Bird's Eye
the eye or eyes of a bird. In botany, the name of several plants with small, bright, usually blue, flowers. (1) A widely diffused name for veronica chamædrys. (2) A name for a plant, called more fully the birdseye primrose. It is the primula farinosa. It has pale lilac flowers with a yellow eye.
The whole plant is powdered with a substance smelling like musk. It grows in the milder temperate climates of Europe.
The American flower bearing the same common name is of a different species, being called by botanists primula pusilla. (3) A name sometimes given to the adonis autumnalis, and, indeed, to the whole genus adonis, more commonly designated "pheasant's eye."
