	* Squill - (Plants): Definition
		The horticulturists' squill is any plant of the genus Scilla, mostly spring-blooming low herbs with commonly deep blue but also white, rose, or purplish flowers borne along a leafless stem; the leaves are usually narrow.
		Squill is mentioned as a medic inal plant by Theophrastus in 300 B.C.E. & it was used by the Greek physician Epimenides, for which reason squill has also been known as Epimenidea.
		Striped Squill is another of the lesser-known minor bulbs that naturalizes over time (that is, it expands its area of coverage by producing bulb offsets from the original bulbs, as well as self-sowing).
