Definition
A tropical plant with pale or white flowers, or various flowers that resemble bone in appearance or color.
Etymology
From 'bone' + 'flower,' a descriptive name referring to the white or pale coloration of certain tropical blooms.
Kelly Says
Plant names often describe appearance rather than botanical classification, so 'boneflower' probably referred to several different species across regions—it's a reminder that common names are more poetic than scientific!
