Meaning Of Gossypium
n.
A genus of plants which yield the cotton of the arts.
The species are much confused. G. herbaceum is the name given to the
common cotton plant, while the long-stapled sea-island cotton is
produced by G. Barbadense, a shrubby variety. There are several other
kinds besides these.
