n.植桂足香;桂香香水¹⁰⁰;壁花社交场合因羞涩而受人冷落之人
Noun:
any of numerous plants of the genus Erysimum having fragrant yellow or orange or brownish flowersperennial of southern Europe having clusters of fragrant flowers of all colors especially yellow and orange; often naturalized on old walls or cliffs; sometimes placed in genus Erysimumremains on sidelines at social event这是一种庭园植物，花的颜色有黄色、红色等，香味馥郁，形容雅致。此花之所以得名wallflower，是因为它生长在墙缝间，汉语作“桂竹香”，亦可译为“墙头花”。
在英国牧师、诗人赫里克Robert Herrick, 1591-1674的抒情诗中有这样一则传奇爱情故事：一位美丽的少女因遭长期监禁，试图翻越高墙逃走，去和情人相见，不慎滑跌下来，香消玉殒。爱神怜其不幸，将她变成“墙上花”flower of the wall，诗人认为wallflower一词即源于此。
今天，该词除了指墙头花之外，还常用于喻义。社交聚会中因害羞或不受欢迎而独坐一旁的人，特别是因无人邀请跳舞而干坐一旁的人，英语也常用wallflower一词来比喻，可直译为“壁花”。最初只指女士，后来也指男士。那么是谁最先使用这个有趣的比喻呢？始作俑者至今已无从考证，但wallflower这一用法始见于英国伯爵夫人坎贝尔·普雷德Mrs. Campbell Praed1820年的作品《郡办舞会》County Ball中。
