Twinflower (sometimes written twin flower, Linnaea borealis) is a woodland plant, either in the family Caprifoliaceae or sometimes in its own family Linnaeaceae. The stems are slender, pubescent and prostrate, growing to 20-40 cm long, with opposite evergreen rounded oval leaves 3-10 mm long and 2-7 mm broad. The flowering stems curve erect, to 4-8 cm tall, leafless except at the base; the flowers are paired, pendulous, 7-12 mm long, pale pink with a five-lobed corolla. Twinflower gets its name from the paired flowers. It is one of few species to be named after Carolus Linnaeus, the naming having been formally made by Linnaeus’ teacher. It is said to have been Linnaeus’ favorite plant; he took the flower as his own personal symbol when he was raised to the Swedish nobility in 1757. Of it, Linnaeus said “Linnaea was named by the celebrated Gronovius and is a plant of Lapland, lowly, insignificant, disregarded, flowering but for a brief time - from Linnaeus, who resembles it”. The twinflower has given its name to the popular Swedish girl’s name Linnéa or Linnea.
