Cyclamen \Cyc"la*men\ (s?k"l?-m?n), n. [NL., fr. Gr.
   kykla`minos, kyklami`s.] (Bot.)
   A genus of plants of the Primrose family, having depressed
   rounded corms, and pretty nodding flowers with the petals so
   reflexed as to point upwards, whence it is called {rabbits'
   ears}. It is also called {sow bread}, because hogs are said
   to eat the corms.
