Sun-dew. The general name for Droset'a rotundifolia, L., and other 
species. — ‘ This herbe is of a very strange nature and maruellous : for 
although that the Sunne doe shine hot, and a long time thereon, yet 
you shall finde it alwaies moist and be- dewed, and the small haires 
thereof alwaies full of litle drops of water : and the hotter the Sun 
shineth upon this herbe, so much the moystier it is, and the more 
be-dewed, and for that cause it was called Eos Solis in Latine, which 
is to say in English, the dewe of the Sun, or Sundewe.’ Lyte. We 
agree however with Dr. Prior (p. 226) that ‘ the Germ, name, sindau, 
leads us to suspect that the proper meaning of the word was ‘ ever- 
dewy,’ from A.S., O.S., and Fris. sin, ever, rather than from sun. 
We find siti as a prefix with this meaning in Singreenj and in another 
form of the word, Syndaw, applied to Alcliemilla vulgaris, L. In this 
latter case there is no reference to the sun, but the name is ‘ from the 
Germane name Sinnaw, because the hollow crumplings and the edges 
also of the leaves, will containe the dew in droppes like pearles, that 
falleth in the night.’ Park. Theatr. 538.
