that old-timer chelone, also known as hot lips because of the pinky-red flowers that run up its sturdy stalks.
