Sunflower

Sunflower, (fr. soleil): this appears only in one English coat of arms, and in this case the family is of foreign extraction. It is blazoned heliotrope, just as the French tournesol is sometimes used for the sunflower.

Azure, a heliotrope(or sunflower) or issuing from the stalk sprouting out of two leaves vert; in chief the sun in splendour proper--FLORIO[originally of Spain; granted 1614].

D'argent, au tournesol d'or tigé feuillé et terrassé de sinople--GUILLOIS, Ile de France.
