Irish bells


Articles on Rafflesia mention it is now considered to be related to poinsettia and Irish bells.  Irish bells sounds like a variation on the common name of Molucella, Bells of Ireland.  However, this is related to mint, thyme, salvia and other labiates, so obviously the writer did not mean that bell.

Do any of you call something "Irish Bells"?
