\Cyc"la*men\ (s?k"l?-m?n), n. [NL., fr. Gr.
kykla`minos, kyklami`s.] (Bot.)
A genus of plants of the Primrose family, having depressed
rounded corms, and pretty nodding flowers with the petals so
reflexed as to point upwards, whence it is called {rabbits'
ears}. It is also called {sow bread}, because hogs are said
to eat the corms.
