A genus of flowering plants or a specific tropical plant species, though the term can be ambiguous in botanical classifications.
From Latin or Greek botanical nomenclature; the exact origin is uncertain, but '-ia' is a standard botanical suffix for genus names.
Plant names often hide mysteries—many tropical plants received scientific names from explorers who barely understood what they were looking at, so botanical names sometimes preserve colonial misidentifications!
