Latin?

"Selinea" is a plant as sweet-scented as angelica. Is it Latin because it cannot be found in English dictionary.

Context:
With a profusion of innate virtues I was endowed;

Augmented them with many cultivated talents.

Clad myself in selinea and shady angelica,

I wove together autumn orchids for girdle pendants.

Googling 'Selinea', as you know, produces nothing regarding LiSao's flower. Selinia aurea is a yellow flower of the mustard family. You can see it by googling images of 'Selinia', but I was unable to find further information, Jobb.

  • There is also a mushroom, Selinia africana and Selinia pulchra but I think that is less likely.
