Reem Kattan is interested in any folklore associated with cyclamens.

Plant-lore Archive contains no cyclamen lore; if anyone knows any please could they send it to roy@plant-lore.com

Comment:  In Vickery’s Folk Flora (2019) it is noted that herbalists recommended cyclamen to ease childbirth, and there is a quote from John K’Eogh’s Botanalogia Universalis Hibernica (1735): ‘The root hung around a Woman’s Neck in Labour occasions speedy Delivery.  It is very dangerous for Women with Child to make use of it, or step over it.’
