A genus of small tropical plants, also called desert rose or mock azalea.
From Greek koile 'hollow' or koilos 'hollow' plus the feminine plant genus ending -gyne (from gyne 'woman'), suggesting plants with hollow or cup-like structures.
Plant names with -gyne or -androus endings refer to flower parts—-gyne signals female reproductive structures—so Coelebogyne literally names the plant based on its distinctive hollow female flower parts.
