Definition
A genus of tropical herbs and shrubs with colorful flowers, often grown as houseplants or garden ornamentals.
Etymology
From Greek 'era' (spring or early) + 'anthemum' (flower, from 'anthos'). The genus name suggests flowers that bloom early in the season, though the etymology is somewhat disputed among botanists regarding the exact meaning of 'era' in this compound.
Kelly Says
Eranthemum is commonly called 'blue sage' in English, but despite that name it's not really a sage at all—it's a clever example of how plant common names across different countries can be totally misleading, while scientific names keep botanists on the same page!
