TURBAN. A school-girl at Kast Mark gives me 
this as a local name for the Tulip. Ii she is 
correct, it is very interesting, as our dictionaries

and Turkish to the Persian dulband—a turban, 
and state. that the Tulip is so named because the 
gay colours and the form of its flower suggest 
those of some turbans. Gerarde says: “ After 
it hath beene some fewe days flowred the points 
and brims of the flower turne backward, lk: a 
Dalmatian or Turkes cap, calied Tulipan, 
Tolipan, Turban, and Turfan, whereof it took 
his name.” Herbali, p. 117.
