Today's word(s)

fraxinella \frak-suh-NEL-uh\ - a Eurasian perennial herb (Dictamnus albus) of the rue family with flowers that emit an aromatic flammable vapor in hot weather
Wikipedia shows it capitalized. Both Fraxinella and Dictamnus are new to me, and aside from making sure that I don't ever inadvertently start a fire, I can't imagine why I'd care about it beyond mere curiosity.
