Possible definitions for zacynthus
acanthus
Any of the plants that make up the family Acanthaceae, of the figwort order, found mostly in tropical and subtropical regions. Most are herbaceous plants or shrubs; some are climbers (vines) or trees. Most grow in damp tropical forests. Acanthus have simple leaves arranged in opposite pairs on the twigs, enlarged cells called cystoliths in streaks or protuberances in the vegetative parts, and bilaterally symmetrical, bisexual flowers usually crowded together in clusters and individually enclosed by leaflike bracts, often colored and large. They are mainly of horticultural interest and include some ornamentals.
