Lolli          (Named after the "lollipop" operator "-o") An       {interpreter} for {logic programming} based on {linear logic},       written by Josh Hodas .          Lolli can be viewed as a refinement of the {Hereditary Harrop       formulas} of {Lambda-Prolog}.   All the operators (though not       the {higher order unification}) of Lambda-Prolog are       supported, but with the addition of linear variations.   Thus a       Lolli program distinguishes between clauses which can be used       as many, or as few, times as desired, and those that must be       used exactly once.   Lolli is implemented in {SML/NJ}.          {(ftp://ftp.cis.upenn.edu/pub/Lolli/Lolli-0.7.tar.Z)}.          [Josh Hodas et al, "Logic Programming in a Fragment of       Intuitionistic Linear Logic", Information and Computation, to       appear].          (1992-11-18)

From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]:
Lily       The Hebrew name shushan or shoshan, i.e., "whiteness", was used       as the general name of several plants common to Syria, such as       the tulip, iris, anemone, gladiolus, ranunculus, etc. Some       interpret it, with much probability, as denoting in the Old       Testament the water-lily (Nymphoea lotus of Linn.), or lotus       (Cant. 2:1, 2; 2:16; 4:5; 5:13; 6:2, 3; 7:2). "Its flowers are       large, and they are of a white colour, with streaks of pink.       They supplied models for the ornaments of the pillars and the       molten sea" (1 Kings 7:19, 22, 26; 2 Chr. 4:5). In the Canticles       its beauty and fragrance shadow forth the preciousness of Christ       to the Church. Groser, however (Scrip. Nat. Hist.), strongly       argues that the word, both in the Old and New Testaments,       denotes liliaceous plants in general, or if one genus is to be       selected, that it must be the genus Iris, which is "large,       vigorous, elegant in form, and gorgeous in colouring."                The lilies (Gr. krinia) spoken of in the New Testament (Matt.       6:28; Luke 12:27) were probably the scarlet martagon (Lilium       Chalcedonicum) or "red Turk's-cap lily", which "comes into       flower at the season of the year when our Lord's sermon on the       mount is supposed to have been delivered. It is abundant in the       district of Galilee; and its fine scarlet flowers render it a       very conspicous and showy object, which would naturally attract       the attention of the hearers" (Balfour's Plants of the Bible).                Of the true "floral glories of Palestine" the pheasant's eye       (Adonis Palestina), the ranunuculus (R. Asiaticus), and the       anemone (A coronaria), the last named is however, with the       greatest probability regarded as the "lily of the field" to       which our Lord refers. "Certainly," says Tristram (Nat. Hist. of       the Bible), "if, in the wondrous richness of bloom which       characterizes the land of Israel in spring, any one plant can       claim pre-eminence, it is the anemone, the most natural flower       for our Lord to pluck and seize upon as an illustration, whether       walking in the fields or sitting on the hill-side." "The white       water-lily (Nymphcea alba) and the yellow water-lily (Nuphar       lutea) are both abundant in the marshes of the Upper Jordan, but       have no connection with the lily of Scripture."
