I have a question about one of the words in Guys and Dolls. Right before the Happy Endings, Harry the Horse has a line about a "mesentheorum". I was wondering what a mesentheorum is? Please Help!

The souvenier program for the current London production has a glossery in the back of for those British people that might not know all the American terms in the show...
it lists Mesentheorum as Made up Latin. Probably confused with chrysanthemum.
oh, how I miss my Guys and Dolls.
