Definition
A genus of spiny shrubs native to South America, often used as ornamental plants, characterized by rigid branches and small leaves.
Etymology
Named after Philibert Collet, an 18th-century French botanist, using the Latinate naming convention '-ia.' The plant genus honors his contributions to botanical science.
Kelly Says
Scientific names honor forgotten people—Colletia shrubs are likely the only living memorial to Philibert Collet, whose name survives in species names centuries after most of his work is forgotten.
