The Term "Malus and Bonus" we here so often, which indicatescontractual incentive and sanction system between parties. Why then Malus (Penalty) for an apple. I searched and found the following information: (free translation from: http://www.montalegre-do-cercal.com/Pflanzenlexikon/Malus.html) TheLatin word Malus means "Penalty", translates as "evil". Eva seduced Adam in paradise with an apple. Apple = Malus? At the same time the emperor holds a golden apple in the hands, everyone knows the story of William Tell even today. The apple has been playing very long time an important role in human culture. Over thousands of years apples were a symbol of wealth, love and fertility. I don't know about other languages but in german there are so many proverbs around Apple. @ Narendra ji, I wanted to add some more information to your mail: [efloraofindia:85899] Rosaceae Week:Rose - A gift on all occasions (04/10/2011 NSJ) Rose colors red and white are combined in the tudor rose, read interesting information here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tudor_rose another piece of interesting Info can be found on http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wars_of_the_Roses. (German Rosenkrieg). The Term Rosenkrieg is used in German language for WORD-WAR between a couple.
