The Botany

Glaucus comes from the Ancient Greek: Γλαῦκος (Glaûkos) which means 'glimmering'.

In botany, it often refers to a sea-green or bluish-green coloration of the foliage - we have another plant that bears the name : Festuca glauca

Glauque in French today means 'in poor health' - the linguistic shift is dramatic.
The Myth

Glaucus himself was a Greek prophetic sea-god, born a mortal fisherman and then becomes immortal after he ate a magical herb. I am still not sure which herb it was - would be nice to know for the future. I'll keep you posted.

It was believed that he rescued sailors and fishermen in storms.
