Etymology

A helpful way to remember the word Helipterum is to think of the Greek parts heli- 'sun' and -pterum 'wing', the same 'pter-' you see in helicopter, so it paints the picture 'sun-wing'. This fits the bright, daisy-like plants that are often kept as dried 'everlastings' or used in flower arrangements.
