• Sweet mock-orange — A regional or popular phonetic variant for lămâiță; a term used in certain dialects to denote the ornamental shrub called sweet mock-orange (Philadelphus coronarius), whose white flowers have an intense scent reminiscent of citrus fruits, or the aromatic medicinal plant known as lemon balm (Melissa officinalis). In Transylvanian villages, its dried leaves and flowers were used both for scenting bed linens and as a phytotherapeutic remedy against migraines.
