Etymology of FAMILY HALORAGACEAE
The word "Haloragaceae" comes from the scientific family name of plants known as the Haloragaceae. The term "Haloragaceae" itself is derived from combining the Greek word "halos", meaning "salt", and "raga", meaning "crack" or "fissure". This name was selected because some plants of this family are found in saline or brackish habitats or have small fissures on their leaves. Thus, the scientific name "Haloragaceae" refers to the unique characteristics or ecology of this family of plants.
