A type of flowering plant in the family Acanthaceae, known for its showy colorful flowers.
From Greek 'doxa' (glory) plus 'anthos' (flower), literally meaning 'glorious flower'—named for the plant's striking, colorful blooms.
The genus name itself is a poetic description—gardeners chose to name this plant 'glory flower' because when these tropical plants bloom, they absolutely cover themselves in vibrant red and orange blossoms.
