Gnomonia

Gnomonia
  Gk gnomon, pointer, as of rod at centre of a sundial. An allusion to fescue which in English may refer either to a grass or to a sundial. The connection between the two arises from the usage in Latin of festuca for both straw and the rod by which slaves were touched during the ceremony of manumission. The double meaning of festuca enabled the author to hint obliquely that the new genus incorporated species previously included in Festuca
