Prophecy (1989) 317: FELIDOMANCY: Divination involving the
behavior or actions of a cat, ranging from changes in weather to
unexpected visitors, or other occurrences. Dating from the Middle Ages,
many of these have survived as popular superstitions.
I actually have not come across any real examples of this spelling,
nor does the OED or MED record any. This entry is based upon the
claim of Shipley.
Derived from Latin flor-, combining form of flos flower.
1973 Gibson Complete Illust. Bk Div. & Prophecy (1989) 317: FLOROMANCY: Any interpretation of future prospects through the study of flowers or plants, including their colors, petals, time of planting, and where planted. Many omens concerning the gathering of flowers at Midsummer's Eve have survived to modern times; and the "good luck" commonly attributed to the finding of a four-leafed clover falls in this category.
1985 N. Drury Dict. Mysticism & Occult 90/2:
Floromancy. Belief that flowers radiate vibrations and have curative
properties in healing disease. According to practitioners of floromancy,
flowers are said to respond to a sympathetic or hostile environment and
are affected by electric shocks. Professor Jagadish Chandra Bose of
Calcutta's Presidency College experimented with the effects of
electrical currents on plants around the turn of the century and was
convinced that plants possess a life-force or soul.
The most recent
proponent of floromancy is American lie-detector specialist Cleve
Backster, who wired three philodendrons to galvanometers on different
occasions to see how the plants respond to nearby trauma. Backster
monitored the plants as he placed a brine shrimp in boiling water
nearby, resulting in its instant death. ..Backster's galvanometer reading
showed significantly higher electrical resistance when the brine shrimps
were being killed, than on other occasions - suggesting that the plants
were responding "emotionally" to the traumas occurring nearby.
Unfortunately, attempts to reduplicate Backster's experimental results
have so far proved unsuccessful.
Derived from Latin folio, ablative of folium a leaf.
1955 Shipley Dict. Early Eng. (1963) 16:

Elbows, and the bottom of the Buttocks..and therefore..as there is

Natimancy.
