We've had galah, masdevallia, foumart, mahonia, stepmother's blessing, 
goolayyalibee, reremouse, skirret, vetiver, and snottygobble, not counting 
some I've picked, such as dogdrave and ked.

Plants don't have nationalities, but they can be endemic to countries. The 
species name indicates that the plant was found in Sopron, near the Hungary/
Austria border.

What kind of plant? A plant in the family Aristolochiaceae, many of whose 
flowers look like peculiarly bent tubes. Aristolochia (birthwort) used to be 
used as medicine in childbirth, until they figured out it's poisonous.

"Gally" is a real Hungarian word, meaning "twig". The other words with "lly" 
(which is the letter "ly" doubled) are "Illyés", "súllyed", and "zsöllye".
