heliotrope
Fragrant purple bloom
Heliotrope is a plant with small, fragrant purple flowers that turn to follow the sun—the name comes from Greek words meaning sun-turning.
The color heliotrope is a pinkish purple matching the flowers: a heliotrope silk scarf.
In surveying, a heliotrope is an instrument that uses a mirror to reflect sunlight as a signal over long distances.
