A genus of Australian shrubs with tubular flowers, often grown as ornamental plants in gardens.
Named after the Portuguese botanist José Francisco Correia da Serra (1751-1823), following the Linnaean tradition of naming plants after notable naturalists and scientists.
The correa plant was named to honor a real person, which was common in botany—it's like a permanent tribute written in nature! Many plants around your house might secretly be named after forgotten scientists.
