Etymology

Hatiora is a scientific plant name probably made from a person's name, so it works like a proper name for a small group of cacti. A helpful way to remember Hatiora is to notice the start hat and imagine a little houseplant cactus wearing a tiny 'hat', which links to its use as a small ornamental or houseplant.
