JIM & I "The Siamese Twins" [6-8 / (-15º)-30º], one of the constellations in the "One Size Fits All" (1975) "universe", has a star named "Althea".
Althea is a genus of the plants of which the Marsh Mallow and Hollyhock are species; by florists often extended to the genus Hibiscus. Althea is also a character from Greek mythology (the mother of Meleager). It is also the name by which Richard Lovelace (1618-1658) poetically addressed a woman, supposed to have been Lucy Sacheverell. Finally it's a track (words by Robert Hunter, music by Jerry Garcia) on The Grateful Dead's 1980 album Go To Heaven. Take your pick.
