flustran.
/ˈflʌstrə/ The typical genus of polyzoa or bryozoa of the family Flustridæ; the sea-mat. The name was first used by Linnæus ( Fauna Suec. ed. 2. 1761), who says that he has substituted it for the older name Eschara, because the latter was ‘homonymous with the name of a disease’; but he does not give the etymology.
