The common name Job's tears refers
to the droplet-shaped, pearly white
"beads," and to the biblical man of the
Old Testament who endured great
suffering. This relationship to tear
drops is also reflected in the specific
epithet lacryma-jobi, in reference to
the tear-producing lacrimal glands
located near the eyes. Although there
is unanimous agreement that the
beads resemble tears, there appears
to be some disagreement as to exactly
whose tears the beads resemble.
Depending on exactly where you
happen to be in the world, this plant
goes by various names including
David's tears, Saint Mary's tears,
Christ's tears (Lacryma Christi), and
just plain tear drops.
