Definition: The term "amyrrhillum" or "amyrrhilla" in the King James Version (KJV) refers to a type of plant known as an amaryllid. These plants are also known by other names such as 'amaryllis,' 'amaryllida,' or 'amyrrhillum.' The word is derived from Latin and means "amethyst," which stands for "amethyst." The term has been translated into English to mean a type of plant that has the color green, but with a vibrant, golden hue, resembling amethyst. This name was chosen due to its beauty and naturalistic appearance. Amaryllid flowers typically are white or pale violet in color, but can also be colored with purple or scarlet petals, making them unique and recognizable for their striking beauty. They have a fragrant scent and are often used in perfumes and scents. The term "amyrrhillum" comes from the Greek word "amyra," which means "colorless white." This name was chosen to emphasize the colorfulness of the plant's flowers, which are typically yellowish-white or pale pink. Amaryllids are often considered a type of amethyst as their blooms and colors align closely with those of the amethyst. In addition to being used for their beauty and fragrance, amaryllid plants also have medicinal properties due to their high content of compounds like anthocyanins, which help improve circulation, reduce inflammation, and promote overall health.
